There’s still more comics-related political campaigning as this animated banner plays out the dialogue from the game in The Sandman #4, replacing Dream and the demon Choronzon with Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

On his blog, writer Neil Gaiman responds to an email asking how he feels about his work being used: “Given that permission on this isn’t mine to give or withhold (DC Comics owns Sandman, after all) I honestly don’t mind at all. I think of me twenty years ago phoning the late Gytha North and picking her brains for the opening (‘Do we want warrior to wolf or warrior to deer?’) while writing a comic I figured would probably be cancelled by the end of its first year, and it just makes me smile that it’s a well-known enough sequence that someone would use it for political stumping.”
