An Appeal to Heaven Flag Fun

One of the Early Flags of the
American Revolution in 1776


This flag was used in the early part of the revolution by continental forces at large. Generally it represented the Northern States.








A Keebler Elf Version of the Pine Tree Flag
US Revolution meets cookies

This flag is a mash up of the US Appeal to Heaven Pine Tree flag with the Keebler Cookie Elf Tree - so familiar to people who grew up on television. Although not a pine tree per say - but hey, isn't it funny? And no, the Keebler Company does not give me money nor do I have any relations business or familial.


The Giving Tree fused with the
US Patriotic Appeal to Heaven Flag

The Giving Tree was a children's book written by Shel Silverstein in 1964. It is a touching story about giving and what it means to love. Another non-pine tree sitting in, but this is one of the most famous trees in the childhood universe. Makes you wonder will there be anymore famous trees coming up? Hopefully it'll be pine, maybe in the next 20 years. I think we are due.



The Lego Version of the
Pine Tree-Appeal to Heaven Flag


Here Legos pose as the Pine Tree US Revolution flag. So appropriate and matches very well.

1965

This little poor Christmas Tree chosen by Charlie Brown back in 1965 has echoed across the imagination of American Youth. The word 'Heaven' has been switched with Linuses' favorite word when things go awry, 'Good Grief!'

Legos are toys for the youth or adult? Here they are used to remake the American Revolutionary 'Appeal to Heaven Flag.'

I wonder why this flag does not have mas much popularity as the Gadsden Flag? Perhaps in balance to Tea Party Folk - Occupy Wall Street Folk could use this flag?

Coily the Snake Don't Hop on Me - Gadsden Flag Gone Mad!

The Coilysden Flag

Gadsden Flag Fun

The Gadsden Flag is a popular flag of protest. In contrast to the red, white, and American blue or even the Confederate flag, it is a stark contrast with a yellow background and a snake. Here is a list of some pop-art mashups with the Gadsden Flag. It reminds me of the Chinese Emperor's flag but instead of a Dragon we have a snake. And in some mythologies snakes are often thought of as 'little' dragons.

Harry Potter Gadsden Flag - House of Slytherin

House of Slytherin Gadsden Flag
The house of Slytherin is one of the four divisions at Hogwarts. Its emblem is a snake. Thus it makes a good fit for a Gadsden Hogwart's Flag.

This flag is based upon the Gadsden Rattle Snake flag but with arms of Slytherin and 'TREAD' is changed to 'CAST A SPELL.'
