A nice piece in the Times on the strip and the show. (http://www.nytimes.com/2005/10/30/arts/television/30ogun.html?8hpib) (free reg or bugmenot req.)

and here's an older piece in the New Yorker that's a good read. (http://www.newyorker.com/fact/content/?040419fa_fact2)

The strip has been on the decline for awhile, but McGruder himself said that would happen as he focused on making the show.

I'm pretty sure this is going to be good!

I don't read any magazines or watch TV so I don't have exposure to much advertisements (other than a few websites) so I had never heard of this show, was in NYC last weekend and the entire city was blanketed in ads, busses, benches, whatever.

Thanks for the links, I was confused as to why it was getting so much hype.

It's funny. I am not interested in politics in any way shape or form. I cannot bring myself to care. But I really enjoy the comic strip. Go figure.

It should be good, but the delays have me a bit worried.
