This is an image of Wonder Warthog (Hog of Steel) created by Gilbert Shelton and Tony Bell in response to Lyndon Baines Johnson's reaction to the 1066 Peter Hurd presidential portrait. Johnson didn't like the portrait painted by Hurd (a renowned portraitist) and said, "That's the ugliest thing on earth." So, Gilbert and Tony created the Second Ugliest Thing on Earth. This is part of SouthPop's permanent colleciton.
