Venezuela's Chavez lives on as cartoon

The late Hugo Chavez lives on -- as a cartoon character, that is.

Months after the Venezuelan leader's death, Barrio TV depicts him high up in the clouds with the likes of independence hero Simon Bolivar and leftist revolutionary Che Guevara -- when Uncle Sam unexpectedly pops up.

"The devil is in the house, it smells of sulfur," the leftist Chavez says, reprising remarks he made about then US president George W. Bush in a speech at the United Nations in 2006.

Sporting a white beard and a stars and stripes suit, Uncle Sam soon gets the boot from a satellite and is seen crashing back to Earth -- Venezuela to be exact -- along with a little dog that licks his face.

The cartoon Presidential Island immortalized Chavez and other Latin American presidents. It's a classic.
