Republican Party Side Tear Checks

The Sign of the Elephant

Did you know that the cartoonist who popularized the elephant as a symbol of the GOP is the same illustrator who is recognized for depicting the first fat Santa?

It's true. His name was Thomas Nast, and he was a renowned political cartoonist who lived from 1857-1916. In early America, St. Nick was typically shown as a tall thin guy; Nast fattened him up and other illustrators of the time followed suit.

Then, on November 7, 1874, Harper's Weekly ran a Nast cartoon that debuted his Republican elephant, which has been hard at work representing conservatives ever since!
