The artwork for Trader Joe’s is done in-house by local artists, which is how the one-of-a-kind Presidential Avengers pictured above came to be. This display was spotted at a TJ’s in San Rafael, CA, by Megan Lee of Unicornucopia. The artist responsible for this triumph of savings is Jesse Draper, who is a photographer, illustrator, and portrait artist when not making grocery trips more entertaining.
The only thing missing from this soaring demonstration of patriotism is Thomas Jefferson as Hawkeye, Betsy Ross as Black Widow (so sexy), and — most importantly — William Howard Taft as Spider-Man. He wasn’t in the movie or in this display because he was stuck in a bathtub, you see.

Ah yes… Benjamin Franklin and Uncle Sam, our two greatest presidents.
I was originally going to call it presidents and other patriotic figures, but it was too fucking wordy.
So’s your face.
I’m sorry, that was uncalled for.
It’s a goddamn tragedy that the constitution never directly addressed superheroes.
Teddy should’ve been the Hulk.
I agree, I would have made more sense to make Franklin Thor.
Kite, Key, Lightning.
