Cutie Pies Only!

When we last left The Boondocks's Grandpa, he had embarked on a quest to find companionship via "The MySpace", but as yet, had found no floozies.

See that URL in the comic? Instead of doing a fake Web address (the equivalent of the "555" phone number in TV and movies), or mentioning an address without having previously registered it, causing it to be taken by someone else (as happened in The Simpsons episode Das Bus, with Compuglobalhypermeganet), you can see Granddad's MySpace profile (complete with salty nickname):

Naturally, he lists Aaron McGruder as one of his Top 8 Friends.
