Hilarious Caricatures of the Candidates

With a Psyco-physical Accessment of Maybe Obvious Thingys

Late last night I had a visit from one of my best friends Gimplethorp, an alien from the planet Zygor in the Alpha Centurian system. We go way back.

Anyway, he was here for the political caucuses, because from where he comes from, the sentient life-forms regard them as some of the best entertainment in the galaxy if you are into ridiculous humanoids. To them it's sort of like watching demented ducks waddling around squawking at each other. Well, that's the analogy he used.

When I asked him what he found so funny, he offered to lend me his "Truth in Vision" goggles, which employ an advanced technology that enables the wearer to see things as they really are by filtering out effects of things like stage-make up, phony mannerisms and disingenuous acting as well as the preconceived notions of the viewer.

It was an eye-opening and somewhat shocking experience. I began comprehend the true inner nature of the candidates. I also viewed their likenesses as the Zygorians perceive them. So, I felt duty-bound as an artist and latent-scientific researcher to record my perceptions for posterity and history's sake.

Amazingly, one of the candidates, whose spouse formerly held office, has taken on a significant portion of his internal essence, and if elected will have the governing effect of not one, but two "co-presidents". The Zygorians refer to her as "HillBillary" partly in a reference to something about Arkansas and partly the dual personalities. (They always smirk when they say that.)

Another incredible candidate is apparently exceedingly "hip" despite having entered politics as a profession. His internal composition resembles that of a hip-hopster. Gimplethorp informs me that, if elected, he could be considered the first not-entirely-black and not-entirely-white, either, guy in the oval office. I don't know what that means. Zygorians call him "Yo, Bama"
