Oddball "Red" Comic book...
I recently ran across the following on Scott Shaw's "Oddball Comics" site, and thought it might be of some interest to the meta-cartoonist and the Jihad: http://www.comicbookresources.com/columns/oddball/index.cgi?date=2001-08-28
The enemy soldier's line seemed especially appropritae, in view of Lenin's latent capitalist tendencies. Also makes me wonder what would happen if Michael introduced a "Joe Yank" proxy for conflict with the Dead Reds (not Al or Dubya, probably, given there character development thus far; maybe William Howard Taft??"

Hrm- Theodore Roosevelt? Edward Bernays (father of the public relations industry, and particularly appropriate?)

Well, only his head would be showing, after all. Teddy's head mya be slightly smaller, but neither should pose too many difficulties, assuming Michael could find decent photos or images of each, and assuming he'd even have any interest in using either (I've long had a certain sympathy for William Howard Taft, though.)

I've always liked Teddy Roosevelt, though. I'm tempted. For sure the whole Joe-Yank concept is pretty funny.
I'll think about it. On a subconscious level, of course. Then when I least expect it, I suppose Taft will pop up.
