Six Comics About Obama

Six Post-Election Comics About Obama

Three Mock-Cynical Comics About Obama
"Barack Obama and the Invasion of Time" from Bob the Angry Flower (compare to "Kerry Wins", maybe the saddest non-Peanuts comic ever written)

"The Two Presidents" (context starts here-ish or you can read up on Presidential Candidate Kerry Edwards in the news post here. Obama is becoming a strangely defined character in Overcompensating, take a look at the strip here to see what I mean.)

"President Hussein" at American't

Two Genuinely Sentimental Comics about Obama
"Dear Mr. Obama" from American't

"$15 from Leendert Geffen" from Donation Derby

One That Could Go Either Way
"Morning in America" from Cat and Girl


Tellingly, and lot of the cynical and genuine comics are coming from the same people.

My favorite thing said in a comic about Obama, from before the election:

"The engine of America is smoking and making clanky noises, ladies and gentlemen. We can worry about the radio when we hit the next gas station -- if we can make it there. Obama is not perfect but for a hitchhiker he's pretty good-lookin and he has a half-gallon of gas and says he knows how to work on cars and he doesn't seem too weird so let's pick him up."

Thank you, Jeffrey Rowland.

[update 8/14/09: Gastrophobia. I remember when I first started going through online comic archives, I would inevitably come across the strip the artist made for 9/11. Maybe now I can start coming across the strips everyone made for Obama's election!]
