Explanation[edit | edit source]

The author writes:[edit | edit source]

A picture dramatically showing how Obama has aged during his time in office so far has been doing the rounds on social media, and today (January 13) someone added a comparison between Palpatine when he first appeared in Star Wars to his final form as a hideous Sith lord. Perhaps by the time this Garfield-ised version pops out of the queue, the "Presidential comparison" meme will have already become a social media sensation, run its course, and died a peaceful death, causing this SRoMG submission to clearly show the ravages of age. How meta.
