Wacky Packages

Do you remember these things? When I was 9 years old (mid 70's), I thought this was the funniest thing ever:
 

It was about the same time I was into baseball cards and Hot Wheels. Its fun to see my son doing some of the same stuff.

    That reminds me of Garbage Pail Kids.

    I'm not sure, but I think it was the same makers, just ten years later.

    The artist I used for some of my Christmas cards this year, Mark Parisi, is a cartoonist for Atlantic Feature Syndicate. He also draws new Wacky Packs. You have to dig, but you can find some of his stuff here:

    If you're interested, the old Wacky Packs are being re-released here:
