1. This cartoon was drawn by J.D. Crowe for Cagle Cartoons.
2. Here we have an undeniable depiction of the illustrious Rick Perry, dressed to a disturbing likeness to Heath Ledger's closeted homosexual character depicted in Brokeback Mountain, a film Crowe describes as " like the most gay movie of all time except for Top Gun."
3. The cartoonist puts meticulous effort into accurately portraying Rick Perry's questionable attire in the notorious "String" advertisement, which has at this point in time accumulated an admittedly admirable 623,203 dislikes on youtube, contrasted strongly by the internet community's embrace of Ron Paul following the Iowa caucus. Crowe was kind enough to provide direct commentary regarding the picture, stating "The thing is - and everybody knows this but homophobes - the more you talk about hatin' gays, the more you sound like a bitter, closeted homosexual." Jake Gyllenhaal's character is depicted opposite Perry to further assert this comedic stance, ironically commenting on how Perry's excessive homophobia may serve to mirror that which he has so devoutly opposed.
4. As previously stated, the cartoon addresses Perry's recent "Strong" campaign advertisement, in which he openly embraces religious practices in school while expressing disapproval for gays serving in the militatry.
5. The cartoon essentially works to emphasize Perry's continued ineptitude at appealing to the American public, strengthened by his disrespect of the military, regardless to one's sexuality. This commercial may very well serve as the nail in the coffin for Perry's campaign.
6. Perry's wardrobe assistants have a wonderful sense of humor.
