I remember a Wacky Packs stricker for "Wormy Packers". Man, these used to crack us up back in Fishkill Elementary.

I was going to frame it but then you wouldn't be able to see the poster size one on the back.

I used to draw my own when I was like 6. I still think it inspires my artwork today. So makes sense I should order a sheet, yes? Well, no. No Shipee to Canadee. Bastards! -Slacks

More useless trivia: One of the artists who created Wacky Packages was Art Spiegelman, who later won a Pulitzer prize for "Maus."

GREAT! I really loved them and Mad magazine too. My parents brought us to the Mad magazine headquarters in NY in the early 70's. We got the grand tour with Bill Gaines and the mad crew. They were so delighted that parents would bring their kids to them!!! Was a very cool experience. :D http://www.comic-art.com/bios-1/gaines01.htm

My neighborhood friends and I collected and traded them. We were so obsessed, we even knew when a new series would be arriving at the local drug store. I'm almost ashamed to admit that I would spend weeks worth of allowances to buy a new sealed box of the packs. A couple of weeks ago I was going through some old boxes in our storage area and actually found my old Wacky Packages collection. For some odd reason I still like to look at those things.... ModMana :drink:

Amazing that his art has varied from something as silly (but still brilliant IMHO) as the Wacky Packages to something as sobering (yet still life-affirming) as MAUS. Well, maybe not amazing. I mean, artists are allowed to have extremes. Are we not? -Slacks
