JFK v Nixon, 1960

All this presidential debate stuff got me wondering about previous debates that I wasn't alive to see. Turns out the first televised debate took place in 1960, between JFK and Nixon. I have to say, it sounded very similar to the debates I've been hearing lately, except now we talk about the war in Afghanistan and Iraq instead of the Cold War and the "Kremlin". Also, I found it interesting that they were discussing government subsidies of farmers. Guess that's been going on for a long time.

Anyway, I thought it was funny how JFK looks pretty wall-eyed in the video. Sketched this out as I watched, called it done when it ended.
