McGruder moves beyond 'Boondocks'

December 19, 2007 The creator of the hit animated series on Adult Swim has struck a new deal with another Turner Broadcasting-owned outlet, the online comedy hub Super Deluxe, to create and write a live-action series out of his shingle Partner Rumble Studio. Beginning next month, "The Super Rumble Mixshow" will unspool over 20 mini-episodes that will mix sketch comedy and myriad other formats in keeping with McGruder's brand of racially charged humor. McGruder is looking forward to taking on topical targets without the long lag of animation development.
