Globe and Mail Project: #16, TRICKY DICK REACHES FOR OLYMPIC GOLD IN VANCOUVER


(click on image to view larger version)
What happens when a disgraced US ex-president
rises from the ashes to clear his name, then chases
his dream of Olympic gold as captain of the Canadian bobsled team?

Dan Ackroyd IS Richard Nixon in CBC's rollicking new
mini-series, "DICKSLEDDING: VANCOUVER 2010".

-The Globe and Mail


This week's Illustration Friday topic is Renewal. In the 16th collage of my Globe and Mail Project, impeached and deceased President Richard Nixon gets a chance to clean up his besmirched image and rewrite his entry in the history books.


The Globe and Mail Project will continue Monday to Saturday for the length of my free Globe and Mail subscription. Each collage is made up of images from that day's newspaper. The supplementary text is courtesy of my Olivetti portable typewriter.

Mr. Hunt this is an intoxicating "what if"!

We can only hope, Caesar. Not out of the realm of possibility for the CBC, though.
