Personal Quote:

"It would be innacurate to say that Huey's opinions are my own. I think there's a broad opinion being put through the strip with a combination of all the characters' voices." - on whether or not Huey Freeman, the strip's main character, is a mouthpiece for McGruder himself. See more »
