Stephen Colbert recently announced that he’s running for President. This won’t be the first time the comedian has run for office, so maybe this time around, he should examine the campaigns of joke candidates before him. Here are 10 cartoon and comic strip characters who ran for Commander in Chief, some of whom actually won (in their respective universes):
Cobra Commander
Don’t let him anywhere near your baby.
Alvin from Alvin and The Chipmunks
I’d prefer President Alvin to Obnoxious Movie Rodent Alvin.
Bill the Cat
Daffy Duck
Somebody hit someone with a mallet!
Snoopy
Stephen Colbert can draw Snoopy. Running mates? [via, 2]
Lex Luther
Damn you, laws.
Howard the Duck
Next to humans, ducks are the most likely species to run for President. [via]
Alfred E. Neuman
He’d keep a cool head under pressure, what with all the worrying he doesn’t do. [via, 2]
Barbie
Attractive girls can do anything men can do. [via, 2]
Kang
I still blame Homer.
