Guy Mitt Smiley Romney



So I have to draw Mitt Romney for the New Yorker and I find he's tougher to draw than you might think. They liked the sketch I sent them just fine, but Guy Smiley is stuck in my head and it's making it hard to draw Romney not as a Muppet.



As far as I know, Romney Muppetness was first pointed out on the Daily Show a few weeks back, but it may be something everyone was already aware of but me.

Apparently Mitt Romney isn't the only famous person resembling a Muppet:

Looking forward to seeing that New Yorker.
