Don’t know who created this (the place I found it in just linked to it as a remote image), but it is certainly something you don’t see every day. One of the best parts from the first volume of Gaiman’s Sandman, with Obama as Morpheus/Dream and Hillary as Choronzon, a demon. I hadn’t read that comic in years, but after looking at the image for a couple of sentences, it “clicked”, and I remembered where it was from, and the unexpected ending, still beautiful after all these years: “I am hope.”

I don’t think Hillary is pure evil, though. I just think that she doesn’t yet understand a fact of U.S. politics, which even a foreigner like myself has already realized: between a Republican and a Republican wannabe, Republicans will vote for the real thing, and Democrats will stay at home. (John Kerry, anyone?)

Anyway, I thought about posting the entire dialogue here, but I think the effect is better if you read it on the image above. Just try to read it from the beginning (“I am a dire wolf…”).
