Thanks for posting the end of the story. I have some of the earlier chapters, but that last issue has eluded me. "1976: Pettigrew for President" was a very informative story about the election process. What first drew me to it was the amazing artwork by Joe Sinnott, who inked most of the classic Jack Kirby issues of THE FANTASTIC FOUR in the '60s. (And for fellow Silver Age Marvel fans, Pettigrew also featured a Jasper Sitwell lookalike.) -- Gary P.
Well, kinda interesting. Walter/Wendy. I bought the Walter Carlos LP. Then I got the Wendy Carlos CD. Is this music somewhat prophetic? Will we have a GLBT President this century? Eh?
I had this comic too, being a good Catholic school kid. And I kept it. And I looked at it during the primary and I looked at it again the next morning after Nov 4, 2008 (I was at the Grant Park, you betcha!).
And I am smiling right now as I write this!!! In fact, I still can't believe it. It will be so cool on 20-Jan-09. I am waiting for 12:01pm that day, baby. Time can't go fast enough.
whoever does the music, its creepy. it brings back terrible childhood memories of me being scared shitless by a clown. seriously clowns scare me more than any fictional monster. have u ever seen It by steven king? but anyways im meandering of topic. hurray for the first black president. boo for the circus.
That's pretty eerie. And the one panel of the white guy with Pettigrew on the stage. OMG, that looked exactly like how it was last night when Obama went on stage to deliver his speech. And the panel of people in the crowd cheering for Pettigrew, was exactly like last night. Gives me goosebumps thinking how they mirror one another. Scary even.

Sorry if it brings back bad memories. I don't like circuses either, but for other reasons.
