I would’ve went with Ray Walston back then. My fave Martian would have pull with the stoner demographic for straightening Spicolli out but allowing him to “squeak by” in history class…..
Could have been worse … they could have ended up with a former game-show host who can’t even stumble through reading a teleprompter. Or drink a glass of water without a sippy cup …
No, you don’t ’t wan tFred for several reasons. 1.) He thought Ni*on and Re*gan too liberal. 2.) Nothing was going to get him to leave his vineyards in the Russian River valley. 3.) By this time (1984 – 1988) his throat cancer and leukemia had come back with a vengeance. Not all smokers (Fred was good for 2 packs+ per day for 30+ years) get lung cancer.
This comic still works decades later. Trump has “My Three Sons”. If you count Eric. Also, Barr is as lovable as old Uncle Charlie. Everyone! Start humming the “My Three Sons” theme song on a 1, a 2, a 3…

Robert Young would have been a better choice

Nominating a dead cat is probably better than nominating a live cat….
But I kinda sorta think the Meadow Party is not gonna win, no matter what….

Come on, guys. One day, that cat will be the President of the United States! (Although not in 1984 nor in 1988 when he ran with the Meadow Party.)

Would Mr. Rogers have been a viable candidate?

Fred did “A” movies.

give the 1980’s some credit, their inexperienced candidate had been the governor of California, and delegated a lot to experts. (thank goodness).

I still think Pat Paulsen’s Platform is the best. It’s made out of really high-quality maple with quite beautiful and intricate hand-carved… What? ☺

Amiable? The star of “Double Indemnity?” He was only amiable in his TV show. He made his name in Hollywood playing crooks and jerks.

So democrats and leftists are rioting all over the country and it’s TRUMP’S fault? You guys really need an old fashioned reality check.

These are old strips. Not current. But scary how current they are.
