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.

Nixon '84: He's earned a fifth term.

We like the suggestion by some much more clever and rich than us that if things would have lined up in a certain way, Richard Nixon could have gotten a certain pesky amendment removed from the constitution and won re-election in 1976, 1980 and again in 1984.

So we’ve designed a Whiggy Tease line around the idea. Shop until you drop.

As always with Whiggy Tease, the subtlety is the difference. In the Nixon ’84 logo, he’s not flashing his traditional V for Victory sign. Instead, he’s holding up a total of five fingers, to promote his quest for an unprecedented fifth term.

The Winston Churchill Comeback Tour

In honor of The British Open, or what we guess is now being called The Open , Whiggy Tease is proud to announce we’re pandering to our British fans by announcing the first product in our Winston Churchill line.

Before we get to that – did you notice The Open is now using the Obama Font? It’s as if everyone has the Obama Font except us at Whiggy Tease.

Anyway, it may come as a shock to those who are not students of history, but after helping lead the Allies to victory in World War II, Churchill was rewarded by being booted from office.

However, voters came to their senses and returned him to Number 10 Downing Street in 1951.

Here’s what we like about Churchill’s campaign in 1951. His initial campaign swag featured no words. It didn’t have clutter like “Return Churchill” or “Tories 1951” or “Don’t Call it a Comeback.” Instead, it featured a simple blue silhouette of Churchill. That’s all he needed. One of the most quotable men of his century didn’t need any words to get his point across.

We’ve reproduced the logo for shirts for the fellas…

Shirts for the ladies…

And for Tom Watson…

We here at Whiggy Tease are not giving up. We will never give up. We know you’ll shop in our new Churchill store. Come back soon for more swag.
