Vice Presidential Running Mate

Thanks to the Cartoon Liberation And Sufferance Society (CLASS) for holding a popular vote to select a Vice Presidential running mate for Snagglepuss.  The polls have closed, and the votes have been counted.  And the winner is....

Road Runner The Running Mate

And how will the lanky lion hold forth on this fourth of July?

Oh Mr. Runner!  Mind if I call you Roady?  Hmmmm? 

Your campaign slogan was witty and humorous and uproarious even. Imagine being selected to run for Vice President with a speech no longer than this..."Veep, Veep."  I am sure we can find something else in the administration for Krazy Kat to do.  Welcome, Roady.  I am sure we will have a good run.  I will go don my jogging togs.

GIR Sings a Song

Yay Snagglepuss for President!  Woohooo!

And what response from the feline friend of freedom and frolic?


Gir, you are an alien.  An alien!  You seem to have clear grasp on Cthulhu who has been on this planet a good deal longer than most of us.  He spells doom, destruction, annihilation even.  I think a President should be kinder and gentler than that.  Can't we all just get along?  Gir, please come and join me for a friendship tea.

IMF Director Backs Snagglepuss

...Personally, I am supportive of your candidates' campaign positions... I have indicated my support to Ms. Legarde...a Snagglepuss adnministration would benefit IMF policies and ... ideals.

Yours,
Gregory Runcic,
Director Asian Affairs,
IMF

Taken from an email to the Snagglepuss campaign.

And how does our Leo Like this Sagittarius?

Gregory...what happened to the other guy?  If 'twere me on the receiving end of this commupance, I know what I would say to my assailant.  "If it were not I were to the manor born, I would reciprocate in kind."  What do you think of that?  What do you think of that?  

IMF policies are the best monetary policies on the face of the planet. Under a Snagglepuss Presidency I would direct all agency heads to give full cooperation to the IMF.  My heads of security (B & B) would also see to it that you were not treated so harshly, Mr. Runcic when you visited our shores.  One thing I know, I can count on, I am sure of even...when I see your assailant in a dark alley, I will

Just recognize that I can't provide technical support to a bunch of people, so if their machine has problems with the application they'll probably be out of luck."

Oh STV!  That's the station that sent along that new book.  How to be a TV Actor.  Very kind.  Very kind indeed.  They also did an interview between me and that Steve Martin comedian guy.  Check it out. Check it out already.  I'm going to go see what is new on STV

Roadrunner says:

Veep Veep!

And how does the Feline Frontrunner react?

So, Roadrunner, you want to be my running-mate, my partner, my vice president even?  

Not so fast.  Not so fast.  

I said it before, and I'll say it again, this is a democracy, let the voters decide.  

O.K. voters, log your votes.  Who should be my running mate in this campaign, hmmmm?  So far we have Krazy Kat and RoadRunner offering to share the ticket with me, Snagglepuss.  Anybody else?

We will publish the votes, the preferences, the polls even.

Another Message from the land of the Rising Sun

Superman Ultra says

When I visit Earth's atmosphere, I am only able to stay for three minutes before flying off again.

That is usually the amount of time it takes me to fight with and destroy multitudes of menacing mammoth monsters.

Multi-tasking is usually not an obstacle, but being the Japan coordinator for Snaggy's campaign is really making things busy.

Snags, your numbers have improved in Japan, the home of the rising anime characters! 

It looks like Noda is trying to raise taxes, and...

Shwwaaaaaaach!

And how does the pride of lion's respond to this?

Heaven's to Betsy!  Hello to all my Japanese friends, acquaintances, Sumo wrestlers even.  'Tis a unique and singular exit line that Superman Ultra has developed.  Everyone should have one, like...

I'd love to pose for a caricature, a likeness, a portrait even, but the campaign calls.  Gotta go.

Krazy Kat for Vice President

A Message from Krazy Kat herself...


My Dearest Dahlink Snagglypuss, my friends in Coconino County have presuaded me to throw my het in the rink as a candadate fer vice prisidint. Even my Ignatz says he can see no one more preparated to be a veep than me.


My strenths are minny.


I am a female ket, and that is shoridly a plus for anyone trying to get the votes of pipples of the like perswishen.


I am a klean ket. There is no dirt to be scraped on me accepting the dirt of the mesa on my kettish paws.


I am a ket of the pipples and a friend to all, from Kentuckil to Konnectiket. Whether they be dogs or ducks, ket-birds or ket-fish. I am even an acquintiance of the stork that carries the newbirthed babe into the awaiting arms of its lovink motha. And you know that ease of excess to so many newish babes will let you to be kissin their soft shiny brows.


And concludatory, I am a ket, like you. A komic ket. A kartoon ket. A ket who can make a difference in the upcoming electories.

And how does "Snagglypuss" respond?

Well marbles and marmelade, a crazy cartoon cat wants in on the ticket. This is supposed to be a Free Country, a Republic, a Democracy even! -- Let's hear from the public on this one! Instead o' just pickin' my runnin' mate for political reasons (like those other guys--when they get around to it) let's find out what most people-- the bigger portion--the majority even--think about Krazy Kat as a running mate. You can vote her up or down on this blog, and we will tabulate--figure the votes--and count even.

Japan's Super Hero Speaks

This just in from Superman Ultra:
Once former US President William Clinton endorsed Snagglepuss it came to the attention of Prime Minister Noda and his cabinet. Naturally, as the P.M.'s foremost super-hero bodyguard, it was brought to me at quicker than lightning speed. I have now informed all the top dogs in Japanese ANIME about the situation. And of course, we are now all behind Snaggles!

And what did the candidate have to say?

I just love having Japanese supporters, super hero supporters, athletic supporters even.  My next campaign stop is to put the mane in Maine politics.  I want a good showing in the ballot box, in the election, in the caucus even.  


Forsooth and wherefore, you may not be able to get there from here, but heavens to Murgatroyd you can party anywhere.  Oh the campaign bus is heading north,

Snagglepuss is running for the office of the 

President of the United States 

in the 2012 election.  

What with the end of the world predicted by the Mayan long-count calendar to occur well before the inauguration, why not?


The main Snagglepuss campaign slogan is:

Party 'til the End!!

Recently, there has been a great deal of interest in the campaign by others in the toon universe.  Roadrunner, for example, shares this comment "Meep meep."


Well exactly!  Now if you have something you would like to share about this campaign, please write to the Snagglepuss For President (SFP) campaign manager, Steve Martin.  He will post your comments on this blog so that other visitors can follow your thinking.  Where appropriate, Steve will prevail upon our candidate to take time off from "shaking hands and kissing babes"...

(Snagglepuss' recent Fun Fundraiser originally covered by Nigel Barf --Saturday February 11 post).
