Here's another Wacky Page painting which is now available in stores - Dribbles 'n Spits:

Hilarious!
and your art blends seamlessly into the fine tradition of these American Classics!
they still crack me up!

So these are the same (But New Set) "Wacky Packages" from the 1960s I got as a kid?

Thanks so much, Ken! I always appreciate your feedback and DIG your awesome work!

Hey Atomic Tiki Punk- Yes, they are from the new series 9 which is manufactured by Topps, the same company which produced them back in the 60's and 70's.

I love the Wacky Packages paintings. I still have some of the old ones in a drawer somewhere. It's great that you got to be a part of an art phenomenon loved by kids everywhere.

Thanks so much, Tabu! I appreciate that. I'm still stoked to be able to be involved with Wacky Packages!

I've got a vintage skate case that I bought at a garage sale many years ago and its got several Wacky stickers on it. I'll post some pics tomorrow.

Hey tLb- I'd love to see that!

Awesome!
Reminds me of when I was a kid in the 70s and took my brother's collection and stuck them to the backboard of my bed. Boy, was my mom pissed! (My brother was, too.)

I too stuck all my late 70's Wacky Pack stickers to things they should not have been stuck to... A couple of years ago, I picked up an uncut sheet of stickers from the same period.

It's great to see that the Wacky tradition continues!

Thanks for the old Wacky Package stories, Lukeulele and BeezleBug! I had a ton of them, but I don't remember sticking them on anything. I just remember my brothers and I fighting over them! Great memories! I'm glad that Topps still makes them, because I have my kids collecting them now too.

How cool would it be to have a Dad who designed some Wacky Packages?? :D

Ha, ha! They come up to me sometimes with new Wacky Package ideas... :) For these two though, I was provided with the text and the gag.

Hi,

Here are the pics of the skate case. It's still in great condition and so are most of the stickers. I took pics of the individual stickers too so if anyone wants me to download the rest I will. You can actually read the close up shots.

Thanks tikilongbeach, Brings back the memories!
I hope we see more from you Sam.

Great pics! Thanks so much, Tikilongbeach! Those pics are great! They bring back good memories for me too!

thats great!
