In response to the New Yorker's Obama cover

David Horsey draws a picture.

Update 7/17: Chet Scoville of Vanity Press has the best compilation of links and quotes about this cartoon I've seen yet.

All of the "irony-challenged literalists" have missed the point of Horsey's cartoon. They don't understand that they are the object of the satire, even though he spelled it out for them.

I refuse to admit humor is dead, though. I keep slapping its face and making it walk around the block...

I disagree, but I also think I've wasted too much bandwidth on an attempt at humor.

Not to pick on your blogging about it, ellroon.
