Bodysuit Bush

October 17, 2003

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's….Dubyaman! For the past two years, President Bush has been featured in the pages of India's biggest English language newspaper as a masked crusader with a W emblazoned on his bodysuit. In the eponymous cartoon strip, Dubyaman flies around the world mispronouncing the names of the places he has bombed, crashing into world monuments, and battling his nemesis, the Statue of Liberty. It's India's most popular comic, and has only gotten more so since the war in Iraq. OTM's Miranda Kennedy reports from New Delhi.
