Alabama artist depicts Trump victory in Superman parody cartoon

BIRMIGHAM, Ala. — It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No, it’s Super Trump. Well, at least that is how local Alabama designer Patrick Giles drew it up.

After Trump’s victory, Alan Brumbeloe hired Giles to work on a design that would depict the president-elect’s victory over Democrat Hillary Clinton, the Republican establishment, and the media. Brumbeloe said that it is a direct parody of the film Superman II wherein the title hero battles against a trio of super-powered alien villains.

“You’ll see Paul Ryan as the left-most super villain. He has the ‘R’ on his shirt, which stands for the Republican establishment. Of course you see Hillary, and then you see the media with an Anderson Cooper-looking guy with the microphone. And the caption “Can’t Trump This” is an obvious take-off on ‘Can’t Touch This,’” Alan Brumbeloe said.

According to Brumbeloe, Giles has been doing animation for quite sometime. In the 80s, he was an official artist for Garbage Pail Kids, a series of trading cards produced by the Topps Company meant to parody the popular Cabbage Patch Kids dolls. He has also worked with Conan O’Brien on various projects in recent years as well.

Giles’ full original design can be seen below.
