Mystery Man

Three guesses: Who was this caricature from today's Star Tribune letters page supposed to be?



I thought maybe Ben Bernanke or the late King Hussein of Jordan. What do you think?

Scroll down for the answer.










It's supposed to be Herman Cain. You can tell from the 999 pizza hes's holding:


Good thing that pizza was handy or the illustrator, Jennifer Kohnke of the Chicago Tribune, would have been at a total loss.

Is this the only piece of artwork the Strib had available? Or could they not tell how bad it is?

    I guessed Tom Keith, who just died. It was the way the corners of the mouth turned up in the smile. Wow, what a bad caricature....
