Protestor # 8 (illustrated by Max Rugers)

Prez Rickard was an incredibly popular president and when his second term was nearing its end, many supporters began protesting the fact that Prez would soon be leaving office. These protestors proposed that the law be changed to permit Prez to run a third term.

This man is one of the people protesting in front of the White House.

He appears in Sandman # 54, on page 16 in panel 1.

This character looks incredibly happy and is a contrast to a lot of Max’s portraits, which are generally darker and more serious. I like this man’s expression and his sheer joy. I also like that Max chose to include hints of this man’s protest sign in the background. The blues really highlight the character and make him stand out.
