I just visited your Presidential gallery. I am seriously impressed with how economically you capture each President’s character. I’d fill out the faces or Lincoln and Ike a tad and do a lip-o-suction on Carter’s lips.
Also, if you’re looking for some more sound bites, that string of nobodies before Lincoln did nothing to stop Indian genocide in California. I’ve seen Fillmore slammed most for it but they all could take blame. In most cases “Indian genocide” is a synonym for “losing the war,” but in California it was flat-out ethnic cleansing, and all done by civilians, too. Especially sad since the California tribes were almost entirely peaceful.
Buchanan is rumored to have been our most openly gay president. I wouldn’t make that the focus of a float in your local Gay Pride parade.
If you’ve ever seen the political cartoons of Jimmy Carter drawn during his presidency – Brian’s depiction with the full lips is spot-on (he’s actually KINDER about the size). Yes, it IS difficult to mention Lincoln’s anti-indigenous atrocities due to his fame – and I have to admit, I’m a little squicky about the Chief Amalgam character. I understand how it refers to the US policy of lumping all natives together (as explained by you in the character description), but as comment to the policy has been established, it would be nice to see an actual native person depicted. However, I am head-over-heels for your Teddy Roosevelt depiction, and loving the incredible Jekyll/Hyde depiction of Ozy-Truman-dias.

At least George KNEW when he was “Playing a part” and “Lying”, unlike the current occupant of the White House, who thinks of it as a way of life!
