"OK, everybody, put your markers down. Let's see what you created. We'll start with 1968."
"Well, I thought it would be neat to have a painting within an illustration. Here the artist is painting the new manager, expressing the enthusiasm everybody felt for him. I tried to get across a feel for the process and convey the message of the moment."
"Very nice, 1968. So much thought and work went into that."
"Thank you. I wanted to live up to what everybody before me did."

"You definitely did. Now let's hear from 1976...1976, you were supposed to be done by now."
"Uh, one second...done."
"So what do you have there?"
"Um, this is the team mascot, except his hat is different because of the Bicentennial. And you've got the flag, sort of..."
"That's clever. Say, did you just trace that picture and then color in the hat?"
"What? Uh, no. I mean, I dunno. Oh, and there's a logo over here in the bottom left corner. And the ZIP Code!"

This poll is currently tied!

Anyone want to cast a tie-breaking vote? Or reconsider a vote that's already been cast?

[Guest d'Kong76]

I haven't voted yet, toughie.

[Guest d'Kong76]

I forgot to vote, but it's just as well because I would have bicen-tied it
up. Gonna ride Gil now into the promised land.
