The magazine gave us a preview of the cover of its final issue of the month - entitled "October Surprise" - Monday and it's a scary one.

Goodrich explained in a tweet that he struggled to parody Trump in a cartoon because he is already a "walking, talking cartoon of himself."
it's difficult to effectively parody the man: everything about him is low hanging fruit. He's already a walking, talking cartoon of himself pic.twitter.com/vclmG0x8Jp

The frightening cover will be published just under one year since Trump was elected president.
"My whole life has been disrupted. It's a national nightmare," Goodrich explained to The New Yorker. "I'm still just as stunned now as I was a year ago, on Election Night."
The spooky presidential painting will cover The New Yorker's October 30 issue, just in time for Halloween, and people are ready for it.

Goodrich, who began his career as an illustrator in 1983, also has worked as a character designer on many films, including Despicable Me, Finding Nemo, and Ratatouille, according to his website.
"I have been asked to work on movies about [Trump]. I can't do it; most satire seems to lighten what feels to me like a dire situation," Goodrich said. "He's already a cartoon villain, infantile and strange."
