Iconic Impeach Nixon rebus ("Im + [peach] N+[ick] + [sun]") issued by the activist/artist collective Zephyrus Image run by Michael Myers and Holbrook Teter. The rebus also made a popular bumpersticker. Activist Eileen Callahan described handing out the rebus all over the Senate Office Building in Washington, DC, "I gave one to Hubert Humphrey, and, to his credit, he stopped and read it. After a few seconds, his face registered what could only be called 'extreme mirth" (Zephyrus Image, p. 54).
