Description

RANDALL FLAGG BUTTON SET
How’s Your Pork? (with Pig in Cop Hat), Yellow Smiling Face & Peace Sign
A set of three 1.25" (
3.175 cm)
buttons based on the description of Randall Flagg, the antagonist of Stephen King’s massive apocalyptic novel “The Stand” who would appear in other King novels under various names.
Flagg is the Dark Man, Walter O’Dim, The Man in Black, the Walking Dude: a man in the shadows, with a grin that burns. In “The Stand” he is a force for evil, commonly described as wearing a denim jacket adorned with various totemic buttons. He calls the wicked who have escaped the Captain Trips pandemic to Las Vegas, where he creates a new empire and lusts to expand it over the earth.
In this set, we have a peace sign button (most often attributed to Flagg based on a painting by Michael Whelan), a smiling yellow face button with an appealingly hand-drawn look, and straight from the novel, “a pig wearing a policeman's cap. The legend was written beneath in red letters which dripped to simulate blood: HOW'S YOUR PORK?”
Stephen King initially attributed Donald DeFreeze, the lead kidnapper in the Patty Hearst case, as his inspiration for Randall Flagg. He later attributed Flagg's creation to an image of a man in cowboy boots, denim jeans and jacket always walking the roads that "came out of nowhere" when he was still in college.
Wear these buttons while telling Bobby Terry that he scrooowed it up, while spinning a roulette wheel, or while debating the status of Cuba. Not recommended for wear during face-to-face interactions with members of the constabulary.
