Election day has finally come, so let's celebrate the occasion by looking at a couple of Hanna-Barbera election-themed pins. Here are several that were released in 1964, pitting Yogi Bear and Huckleberry Hound against Magilla Gorilla and Droopy. I don't know about you guys, but Yogi's got my vote!
Here are two Jetsons pins released in the early eighties. Both George Jetson and Astro are shown running for president. I take it Lectronimo and Elroy are their vice presidential candidates.
Finally, we have one pin the studio commissioned just in time for the 1988 election. This one features Fred Flintstone running for president, and that's about it. From what I could find, there weren't any other pins made for this particular election. Does that mean Fred wins by default?
A darn shame about Deputy Droop-a-Long's mislabeled campaign buttons--Possible sabotage by Ricochet Rabbit for one too many pots of terrible coffee?
