We got word of this from Scout.com’s recruiting analyst extraordinaire Evan Daniels, who tweeted out the link earlier today. We predict if the dance depicted in the last panel actually happens, President Obama might actually carry Kentucky in 2012, even though it was the first state on the map to be called on Election Night 2008, going to John McCain.
With John Wall presumably going to the Wizards, you have to figure this would result in the Prez doing the dance at least once. We’re not saying we want this to happen. We’re just saying it might. And it might be worth a few votes in the Bluegrass.
Even more interesting than the actual cartoon is the authorship. The copyright on the left side bears the name Demetrius Calip and there’s the “by D. Calip” at the top. You may recall that Demetrius Calip was a guard for the 1989 national champion Michigan Wolverines, but the site says the author is 11 years old. So either Demetrius has become a cartoonist and is using this 11-year old persona as a (rather poor) cover, or we have an artistic 11-year old college hoops fan who knows his Michigan basketball history, or bears the name of the former Wolverine.

Thanks RTC, This is Demetrius Calip, yes I'm the Author/Cartoonist of the Strip. In the words of the infamous Snoop Dogg "he is I and I am him, Slim with the Tilted Brim.." Also thanks for remembering the Old Days back at the UofM. Go Blue! Shot out to my Boy Darius Morris! Get it in Boy!
Hey, Demetrius! Thanks for the comment and for checking out the site. Enjoyed watching you and your teams during those UM days.
And we definitely don't have enough Snoop Dogg references on this site, so thanks for that, too. Good luck with the comic strip and we hope you're doing well!
