They Ate the President: Washington D.C. Was Just the Appetizer!

The documents on the desk say TREATY and ORDERS, which is either very efficient administration or a very specific menu. The alien at the desk is wearing a suit because the transition of power required appropriate attire. The advisors in the background are implementing a response that the briefing did not cover. The Capitol is still visible through the window, which means Washington D.C. is still operational, which means it is — as the tagline confirms — the appetizer. The They Ate the President T-shirt is a vivid, EC Comics-gorgeous tribute to the political alien invasion satire tradition — the subgenre that understood the White House as the alien film’s most dramatically productive institutional target, the Oval Office as the genre’s correct staging area for the replacement of the executive branch, and Washington D.C. as a first course that implies a considerably larger meal to follow.

Political Alien Satire, EC Comics Government Invasion & Washington Appetizer Exploitation Aesthetic

This design draws from the tradition of the political alien invasion film — the subgenre that consistently understood the government, and specifically the executive branch, as the alien film’s most interesting institutional target. From the paranoid Washington of 50s Cold War sci-fi through the Mars Attacks! tradition of political satire as alien invasion comedy, the genre has always known that the most interesting version of the alien arrival is the one where the aliens sit at the presidential desk and start signing the documents. The EC Comics illustration style — the suits, the fleeing advisors, the alien’s giant eyes and teeth, the Capitol through the window, the platillos volantes outside — gives the design the quality of the best 50s political satire comics, where the alien invasion was always also a commentary on who was running the country and what a replacement would look like.

If You Love These Films, You’ll Love This Design:

• Mars Attacks! (1996, Tim Burton) — the political alien invasion satire at its most committed and most visually accomplished
• They Live (1988, John Carpenter) — the alien infiltration of the political class as the film’s central satire
• The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951, Wise) — the alien visit to Washington as the genre’s founding political confrontation
• Earth vs. the Flying Saucers (1956) — the alien invasion and the government’s response as the genre’s primary narrative structure
• Independence Day (1996, Emmerich) — the White House as the alien film’s most satisfying institutional target
• Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978, Kaufman) — the replacement of the political class as the genre’s central paranoid concept
• Men in Black (1997, Sonnenfeld) — the alien in the government as the most domestic version of the political alien satire

Original Cult 77 Identity

Cult 77 creates original artwork for those who understand that the alien political satire was always the alien invasion film’s most honest and most entertaining variant — the one that asked the most interesting question about what the replacement of the executive branch would actually produce in terms of policy outcomes, treaty signing, and general administrative efficiency. Washington D.C. was just the appetizer. The documents are being signed. The advisors are leaving. The alien is wearing the correct suit. This isn’t just a shirt; it’s the EC Comics political satire that the 50s alien invasion genre was always building toward — the one where the alien at the desk is the most competent administrator the Oval Office has seen, based strictly on the evidence of the documents being processed.
