 The New Yorker, long been known for its comedic covers that flirt with controversy, is taking on the firing of FBI Director James Comey and in the process comparing it to the outrage-inspiring story of the man who was forcibly removed from a United Airlines flight. 
 
 The cover for the May 22 issue of the magazine shows a complacent Comey being dragged down the aisle of a plane by Attorney General Jeff Sessions who is wearing a police uniform. Looking over his shoulder is the plane's captain, President Trump. 
 
 "It’s probably a bit of a leap," said artist Barry Blitt about his drawing for the cover, which is titled Ejected. "James Comey is six feet eight — he probably would have been happy to give up his seat in a cramped cabin."

 The cover instantly evokes the April 9 incident in which David Dao, a Louisville, Ky., doctor, refused to give up his seat on United flight after being involuntarily bumped. Police yanked Dao from his seat and dragged him off the plane, giving him a concussion and two lost teeth in the process. 
 
 Both the United incident and the Comey firing sparked waves of public outrage. It remains to be seen if the outcry over Comey will prove as ephemeral as that which followed Dao's rough removal.

– A New Yorker cover generating a lot of buzz likens former FBI director James Comey to somebody else who suffered a very controversial removal: United Airlines passenger David Dao. The cover for the May 22 edition shows Comey being dragged off a plane by Attorney General Jeff Sessions in a police uniform, with President Trump as the pilot looking on, USA Today reports. "It's probably a bit of a leap," artist Barry Blitt says of his cover. At 6-foot-8, Blitt observes in brief comments to the New Yorker, Comey "probably would have been happy to give up his seat in a cramped cabin." Blitt has provided many New Yorker covers over the years, including the 2008 Obama fist bump one, and the "Ejected" cover is being praised as one of his finest. Plenty of sketches came in, but Blitt "sent this one where, with an easy glide of his pen, he outlined the heart of the issue, giving voice to the outrage we feel on both sides of the aisle," art director Francoise Mouly tells the Washington Post. Mouly calls the artwork an example of how "deep artists can go by embracing nonsense and illogic—a response on par with Trump’s actions." (Here's how late-night hosts reacted to Comey's firing.)
