This cartoon depicts Atheists of Florida members at Lakeland City Commission meeting April 5: (from L-R) Portia W., Rob Curry, EllenBeth Wachs, me, John Kieffer, as SAAAATAAAAN, and Jaime can be barely seen on the far right.  

Below is a photo take by a Ledger photographer from which the cartoon was derived (Jaime is repositioned in cartoon)

How so?
Old, fanciful, or non existent?
Do you have to take it on faith that it is funny?
