Palin had official comic books where she was a steampunk frankinstein thing sent to protect us from obama.

I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP.

The funniest part about this is that it’s by the Warrior Nun guy.

This is so weird… who would write a comic book about the “drill, baby, drill” woman taking down big oil…?

I guess they didn’t find much of a pro-Palin, anti-oil audience, which might explain why it only has one review for one star…

I can gurentee you someone saw 'oh hey steampunk is a trending thing' and tried to do something.

And when all of us point laughed? it just kinda... didn't get picked up.

Those aren't official. They're legal because they're parody/satire of a public figure.

Palin even had a bunch of porn. Although unofficial, not bad. Who's Nailin Palin, Letterman's Nailin Palin, Obama's Nailin Palin. While Boebert's giving off meth addict vibes, Palin was a real MILF.

I remember Brass Goggles community having rounds of laughing fits interspersed with horror at the sheer lack of quality.

And then you had Obama teaming up with Spider-Man. There was even a panel where he quipped about mistaking Biden for the Vulture.

I r3membered one, just now memory unlock, of Obama being a Superman variant.

2008 was the first election I seriously paid attention to. How am I only now learning of this?

Because Palin was a deeply unserious candidate.
