Murillo - known to be an eccentric intellectual and spiritual influence on the president - has created a perplexing religious culture based on strange symbolism, superstition and fear.

"I draw her as a female version of Ortega, with less weight and lots more hair," said Guillen, who in his cartoons has dubbed...
