Twitter users noted on Monday morning that Amy Sherald's portrait of former first lady Michelle Obama resembled someone else, not its muse.
The former first lady's painting was done by Sherald, a Baltimore-based artist who won the Gallery's 2016 Outwin Boochever Portrait Competition.
"As you may have guessed, I don't think there's anybody in my family who's had a portrait done, let alone a portrait that will hang in the National Gallery," Obama told attendees.
"I am a little overwhelmed, to say the least," she added. "I am humbled. I am honored. I'm proud, but most of all, I am so incredibly grateful to all of the people who came before me in this journey — the folks who built the foundation on which I stand."

Of course that looks nothing like Michelle, but I watched the “dedication” today where Obama complimented the painting including saying how it captured how “hot” she is.
I got your reference to R. Crumb’s cartoon character in Zap Comic #2. It came out 50 years ago! Still laugh at those comics.
