73. Princeton, Wisconsin [winter]
(1977). Art by Robert Armstrong.
The southern California cartoonist (Mickey
Rat) and musician (Cheap Suit Serenaders) was sufficiently
enchanted with his visit to this rural midwest hamlet that he
volunteered to create a souvenir button. The blizzard image may
not have been the tourist board's choice but it was a reasonably
accurate summary. The frosty temperature does not deter the Princeton
native from quaffing a sudsy "Tiger Brew." That local
brewery (motto: "The Beer with a Purr") was already
long out of business when Bob showed up but he knew that Kitchen
Sink came within inches of acquiring the Tiger Brew building
as its comic book headquarters, so it's inclusion here is a bit
of an in-joke. This image was later recycled as a cover for the
alternative rural paper, the Fox River Patriot. See also
button #74.
2.25" diameter. $4.00
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.
