Obama cartoon "Obama Been Lyin' "

I did this cartoon back in July 2007, when reporters doing background stories on Obama interviewed his childhood friends in Indonesia and Hawaii. They found many inconsistencies with Obama's account of his early years. Basically, although Obama denied it, all of his acquaintances said that, in his early years in Indonesia, he was raised as a Muslim. Apparently, he only converted to Christianity and was baptized in Chicago in 1988, after he moved there following college. Nothing wrong with that, so why lie? I did get one minor fact wrong - he apparently attended the Catholic school (enrolled as a Muslim) first, and then he was enrolled in the Muslim school. I had the chronology backwards. Lately (April 2008) this cartoon has begun popping up and been much discussed on the internet. (If you google the words "Obama cartoon", it's the first thing that pops up.) More news! (August 2008) The face from this cartoon now graces the cover of the new book "Barack Obama is Your New Bicycle" by Mathew Honan, due out on August 5th from Penguin Books.
