The genetic lottery as still life. I like it.

Thanks! And thanks to whomever it was that caught my spelling error. I panicked and forgot to thank them.

Great commentary on much of the leadership we see, too! (especially middle/upper management)

;~)

liza Donnelly. you 'spiel' okay too me.
This reminds me of the great illustration.
It was in The 13th century Herb Quarterly.

born in the world a brief span:`fraud pew.
the quack 'leader' wants shoes spit-shined.
'Um no know Love, and become ill-brutal.

A child will mature and wish to slug-scum.
Their fake 'smile' is nothin' but vile-filth's.
The fakes will sponge from better humans.

I always appreciate your NYT illustrations
artist will create ideas. The mind wanders
a gift. your illustration has good swaggers

Very funny!

Note that the new kid doesn't have "leader" in his title. He's been given the label "Brilliant Comrade."

Could this be an acknowledgment that no actual leadership is expected of him? That he's just this swell smart God-Dictator whelp who will show up and shine for the camera at mass games and military parades and subway station openings?

I predict the next Kim will be titled "Friendly Buddy."

Does he have the big glasses and poufy hair? And when does he get the Leisure Suit of Leadership?

This is about University promotions......right?

uh-huh...right.

Funny! Thanks.

Thanks! I like the title "Friendly Buddy".
