Barry Blitt is really hitting it out of the park, isn’t he? When you get Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert to mimic your drawing in a year of intense political scrutiny, you have created an iconic image.

Never dispute the power of the image to evoke and adapt.
Nice covers.
They all work in my opinion.
I’ve got the EW cover at home, and what is amazing his how Colbert absolutely nails the Michelle Obama from the NYer. For all the talk of Jim Carrey’s “rubbery features,” I think Colbert matches him.
Or it could be Photoshopped.
The Nation has a clever play on the New Yorker cover: http://www.thenation.com/images/_img/20080929/toc.jpg
