Sasuke's October Surprise is arguably ADF's magnum opus. Drawn at an unknown date in the run-up to the 2008 US Presidential election, as part of his series of anti-Republican artwork, it depicts Naruto's Sasuke Uchiha, wearing a white-and-black shemagh, shooting John McCain in the head while declaring "Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you were Danzou! You all look alike to me,... pfffft!"
So far, so typical. Shit got very real, however, when he decided to bring the picture with him to college one day. It isn't known whether he was just carrying it along with the other drawings he habitually brought with him, or he was specifically showing it to people; but either way the consequences would never be the same:
"ADF did have a run-in with the secret services because of his not-so-flattering pics of McCain ...and was suspended from school."
While a slightly exaggerated account (as ADF took pains to point out later, he was only questioned over it by state police), the basic elements are correct: somebody saw his picture and decided the most logical thing to do was call the cops. While he wasn't expelled from college, only suspended, the combination of this incident and everybody having realised how terrible a person he is led to him dropping out in November.
"I had no federal questioning, NJ state police were the highest, at the time, when I was in New Jersey"
While always keen to emphasise the supposed distinction between the ADF of then and the ADF of now, he nevertheless remains cagey about the incident; when asked about it over two years later he gave an extremely evasive response and tried to deflect the subject matter to a different anti-McCain drawing (in Google Translator Russian, no less).
