'Snoopy For President' Gallery

Old 'Peanuts' premiums offer a candidate with real electability!

Campaign season always brings me down. Rather than choosing the lesser of evils, just once I'd like to be presented with a candidate I can really support. Just once I'd like a candidate who embodies the ideals of... Snoopy?

Over at Fanboy.com, Michael Pinto directs readers' attention to the old Peanuts premiums issued decades ago as incentives to purchase certain brands of bread and other products. Several of the premiums feature Snoopy in full campaign mode, trumpeting the famous beagle's  candidacy and providing illustrated proof that he is "loyal," "fearless" and "prepared."

Now if only we could get a real candidate who has all those qualities, right?

For the full gallery of premiums, check out Dan Goodsell's blog, sampler of things.
