The Candid Conservative’s Caricature Contest

Posted on by Michael Muller

Remember Carl Mumpower, everyone’s favorite conservative? Well, the former Asheville City Councilman is having a contest and you could win cash money. Not a lot, mind you — probably just enough to buy yourself a fake Green Card and dinner at Mamacitas — but still, in this economy, money is money. You see, Carl has just completed a book on “reviving the real conservative mission in America” and he’s looking for your help in providing him a caricature before the book goes to press. We all know that Carl is a master of self promotion, and since he isn’t above using his clever Jedi mind tricks to fool unsuspecting media outlets (like the Mountain Xpress) into pimping out his latest project, we’re only too happy to oblige. Besides, it’s a slow news day.

Anyway, First prize is $200, Second Prize is $6, and Third Prize is 11 cents (that’s taken from 2-6-11, Ronald Reagan’s birthday). All the submissions will be included in his upcoming book and the deadline is August 27.  For more information, contact Carl by e-mail at drmumpower@aol.com or for picture ideas, visit The Candid Conservative.

Here are some old cartoons from Molton, so you can get a look at his style:

Thanks for reading through to the end…

We share your inclination to get the whole story. For the past 25 years, Xpress has been committed to in-depth, balanced reporting about the greater Asheville area. We want everyone to have access to our stories. That’s a big part of why we've never charged for the paper or put up a paywall.

We’re pretty sure that you know journalism faces big challenges these days. Advertising no longer pays the whole cost. Media outlets around the country are asking their readers to chip in. Xpress needs help, too. We hope you’ll consider signing up to be a member of Xpress. For as little as $5 a month — the cost of a craft beer or kombucha — you can help keep local journalism strong. It only takes a moment.

Before you comment

The comments section is here to provide a platform for civil dialogue on the issues we face together as a local community. Xpress is committed to offering this platform for all voices, but when the tone of the discussion gets nasty or strays off topic, we believe many people choose not to participate. Xpress editors are determined to moderate comments to ensure a constructive interchange is maintained. All comments judged not to be in keeping with the spirit of civil discourse will be removed and repeat violators will be banned. See here for our terms of service. Thank you for being part of this effort to promote respectful discussion.

  2. Piffy!

    So, by ‘real’ conservative he means neo-conservative, christian fanatic, big-business subsidizing?

    Are there any actually real conservatives left? Or is it really just the dregs from the christian right and the midwest industrial farming lobby?

    Can I skip the fake green card (my citizenship being fairly solid) and get a dinner upgrade to Chorizo instead??
