Don't blame us, we voted for Pigasus.

Most Americans in 1968 thought they had two choices for President in 1968. There was Richard Nixon, and you knew he would eventually be trouble. Hubert H. Humphrey was the other option – but would he really be any better than Lyndon Johnson?

There was a third option. An option that most people have forgotten about. Pigasus – the nominee of the Young International Party (the Yippies).

Jerry Rubin, Abbie Hoffman and others announced the nomination of Pigasus during the protests at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago. Needless to say, the police were not amused.



Pigasus was arrested. We swear to you this is true. Whether or not Pigasus was granted his one phone call is not clear to us at this time, but we’ll get back to you.

Celebrate the Pigasus ’68 campaign with these exciting items from Whiggy Tease.



Get your credit cards ready. We’re sure you’ll squeal with delight when your items from the Pigasus ’68 store arrive in your mailbox.

Thanks to Eric in Toledo for another genius idea.
