1. John McCain looks like he came out of the 1940s. Nice bow tie there.

6. I'm on their mailing list for free weekly clip-art, and they announced this to the list
Most of Dover's books are copyright-free, or royalty-free, which I like :)

:P

And on looking at McCain's doll, HIS hands aren't pale enough. The man's a damn ghost.

They have the hunched up, stiff shoulders of McCain done just right - along with that awkward, "I just joked about my wife being a stripper in front of a bunch of bikers" McCain stare. nice.

10. The Obama doll looks like Liberace
The McCain doll looks like he's wearing a suit that's on a coat hanger.

Neither of them seem very flattering.

11. Perfect likeness of McCain...
Both the paper doll and the actual candidate look stiff as boards.

17. Seriously
McCain looks like he's pinned to a board for drying after being skinned and stuffed. :P

12. I thought Cindy was McCain's paper doll.


Thin and flimsy with no substance.

14. Tom Tierney (the designer) is the paper doll king.
And I mean that as no joke. He's done great paper dolls for Dover over the years, including paper dolls of other presidents. I'll bet you anything he had way more fun doing the Obama dolls than the McCain dolls (which make him look just like the frumpy dated guy he is).

One of my sisters has a set of Tierney paper dolls stashed away that he did for another company--they're a little more off the wall. Sort of a "gay men's subculture" paper doll set. Leather boys and that kind of thing. Very unusual, and also very well done!
