Hueys Menu

voiced by Regina King. Huey, the show's protagonist, is a ten-year-old leftist radical black revolutionary and retired domestic terrorist. He is a swordsman and near master practitioner of martial arts, as seen in the episodes "Let's Nab Oprah," "Stinkmeaner 3: The Hateocracy," and "...Or Die Trying." He maintains an austere yet strangely loving relationship with his brother, Riley, and has shown the willingness to go out of his way to prevent his brother from succumbing to bad influences (occasionally giving him some "tough love"). Over the course of the comic strip and television series, Huey retains a sober demeanor, tending not to let his countenance relay his mood. During most episodes, Huey takes on the role of narrator, and it is often only through his narration that his thoughts and emotions are revealed.In the comic strip Huey's best friend was Michael Caesar, who effectively balanced out Huey's pessimistic world outlook with his upbeat personality and temperament. The role he played in Huey's life has been taken up by his neighbor Jazmine Dubois in the television series. Jazmine, unlike Caesar, tries to balance Huey's demeanor with a childlike, naive innocence. Although Huey sometimes treats Jazmine coldly, he has shown a proclivity to empathize with her on occasion. Huey has a strong care for Jazmine. This is shown in the episode "The Fried Chicken Flu" and "The Block Is Hot."Riley can be seen as representative of the misguided black youth.
