Snoopy For President Tee - Vintage Black

TSPTR continues to reign as kings of the graphic tee with a new collection centred around Peanuts characters and the music scene in LA during the 60s and 70s.

Reproduction of a classic Determined Productions Peanuts print from the 1968 Presidential elections

As the 1968 election race heated up, Charles Schulz turned his daily comic strips in a politically charged direction. In a 14-day series, Schulz had Snoopy carrying his own sign for “Paw Power”, a direct play on the Black Power ideology of that same period. The message was not wasted; Peanuts fans and counterculture activists across America soon adopted a widespread ‘Snoopy for President’ campaign. Schulz even drew and released a Peanuts Presidential Election poster book, complete with all of the characters and their respective platforms for the election.

Snoopy was embraced by actual voters as a write-in candidate in California, such was the success of the campaign. New legislation had to be quickly introduced to make it illegal to enter the name of a fictional character on the ballot.
