| The Deck Published in 1963 by Humor House, Inc., the court cards in this deck are portrayed by various members of the Kennedy family and their friends. Due to the tragic ending to John F. and Bobby Kennedy's lives, you rarely see political caricatures of them like these. Seeing them given a light-hearted treatment like this harkens back to what, from today's perspective, seems to be a simpler, more innocent time in the world's past. The deck contains an extra card which, in light of events to follow, rings rather sadly:
| The Cards on Display The First Lady, Jacqueline Kennedy. The Jack of Clubs  Vice President Lyndon Baines Johnson The King of Diamonds  Bobby Kennedy, the Attorney General. The Ace of Spades  John F. Kennedy himself. Looks surprisingly like present-day caricatures of Bill Clinton... The Joker  The Democratic donkey. The Card Back  The whole clan (note actor Peter Lawford on the right).
