That's a drawing by cartoonist Mark Poutenis that accompanied a story in the alt weekly Miami New Times a few weeks back about Sithole No. 1 seed God's Power Offor's NOTY bid.
Let's break it down: G.P. is on the left -- white, buff, and Christian, an apparent cross between Sampson and the Cowardly Lion -- smiting some NOTY challengers: Hitler (Makofane), Stalin (Felipe) and Dr. Speedy Nutz. We'll be pitching our NOTY superhero comic book and movie series in the morning.
In real life, of course, G.P. is a Nigeria-born junior defensive end at American High School in Hialeah, Fla. He really looks like this. He romped through the first round of balloting with a NOTY-leading 59 percent of his quadrant. And, as we previously chronicled, he loves his name.
And now we will go for the easy joke: It will take a ShaMiracle to stop G.P.O. in the Sithole. Vote now (two matches). And, of you haven't already, scroll down and vote in the Bulltron Regional, too.
No. 1 God's Power Offor: Miami favorite.
No. 4: ShaMiracle Johnson: Georgia law school graduate.
No. 11 Banana Yaya: Cameroonian soccer player.
No. 2 Tronic Williams: Western Michigan defensive back.

I am proud to say that I was able to identify all of the characters in the drawing without reading the post. Would love to see more of this guy's work.
Banana Yaya - Ben & Jerry's don't have this trademarked?
Wait, Tronic has to beat Banana Yaya. Tronic Williams? Are you kidding me??!
NOTY should have a athlete bracket and a non-athlete bracket.
Your link for Banana Yaya says that the person in the photo with him is a US soccer player called Dilly Duka.
Dilly Duka! He coulda been a contender, surely??
ShaMiracle Johnson - the next new product from the makers of ShamWow!
