in 2001 … The Four Pigmen and Same Crap, Different Day
Posted: December 31, 2013 in Famous People, Full ColorTags: George W. Bush, Jeff Gore, JP Rankin, Laura Bush, Miss Kitty, Rick McCumber, Sky Shivers, Ted Nugent, The Four Pigmen
… and from 2001
This was a fun year and was also the year that Sam (wife) and I got invited the “The Texas Inaugural” in Crawford, Texas and had the opportunity to meet President George W. Bush and First Lady Laura Bush … also got to meet Ted Nugent that evening as well …
So a bunch of us put together a basket of items and presented them to President Bush that evening … this was the cartoon that The Cartoon Cowboy gave to him … probably all boxed up in a warehouse somewhere? Like you see in the movies.
This was also the year that produced “GOAT RIDERS in the SKY”, but you may not be aware of it’s counterpart …
“THE FOUR PIGMEN of the APOCALYPSE” … a cartoon also inspired by Cowboy Artist, Rick McCumber …
… appearing in “THE FOUR PIGMEN”, left to right …
1. JP Rankin “The Cartoon Cowboy”
2. The Rick McCumber
3. Sky Shivers appearing with “Miss Kitty”
4. Jeff Gore
On a side note this is the same cartoon that was stolen by “Bill Miller’s BBQ in San Antonio” and used on a t-shirt.
They had some hack of an artist render their version of the “FOUR PIGMEN” and then put it in a t-shirt.
Needless to say – Bill Miller’s never returned my phone calls.
