Anthony Weiner’s new sexting scandal is being spoofed on the latest issue of The New Yorker.
A cartoon image of the New York City mayoral candidate, who released a public apology after explicit messages and photos of his “Carlos Danger” alter-ego emerged online earlier this week, is seen straddling the Empire State building on the magazine’s August 5 cover.
John Cuneo, the artist of the cover, said of the illustration, “Free association made me think of the Empire State Building, and then King Kong, the iconic image of him straddling it.”
“And then Weiner sexting, his head tilted and looking a certain way,” explained Cuneo, who added, “But all I could think about while working on this piece was, ‘Will Weiner still be in the race by the time it runs?’”
