Doonesbury Shows Obama's Legs! (No icon yet)

[onehandle]

Many have been wondering what Obama's icon will be. If any.

Legs? None? Something?

Still not sure.

[BumRushDaShow]

1. It'll be interesting to see what he uses.

The legs look interesting though. :rofl:

[poiuytsister]

26. How many years did it tae before we ever saw BD

without a helmet?

[Hekate]

40. At least 40. BD didn't lose his helmet until he lost his leg. nt

[Submariner]

2. That Roman battle helmet has sure taken a beating in 8 years

LOL.....the hatchet and arrow sticking out is just great. :rofl:

[Mist]

3. There should be a dunce cap perched on top. nt

[MsLeopard]

10. Yes, and no feathers left at all!

Hilarious! Thank Gary Trudeau! :rofl:

[WeDidIt]

17. The Roman Helmet wasn't always the icon

Dubya started as an asterisk with a cowboy hat. The cowboy hat was later replaced with the Roman helmet.

34. The loose screw is good too

[FSogol]

4. That's how Trudeau always depicted Clint Eastwood in the strip.

Laid back and cool.

5. Could be a while

I expect we'll only see legs until after the inauguration. Who knows? He may just decide to go with legs, or arms, or hands for a while even after January 20.

[The Backlash Cometh]

15. Ears?

A knuckled fist?

[csziggy]

36. A big smile - that sexy, confidant one Obama has

[DavidDvorkin]

6. A curious choice, and curiously drawn legs

Those aren't the legs of a tall, slender man. They look more the way I imagine Karl Rove's would look.

Also, I'd prefer to imagine that Obama didn't address Little George as "sir" during their meeting.

7. Would you like fries with that?

Or a baked potato?

Sorry, no offense intended, your post just sounded like you were ordering off of a menu :)

[DavidDvorkin]

19. Huh?

[demwing]

20. OK. Ignore my post, lol

I've been up all night with a child in the hospital, and am obviously (to me!) loopy as all hell.

Sorry if I offended, and in retropect, I'm not sure what the hell I meant either!

[DavidDvorkin]

29. I wasn't offended, just bewildered

Hope the kid's okay.

[demwing]

8. I like the legs

Trudeau seems to be saying that "Obama's got Legs" and can stand on his own...

[bmbmd]

9. "Legs"

firm foundation. Well anchored. Endurance. Grounded.
Excellent representation.

[Lars39]

11. Love how he showed a "screw loose".

:rofl:

[kath]

16. I missed that. Brilliant!

:rofl:

Trudeau is a genius!

[Posteritatis]

27. It's been drawn progressively looser since '04 or so too (nt)

[tigereye]

12. I've been wondering that too!

maybe a basketball - or a Harvard diploma! ;)

[TahitiNut]

13. I think a black and white basketball would be apt.

We'll see,

[tigereye]

30. hey that's a good one!

Trudeau is really good at coming up with things that exemplify that president.

[MilesColtrane]

14. Scholar's cap for Obama?

[BuelahWitch]

28. I like that one!

:thumbsup:

[Cha]

18. The only thing wrong with this depiction is..

bush flatters himself. He looks like an old ugly caricature of his former self.

[ogneopasno]

21. Obama doesn't need an icon -- and by showing the legs, that's what he's saying.

He's an actual person. Says a lot.

[rvablue]

22. Someone help me out....Either I am blind or daft, but I don't see any LEGS

in the strip....help?

Which frame should I be looking at?

:dunce:

[Mz Pip]

24. last frame, lower right hand corner

I had to look a couple of times before I saw it.

[rvablue]

25. Thanks, Pip! n/t

[Pirate Smile]

32. I missed it too. Thanks for asking. You were not alone in your confusion.

23. The screw coming loose is a good touch

:rofl:

[tblue37]

31. Too short and plump. Our PE is very tall and lanky, and he has the

legs that go with that build.

[Undercurrent]

35. Is there some significance

to the fact that the conversation between Bush and Obama is not taking place in the Oval Office, but in the Yellow Oval Room? The Yellow Oval Room is behind the Truman Balcony on the second floor of the residence between the Living Room, and the Treaty Room. The Oval Office is of course in the West Wing.

Just wondering because Trueadu often puts little clue, and messages in his toons (Like the loose screw. Good one!).

[blogslut]

37. There were suggestions in a prior thread

The icon should be a brain.

I don't know what Mr. Breathed will choose but I have faith it will be something perfect.

[Wise Child]

38. A yin-yang symbol?

The two halves would move according to policy and governing strategy.
