In a recent Reddit AMA exchange with Creative Director of the Batman cartoon Jeff Matsuda, he offered to draw anything asked, and naturally our friends Jon and Stephen (and Batman) came up. Jeff responded with the following masterpiece, entitled “Bat Stewart and Robin Colbert”:

In this edition we feature a poem written by Franklin Neubauer, who also commissioned a portrait of Stephen attired as Pope Leo XIII to illustrate the verses.
Here is an excerpt of the poem:
Franklin explains his inspiration for poem and the artwork, designed by BizzyBzzz Graphic Design:
My poem makes the case that Stephen has exceeded all rivals to the title of The Greatest Pundit. The Latin translation of The Greatest Pundit, Pundit Maximus, was chosen to fit Stephen Colbert. Occasionally, the Pope has used the Latin title Pontifex Maximus.
To illustrate the poem, the artwork needed to be similar to art used to portray earlier Popes. A review of images of Popes during September 2012 uncovered a portrait of Pope Leo XIII suitable for adaptation. Pope Leo’s reign began in 1878, a time of more traditional values, befitting Stephen Colbert. Also, Leo was not as heavy as some predecessors were, so his outward appearance was closer to Stephen’s.
Amazing artist and Fordham University student Tim Luecke shared with us the wonderful animation he created for the opening of Fordham’s recent “The Cardinal and Colbert” event at the college. Take a look:

Chaplain of the Colbert Nation Fr. Jim Martin posted this beautiful caricature on his Facebook page, created by Fordham visual arts student Tim Luecke. Depicted are the participants in the upcoming event being held at Fordham University September 14th: Stephen, Cardinal Tim Dolan, and Fr. Jim.
I am sure the kids at Fordham are all fired up for Stephen to appear at this event, and the colors and the overall playfulness of this piece convey that excitement.

Outline:
‘Fake News Rumble’ is an unofficial Daily Show and Colbert Report web comic I started in 2009. The premise is Dick Cheney reveals himself to be an evil alien overlord bent on destroying the world. The only ones who can stop him are our favorite late night duo along with a massive cast of other fake news/real news personalities lending a hand to save the day. Basically, put pop culture, comic and anime references, plot, magical powers and weaponry, along with everyone from TDS and TCR into a blender and hit frappe’, that’s the comic. To get a better idea, there’s a whole chapter devoted to a 50 foot Conan O’Brien rampaging through New York. It’s THAT kind of comic.
I finished the first story arc earlier this year and compiled the whole thing into a printed version that I plan to hand off to both the TDS and TCR studios. I’m heading up to a TCR taping next week and I hope to hit a TDS taping before New York Comic Con in October. Right now the comic is 15 chapters long, the printed version totals out at 504 pages and I’m planning on adding three epilogue chapters online to the comic later this year.

Welcome to Fan Art, where we highlight the glorious manifestations of Stephen, as rendered by fans and talented artists.
In this week’s Fan Art we highlight the work of Florida artist Jessie Bowie. Jessie takes portraits of subjects and morphs them with other unrelated objects, like bacon, for example. In the case of our friend Stephen she chose the most intuitive concept possible, a “flag” colored eagle:
Jessie describes her work this way: “I sit at the kitchen table and paint anthropomorphic freaks. It’s much more fun to paint humans that aren’t human and honestly that’s all I can think of now when I begin to paint. I like to imagine where my paintings end up and it’s exciting to think that someone was confused at a dinner party because of me. I think that’s the essence of life. Confusing guests.”

New York based artist Alison Cowles specializes in oil portraits and caricature, with a penchant for funny people as her subjects:
I like her use of color, and the overall more modern take on caricature art. There is nothing overly cutesy about this work. Not a tennis racket to be found! Also cool that these portraits are done in oil.
