Lieberman of Oa

“[I]f only Joe Leiberman had blue skin he'd look exactly like an Oan.” — Neil Gaiman

Hm, let’s see (this is done a bit hastily, hence the glitch in the shoulder)...

[ Lieberman of Oa ]

For comparison, the only image Google could find me of a Guardian of the Universe.

Someone released a statue of one of the Guardians, Ganthet. Useful for comparison.

Inerersting trivia: Gil Kane based the look of at least one Guardian on David Ben-Gurion.

From Ganthet's (the best known guardian) hair, it would seem to be him.

I picture Lieberman more as one of the traitorous Metalunans (http://www.msu.edu/~daggy/cop/images/00000071.gif) from "This Island Earth." (http://207.136.67.23/film/Reviews/tie.htm) (I think the '50s/John Broome Guardians were fashioned after the template of E.E. Smith Arisians -- but after Ron Marz got his hands on them, the Guardians devolved to the point where there wasn't much difference between them and the Metalunans (or an angry high school principal having a bad day).

Plenty of Oan images here (http://www.glcorps.org/).

It's been noted by a number of observers that the Senator with Joementum bears more than a passing resemblance to another well-known Senator.

Senator Palpatine.

(Did you catch my blog entry many months ago about Cheney being greeted at one speech, as he entered, with the Darth Vader March?)
