furtechI don't know if anyone has made the comparison yet, but it seemed so obvious to me:
Ever since I saw the pictures of North Korea's new Dear Leader, the picture of Herbie stuck in my head. It's like they're twins...or Jong-un is the live-action version of Herbie.
For those of you totally confused, Herbie is a character from a bizarre comic of the Silver Age called Herbie The Fat Fury , about a fat kid who speaks and acts in a monosyllabic deadpan and has god-like powers from the lollipop he got from The Beyond. The comic is surreal and slapstick and has a huge cult following. I think Dark Horse released a collection of the original comics.
