Since Mitt Romney announced Paul Ryan as his running mate, we've been hit with many, many videos and images from the campaign trail of the two yukking it up together. Some would call this two politicians trying to look good for the camera. The New Yorker calls it "bromance."

As illustrator Barry Blitt explains in this blog post, the idea for the cover came about after seeing the two 

“For all the forced bonhomie you see in campaign-stop photos of these two, they look about as comfortable to me as an anxious father and his new, soon-to-be son-in-law,” Blitt says. While sketching, he went through many different ideas—a few of which ended up on this week’s cover, “Bromance.”

Here are two more illustrations Blitt sketched before delivering the final cover:
