Everyone together now: “Erotic Obama Comic”
Spotted on Robot 6: “Japan one-ups everybody (again) with erotic Obama comic – Savage Dragon and Barack Obama? Old news. Spider-Man and the president? Pfft. Kids’ stuff. Japan pushes past the Spandex and slugfests — and, apparently, boundaries — with Tonari no Taro-kun (”My Neighbor Taro-kun”), an erotic manga starring Prime Minister Taro Aso. Hence the title.” Continued inside…
But the February issue of My Neighbor Taro-kun features a very special guest: a dead ringer for U.S. President Obama. If I’m not mistaken, er-Obama is flanked in the panel at the right by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and possibly Sen. John McCain. Or Ron Howard; it could go either way.
According to Gia Manry, the gist of the issue is that Taro-kun gets “a black neighbor who calls for change.” Judging from these scans from Sankaku Complex — not safe for work, but probably not as bad as you imagine — he wants a little more than change.
Manry also points out the artist draws er-Obama with a dot (or Urna) on his forehead, a symbol of enlightment or wisdom often seen in depictions of Buddha. Cue another round of those “Chosen One” comments … now.

[...] White House & Record Face Spotted in charles le brigand’s photostream and simply noted as: “White House, Carlito Brigante visits Washington DC”. What a great mix of location, stencil and media. However, the placement of the whole does remind me of this strange comic. [...]
