Buttons - Federal Campaign - 1988
Jolene Working for You
For U.S. Congress, Democrat
Jolene Unsoeld served as the Congressperson for Washington State's 3rd District 1989-1995. Every now and then our paths cross at the grocery store, like last week, and I enjoy hearing her take on the political scene.
Don't know what the deal is with those brown spots. I am sure I picked this button up when it was new and pristine.

Buttons - Federal Campaign - 1960s
Hughes for Congress Republican
File Your Protest
OK, OK, I know this isn't a button. It's a nail file with a pun, but I am going to include it anyway. I picked this up at a booth at the Southwest Washington Fair in Washington State's 3rd Congressional District some time in the 1960s.

Buttons - Presidential Campaign - 1992
Clinton Gore '92
On the curl: G.H. Stamp Works, Aberdeen, Wash.
Notice the union label is part of the display.
In 1992 I saw something I have never seen in a presidential election before or since. In McCleary, a town with a healthy chunk of 1938-1940 immigrants from Arkansas (I live in a part of town known as Arkie Hill), there were home-made signs for Clinton in front yards. In fact as I recall, in our town, George Herbert Walker Bush, the Republican incumbent, placed third behind Clinton and Perot in 1992.
Joe Kubert, 1926-2012
Goodbye Joe.
Such an amazing artist and one of the greats in the world of comic art. I don't have a lot of valuable material possessions, but I do treasure my Kubert original. I have owned this page from Brave and Bold # 43 (1962) for over 4 decades and never get tired of looking at it. I have learned so much about cartooning just from looking at this single sheet, which Joe probably cranked out in a very short time.
