161. Vote Republican '92: Republicans
Attack! (1992).
The fourth of four "campaign"
buttons promotong Kitchen Sink's Republicans Attack! trading
cards shows a shocked Presidential candidate George Bush Sr.
holding the card set. The background: writer Jim Vance
(Kings in Disguise) and pioneer computer
cartoonist Mark Landman (Buzz, Blue Loco) collaborated
on an elaborate and hilarious boxed card set released during
the presidential election campaign of 1992. Starting with the
visual premise and format of the iconic Mars Attacks! trading
cards issued years earlier by Topps Gum, they playfully inserted
the major politicians of the day in a wild doomsday scenario.
The card set even include "wild card" Ross Perot,
the eyebrow-raising third party candidate.
Democrats like Edward Kennedy were
skewered but the Republicans, as the title implies, were really
skewered. The card set won rave reviews in institutions as conservative
as the Wall Street Journal (front page article). Publisher
Kitchen Sink decided that the most appropriate way to promote
the presidential parody was via traditional campaign buttons.
After abandoning the large 2.25 inch diameter buttons after #127
in 1984, the size was revived for this 4-button set only. (See
also buttons #158-160.)
Rare. 2.25
inch diameter. $15.00
One note, for serious button collectors,
you may want to read the KSP
BUTTON TEXT which explains the numbering systems for
identifying the various buttons produced over the last 30 years,
or see the COMPLETE
KSP BUTTON LIST. The list is VERY long, so be patient
while it loads.
