What is Doonesbury symbol for Barack Obama?

[warrior1]

We had a * for bush. Does anyone know?

[vi5]

1. What was Clinton?

I honestly don't remember.

[ogneopasno]

3. A waffle.

[TexasLady]

2. !

seems logical to me!
!!!!!

[slampoet]

4. How about the word YES.

[Bandit]

5. There is a reason Bush* will always have an asterisk after his name

It is because of the Extreme Court ruling that stopped the vote count and awarded Bush* the Presidency. I beleive it was Justice Bryer that said Bush* would always have an asterisk following him. There is no reason for Obama to have a symbol other than his name.

6. I don't think there is one yet

I read Doonesbury every day, and have for quite a while--don't recall one for Obama.

10. After all Michael Doonesbury hails from Tulsa OK

[CTyankee]

26. The "real" Michael Doonesbury lives right here in New Haven, CT!

His name is Charles Pillsbury and he was Trudeau's roommate at Yale. Charlie is a lawyer who runs a nonprofit dedicated to mediation (rather than litigation). His family money has allowed him to work at what he loves best...

7. His ever degrading gladiator helmet for Bush* was sheer genius!

[Burma Jones]

8. I think Ears are appropriate

From what I gather, Obama listens more than he talks, a sure sign of brilliance

[SoCalDem]

17. ears.. for sure & a big smile

:)

[JHB]

9. He doesn't have one yet.

My guess will be the smile.

11. I have a suggestion for Gary ....

How about ... ¢ .... for 'change'?

[onehandle]

12. I doubt it will be 100% flattering. It is a political comic strip after all.

I expect something clever.

[Tarc]

13. Maybe a halo? To play on the perception of the Messiah imagery

That'd work.

[onehandle]

14. That's the very first thing I thought of, but he might catch shit for that.

But I think that's in the ballpark, for sure.

[cobalt1999]

16. I don't think he cares about catching shit n/t

[texanshatingbush]

15. Which reminds me.......

....does anyone have a link to the much-anticipitated Doonesbury Wednesday-after-the-election cartoon strip???

[OxQQme]

[Matariki]

23. That was brilliant!

[texanshatingbush]

25. Thanks for the link!! n/t

[Orsino]

19. Should be a shining light.

One too bright for other characters to look at, if Trudeau wants to be satirical.

"Please, sir. The TV crews are complaining again." :D

[Homer Wells]

20. I'm thinking the dark sunglasses he looks so good in!

[Ioo]

21. O

[MilesColtrane]

24. A star?

As in, "rock star".

[MurrayDelph]

27. Considering how many times I heard that story:

How about a pie?

[Reader Rabbit]

28. Wasn't Bush's a centurion's helmet?

A la Roman emperor type thing?
