- Bug in :meth:`DataFrameGroupBy.boxplot` passes a ``tuple`` instead of a ``string`` when input ``DataFrame`` is pre-grouped using more than one ``column`` (:issue:`14701`)

The link to the API docs won't resolve unless you include a . before DataFrameGroupBy; so it should be :meth:`.DataFrameGroupBy.boxplot`

Instead of ret = pd.Series(dtype=object) above, can you do:

data = {}
for (key, group), ax in zip(grouped, axes):
    ...
    data[key] = d
ret = pd.Series(data)

In general one should not construct a Series row-by-row (this is very slow), but rather provide all the data upfront. I think this will also allow tuples for key.

nit: Just to adhere to existing conventions in tests, could you either call this grouped or gb. These are the names used in other tests here.
