Let’s see...what has Gary Trudeau done in the past to symbolize the President?
Nixon-a brick wall
Ford-don’t recall he did anything
Carter-a talking peanut (IIRC)
Reagan- a take-off of ‘Max Headroom’ named ‘Max Headspace’
Bush 1-an asterisk
Clinton- a waffle
Bush 2- a floating Roman war helmet
I’m thinking the REAL reason GT hasn’t done anything about Obama is that if he DOES, he’ll be labeled a racist! No matter what he might come up with, he’s screwed, and he kows it. So...just say “I can’t come up with anything”. Easy out.
Why not a talking Slurpee?
We need to help Gary choose a suitable symbol for the current Commander-In-Grief. I’d suggest a worm.
A blank birth certificate or Indonesian passport would be appropriate for Zero.
He depicted Clinton as a waffle, because he wasn’t “liberal enough”. And when the Lewinsky scandal hit, you’d think it would have been a cartoonist’s goldmine. But instead he spent his time satirizing Ken Starr.
