Osama Bin Laden

I drew Osama Bin Laden as the typical evil vizier or despotic sultan familiar to aficionados of children's cartoons and Orientalist travel literature: bulging eyes, thick, sensual lips, a dagger-like nose, wicked eyebrows, a mediaeval beard and, above it all, a snowy white turban. His eyes may be large and almond-shaped, but they are full of darkness; his mouth, slightly open, can proffer questions and orders -- but the answers will be neither heard nor understood.
