"GUBERNATORIAL WHISKER WARS"

6/20/12 The News-Dispatch & 6/19/12 The Herald-Argus

Democratic candidate for Governor John Gregg has struck upon an excellent campaign gimmick, his self-described "Pringles Man" moustache, to solidify his brand with Hoosier voters in a race against GOP candidate Mike Pence.

There is a strange show on cable called "Whisker Wars" in which competitors grow weird facial hair in what is dubbed "freestyle" and "competitive bearding." An actual moustache of one contestant inspired this cartoon about hypothetical one-upsmanship.
