I'm pretty sure I've seen something similar with Clinton and Bob Dole. It's actually really creative and made some people believe that the newspaper can predict the future, when in reality, half of those people thought that they predicted incorrectly when it was apparent that Clinton got elected.

Pretty sure that I first found out about this through a Vsauce video.
