158. Vote Republican!:
Republicans Attack (1) 1992.
Writer Jim Vance (Kings in Disguise)
and pioneer computer cartoonist Mark Landman (Buzz,
Blue Loco) collaborated on an elaborate and hilarious 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 were skewered but the Republicans, as the
title implies, were really skewered. The card set achieved
favorable reviews in institutions as conservative as the Wall
Street Journal (front page article).
Publisher Kitchen Sink Press 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. On this first button Vice Presidential
candidate (was he really elected?) Dan Quayle waves
as his wife Marilyn stands beside him wearing an "I'm
With Stupid" T-shirt. (See also buttons #159-161.)
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.
