Recognize anyone in this picture?
Of course not, mostly because I can't figure out how to get Blogger to upload images of a decent size. But for the real thing, go here.The artists are Chinese, so there are more Chinese figures in the picture than a Western version would have, like Ciu Jian (the father of Chinese rock 'n' roll, just in case you didn't know).
It also shows yet one more advantage of the Internet. In a print version, there would be that accompanying version of the picture with all the figures in outline form with a number within each figure. In this version, when you put your pointer on a figure, the name pops up, and if you click, you go the Wikipedia entry for that person.
But why Mike Tyson and not Ali? And why do they think Hitchcock and FDR are fungible?
Hat tip to Lee Sigelman at The Monkey Cage for this link.
