GeoBooks: Aaron McGruder, Public Enemy #2
Reviewed By Clayton Ruley
 

Public Enemy #2 picks up where A Right To Be Hostile left off and talks about all the current events that happened up to and including the War in Iraq. Huey and Riley are still serving up their brand of justice and Huey in particular is still saying what most humans can't because of the ramifications it could have.

Most importantly, Aaron McGruder continues to challenge the reader to think outside the box and for African-Americans and minority gives them a voice where they have little to none! While he can't create action he can certainly put the idea in the air through his illustrations and words and that has to be recognized and appreachiated.

McGruder catches a lot of flack for his opinions and the notion of the comic but he finds a way to laugh in the face of the opposition and even lets it add to the comics
presence! An example is the Adventures of Flagee and Ribbon, a spoof the patriotism of some Americans and how it clouds the truth. Other topics that this installment deals with include, The Kobe trial, Rush Limbaugh and his little drug problem, The 2004 election, Hip Hop (as usual) and other social and political events and happenings.

Once again if you can stand to think and laugh too this comic strip does a body good! I'll give it 5 GeoGlobes. I hope it's not all fun and games for the reader though because most of this comic strip is so striking and true it deserve action. There are alot of things in this world that make you saw what!!!
