27 Years Ago Today, One of the Greatest Comic Strips of All Time Debuted (And It’s Just as Relevant Today)

I was a huge fan of The Boondocks comic strip back in the day! It was incredibly popular, appearing in over 300 newspapers before it finished in 2006. The story followed brothers Huey and Riley Freeman, who moved from Chicago to live with their grandfather in the mostly white suburb of Woodcrest. The name The Boondocks really captured how out-of-place and isolated these kids felt. It was a really powerful, politically-driven comic that spoke directly to the experiences of many African Americans in the late 90s and early 2000s. Honestly, it was unlike anything else in the newspapers then, and it’s still a cultural touchstone for me today.

This gives the game a unique intensity that sets it apart and could make it stand out from other titles in the genre.

39 Years Ago Today, the Best Cartoon of All-Time Premiered in a Surprising Way (And It Was Very Different)

Just as important, The Simpsons likely launched the entire genre of adult animation in America, and it’s been the leading style of TV comedy for the past forty years. Without it, popular shows like Family Guy, South Park, Bob’s Burgers, King of the Hill, and American Dad probably wouldn’t exist. Interestingly, The Simpsons didn’t begin as a typical TV series. It first appeared in 1987 as a collection of short animated segments on The Tracey Ullman Show.

Marathon’s WSTR Shotgun Nerf Means No More Two-Shotting Blue Shield (and Above) Users

As a big player, I’ve noticed one weapon is becoming super popular and overshadowing a lot of others for close-range fights. The developers are making a change so it can’t instantly take down enemies with Blue or higher rarity shields with just two hits. Don’t worry though, it’ll still be great for quickly taking out enemies with Green shields, which means we can still easily farm those Free Kit Runners to get Contracts!
