Derivation of a drawing

I'm sure Barry Blitt had Angela Davis in mind when he drew his now-infamous cartoon for the cover of the New Yorker. Apparently you have to be my age or older to remember her, as I'd heard no one outside this house note the resemblance until I heard NPR's Talk of the Nation today, when both Neil Conan and Art Spiegelman mentioned her name.

Damn, you're right - and I missed it completely!
