 Recently I Googled "Clutch Cargo" to determine how to spell the series' famous Syncro-Vox system, which I remembered more for its use in Alex Toth's "Space Angel." As I was perusing the Wikipedia entry for Monsieur Le Cargo, the thought hit me like a ton of bricks: Clutch Cargo and Barack Obama were separated at birth! Just to make sure I wasn't imagining things, I showed both images to about a dozen folks and they all agreed with me. Obama looks even more like Cargo in this AFP photo.  Of course, not everybody sees the similarity. My friend _______ says Barack and Clutch look nothing alike, but that's to be expected, since he also claims that the classic John Singleton Copley portrait (detail shown at right) of Paul Revere looks nothing like Bob Hope.MORE INFORMATION Toon Tracker Toonopedia Alex Toth artwork ChicagoScope feedback line: 312-683-5272.
