Can anyone tell me who this is? It looks a little like mayor Gavin Newsom to me, but i don't know. Any guesses?
Also, bonus points to any Alamedans who know where this sticker is located...
Foxtrot should be part of any self-respecting geek's weekly dose of funny, but this week's strip takes the cake. If you're into web comics at all, check it out... :)
(The references are to Gabe & Tycho's Penny Arcade, Scott Kurtz' Player vs Player, Randall Munroe's XKCD, and Nitrozac and Snaggy's The Joy Of Tech comics, all of which are part your complete breakfast. Kid tested, mother approved.)
From the site:
On July 4, 2007, the PROPAGANDA III art show opens in San Francisco.
There will be no curation and absolutely NO censorship of any sort. Expressed political viewpoints, be they left, right, or center, will be displayed side-by-side, both online AND in the real world.
PROPAGANDA III will tour the globe through 2008, with dozens of one day art shows worldwide - the current schedule includes stops throughout north america, south america, australia, asia, europe, and the middle east.
NO art will be sold at any of the shows, although copies of the posters will be available for sale directly through the websites of participating artists.
This is NOT a commercial art show, but rather a global celebration of free speech + untrammeled freedom of expression.
The collection of political posters will tour the world through 2008, before being donated to the Center for the Study of Political Graphics in Los Angeles. With over 50,000 posters, the CSPG archive is the largest collection of Post World War II graphics in the United States, and we are absolutely honored that the posters from PROPAGANDA III will have a permanent home following the world tour.

If you haven't seen these before, check out Goopymart's awesome collection of illustrated acronyms that you might encounter out there on "teh internets". I love the style of these. Be sure to check out the rest of Goopymart's stuff on Flickr as well. Brilliant.
(Now if only these were available as t-shirts or mugs or something...)
