160. Vote Bush/Quayle
'92: "It Can't Get Much Worse!" (1992).
On this third of four "campaign"
buttons Vice-Presidential candidate Dan Quayle cheerfully
sets the U.S. Constitution on fire as Presidential candidate
George Bush Sr. holds the gasoline can. 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 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. (See also buttons #158, 159 and 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.
