President Obama has already made a cameo on the colorful pages of “Spider-Man,” and he’s getting the comic-book treatment once again with not one, but two special editions of “Archie,” and this time, he’ll share the covers with a certain “Thrilla from Wasilla.” —KA

Politico:

On the first cover we peeked, the two pols are featured looking downright friendly: Obama and Palin share a milkshake, prompting Archie to declare, “Wow, I guess anything’s possible!” Inside, Obama and Palin get involved with Riverdale High’s student government election, in which Archie is running against Reggie.

Insanity rules, and now in the comic book domain. And here I thought
there wasn’t any other way triteness in politics could be expressed but
I’m certainly wrong. So now a comic book artist has to put words into
Palin’s mouth and Obama’s! One is nearly inarticulate, the other has a
law degree and was a major in US Consititution history.
Yeowie Kazowie!!!! And kapow!
