The Saturday Comics: The Presidency In The Comics

Last week’s post about the truly exciting and sales-busting (not) Lyndon B. Johnson comic led me to some other comics about the President or the Presidency.

First up is a pair of historical comics, one by General Motors (ironic, now that you look back on it) and one by, once again, Dell.

Next up, a rather serious JFK comic…

…followed by a not-so-serious comic featuring President Nixon.

Jackie Jokers? Never heard of him, obviously a ripoff of my very own creation:

My lawsuit has been rejected by several firms but I still have hope!

The first ladies have gotten into the act as well. This one is by Charlton Comics.

Is it just me or is there something off about her whole face? Too big eyes, strange nose, cruel mouth. And her daughter? Her eyes look very suspicious. what does she see?

DC also had its own fictionalized comic about the Presidency, called Prez, about the first teenage President. Constitutionality be damned!

And finally, could there be a better President than Superman?

Would you declare war on the US?

Imponderable #41: Katrineholm Sweden

Didn’t I see this on HBO? They really should consider making this into a series. Think True Blood meets Oz.

This is the Odd Couple for the modern audience. He is a cannibal. She is a vampire. Can they live together without killing each other? I mean that literally. He killed and ate his girlfriend; she killed and drank a man’s blood. I think one of them will not survive the honeymoon. J-Date really nailed this match. 

It is obvious that these two crazy kids have no future together. Because one is going to devour the other.

If the article is correct, they are locked in the same psychiatric institution. If this were a Hammer film Peter Cushing would be conducting strange experiments in the back room.

What kind of child would a cannibal and a vampire have?

The question is Imponderable.

But the kid would look something like this:
