Now, can anyone find anything that I've missed?
-
Interesting observations! I'll keep my eyes open for more recent tie-in parodies.
-
Mentioned this before on the "Sleuthing and Forensics" thread. Don't know if it would count or not, 1) being it's such a small detail, and 2) it's not ANS.
OS3 Meow Mess
The "6-Up" bottle cap among the kitty refuse.

Also Neil Camera's "Fracky Packages" from the "Trumpocracy: The First 100 Days" set.

-
Don't know if Wackys appearing on subsequent Wackys counts here, but ANS Thefty and Tacky Packages come to mind right away. Also the Dracky Packages postcard.
-
I remember this being more prevalent in the early ANS series, probably petered out as more new artists got involved in the later series. Funnily enough, I can only think of the repeated character in a few of the titles mentioned. It's probably been 5 years or more since I've even looked at the first half-dozen or so sets.
-
Thefty's been added, thanks. And, after some thought, I've put in the other two, also, even though they're not ANS. Finally, after some more thought, the third one's been put in too, even though it's basically one of those POD Wackys that not many people here seem to really like.
-
we had a good list of these going on Greg's old forum back in the day. think that's all lost now.
Fred does have all the ANS2 stuff captured on his site though
http://www.hipsteria.com/wacky/wp_ans2_annotated.shtml
-
I just found another one and added it to the list: Horderlands 2: Much Stuff (25) from ANS11.

I'm not sure if this one counts, or not, but I remember having a feeling of deja vu when I first saw the "Red Veins" art. The character's arm and shirt sleeve almost match up perfectly to the reversed Ghoul Humor's character's arm.
(https://s18.postimg.org/k95pbwud1/Red_Veins_Ghoul_Humor_Pose.jpg) (https://postimg.org/image/k95pbwud1/)
-
That's a good one, considering that the two characters are each facing in a different direction, the first (Ghoul Humor) to the right and the second (Red Veins) to the left. It doesn't count for this list, IMO, but it's very clever, indeed. I wonder if the artist who did Red Veins knew about this when he did it?
-
Would make a great mash-up!

Or a great pair of Double Artist sketch cards.

I'm sure Strephon was very aware of the Ghoul Humor character. Wouldn't surprise me if he did that on purpose.
-
I just found seven modern Wackys that incorporate other ANS characters (so I don't know if they'd count here):
*ANS2: #34 (Punchables Cracker Smackers)
*ANS10: #39 (Klepto-Bismol (second version)),
*ANS11: #29 (The Game of Loaf (this one has two characters))
*2014 S1: Bonus Sticker B8 (Notre-Grain)
*2015 S1: #10 (Krust Macaroni and Sneese).
*Wacky Packages All New Monthly Series 2021: June 2021 #19 (Mtn Don't; the same character as the one in ANS11: #29 (The Game of Loaf) - the second of two repeated characters up to this point (for the first one, see Reply #1 above)) October 2021 #17 (Frosted Stakes)
*Wacky Packages All New Series 2023: #16: Wolf Man Chili
Does anyone else know about any other modern Wackys that fit into this category?
-
I just found another one and added it to the list: Grape-Nuts + Bolts (B13), another one from ANS11.
-
For those with microscopic vision, you might find one of the Hurts Tomato characters lurking on the label of "Motion Spray" from ANS8.

Or Romaine :]
Whichever one it is, it's in the list now!
UPDATE: Say, did anyone else notice that the guy's middle finger in in his left nostril? I just noticed that now.
Also, it's not just that the Burpsi-Cola guy has hair on his head - his nose is different from the original's, too.
-
I just found another one in ANS6 - Shake 'n Break! It's on the list now if anyone wants to look.
-
And another one in ANS2 - Punchables Cracker Smackers! Again, it's on the list now.
-
You guessed it - another one, this time a print on demand one from Network Spews - Where's Richard?! Joe Grossberg (Joe G.) pointed this one out.
-
And yet another one in Postcards S1 - Weaky Packages! Once again, it's on the list now.
-
Pictures would definitely be helpful (and appreciated!)

I've only got the stickers up to ANS8, Rob. And I think that I've got a camera on my computer, but I don't know how to use it.
Can anyone help me out with this one and include pictures of all the Wackys mentioned here on this list so that Rob can see all of them? I also saw that Mark (NationalSpittoon) asked for pictures also.
We've already got three of them (Horderlands 2: Much Stuff, Motion Spray and Poop-Tarts) so they don't need to be done.
UPDATE: Correction: the first two pictures are gone. Can someone please put them back?
-
I just found out that two of the four Kooky Kards from 2019 have OS characters. Even though they're not true Wackys, they're the same thing in spirit, so I put them in as well.
Can anyone show me photos of Rodeo Flyer Wagon and Curst so I can see if these two have to be included as well?
-
Just found another one: Boozooka from Halloween Postcards 2010.
The bubble gum bubble-blowing boy from Gadzooka is on there and he looks scared!
I have to admit I'm surprised I didn't see this one sooner - and I have the entire run of the Halloween Postcards line!
-
And another one: Fitbite ChompHR from the 2019 Holiday Postcards.
The lady from Minute Lice is there, with a different hairstyle.
-
Yet another: Stone Cold Cremation from All New Weekly Series: May 2020 Week 3.
The Ghoul Humor skull-headed character is in it.
-
Yes, another one: Crime Spree from All New Monthly Series July 2021 #13.
The Run Tony gangster is in it.
-
Don't know if it's been mentioned already, but the Wacky worms appear in the June 2021 title, "Cap'n Corpse"

Good thinking, Neil; it's included!
Oh, btw, it's the Wormy Packages worms.

And another one: Geese's Peanut Butter Ducks from the November All New Weekly Series.
The duck from Ducko Cement is in it.
-
Again, two more: Happy Jack and Leaves from the November All New Monthly Series.
The characters this time are the guys from Hipton Tea Bags and Duzn't Do Nothin' Detergent, respectively.
-
I even noticed 2 Wackys in November 2021 use original sticker series Wacky Characters:
Leaves - Man from Duzn't
Happy Jack - Man from Hipton tea
-
So is it nostalgia from the artists to hide some "easter eggs" or are they just running out of character ideas?
-

Definitely nostalgia. I'll let you know when I run out of ideas ;)
-
Just found another one: Frosted Stakes from the October All New Monthly Series.
The vampire from Stake 5, one of the Wacky Halloween Postcards, is in it.
-
And another one that I didn't even know about until now: Avenjerx from All-New Series 11's Bonus Sticker B9.
The members of the Avengers all look like the guy from Ajerx.
-
Just found another one: All New Weekly Series August 2020 Week 1 (Ugly Frowny).

-
The November 2022 Wacky set has a reference to Graft Cheese for a line on it.
-

You mean Kong's Hawaiian, right?
Actually, the line from Graft Cheese was "This here cheese was yellow, now it's full of holes", not "shot full of holes".
And I don't know about lines. Does anyone else think they should be considered the same thing as characters or not?
-

Sure, that line is not the same, but the line that is the same, is the same.

Okay, I didn't know about that line. Thanks. It's in.

And yet another:

A finger similar to the one in Bustedfinger is in it. It's just missing the bandage.

Two more I just found:

A monstrous version of one of the tomatoes from De-Mented Tomatoes is in the first one and the drunkard Mr. Peanut from Plastered Peanuts is in the second one.
-
The November 2022 Wacky Packages entry of "Calico Fritters" includes an appearance of a bottle of original Wacky Packages Series 3 entry of "1-A Sauce".

Thanks for noticing, it's in!
-
If we're including lines as well as characters, here's one I noticed long ago:
*ANS5 #35 (mrs. Goodbar).
A variant of the line from Mrs. Klean is on it.
-
Yep, two more:
ANS 2023 #7 (Shaft Extra Sharp Cutter) and #30 (Crawl Park Creepy Crawly Franks)
The Jail-O prisoner is in the first one, and as for the second one, you guessed it, our friends the Wormy Packages worms are back again!
-
Here we go again, folks! This one's for the modern Wackys list in Reply #14 (the first one on this list in a long time). Thanks a lot to Joe G. for noticing this one!
ANS 2023: #16 (Wolf Man Chili)
The werewolf from Fright Castle Ghoul Burgers (originally known as Fright Castle Greaseburgers) is in it.
-
Mike my pleasure, glad it made the list. Also I was looking over the list and was surprised to see my Where’s Richard as the potential record holder for this. Your count seems to be right but it is missing one other little tid-bit I added. Not Wacky exactly so it may not rate inclusion but I also did add the Exterminator, arch-fiend from the Spider-Guy Krazy Comic to the painting. I was on a bit of a Wally Wood kick at the time and just happened to be reading the Krazy Comics as I was completing this Wacky Packages art.

-
Well, I found some more, this time on Wacky Website card backs!
ANS1: #30 (Americans OnWine)
The drunk man from Barman Barroom Tissue is in it.
ANS2: #9 (Whacked Packages)
The gangster from Slayer Aspirin is in it.

ANS4 #47 (Alive (Wacky Coupon card back))
In addition to the two Ugly Stickers monsters from before, a third Ugly Stickers monster is in it.
In addition, a Martian from Mars Attacks is in these two:
*ANS2: #2 (StarTrash.com)
*ANS4: #48 (EarthLing).

You may not know this, Joe, but in the Marvel Multiverse (specifically, the mainstream Marvel Universe of Earth-616) there once was an actual supervillain named the Exterminator (real name: Phillip Wallace Sterling). He was one of the many leaders of a supervillain group named the Ani-Men I (Ape-Man I, Bird-Man I, Cat-Man I, Frog-Man I and Dragonfly (the last member was the only woman to be in the group)) before he was seemingly killed in that identity. Years later, Sterling was resurrected and assumed a second identity - Death-Stalker I, battled Daredevil the Man Without Fear several times (with many of these battles between them ending in a draw), then in his final battle with Daredevil, he briefly formed the Ani-Men II (Ape-Man II, Bird-Man II and Cat-Man II) before being killed in that identity. So far, he's remained dead to this day. After his death, his elderly mother, Elizabeth Dawes Sterling, tried to get revenge on Daredevil by killing him in an elaborate deathtrap of her own creation, blaming him for her son's death, only to end up dying herself in the process before the deathtrap could even be set, much less used.
Sterling's first identity of the Exterminator has so far never been assumed by anyone else, but briefly another person (a woman) has assumed his second identity of Death-Stalker I. Death-Stalker II (so far as I know) has only appeared once and hasn't been seen since. Her real name remains unknown.
You can get more details on this subject in the Wikipedia article "List of Marvel Comics characters" under "D".

Good going; they're in! You're right on the ball!

I just found another one, this time with an ANS character:
*2014 S1 Bonus Sticker B8 (Notre-Grain).
The hunchback (Quasimodo the Hunchback of Notre Dame, maybe?) from Notre Hunch in Wacky Halloween Postcards 2012 is in it.
This one is now in Reply #14 on pg. 1.

Yes indeed, another one:

The arguing couple from Squabble is in it.

Both of the monster heads from Hostile Thinkies are in each one.

ANS4 #20 "Pay-Doh" ~ The coupon back for Mutt Bone appears to have one (maybe more) of the "Wormy Packages" worms both in the Mutt Bone original art, as well as the bowl to the right.
ANS4 #30 "Chicken In A Casket" ~ The coupon back has the red, white and blue worm, minus the tube lid hat, from the 4th series "Wormy Packages" art.

You shall be henceforth known as Hawkeye :)

This is off topic comment but it’s something that always struck me most Wacky worms aren’t worms at all but caterpillars right?? They are “wormy” but not worms. The reason it’s on my mind is that for ANS 2023 I had a painting ‘Worm Delights.’ When I went to paint it I naturally started with a colorful Wacky type worm but it simply looked wrong. I worked through the design issue and ended up (with the help of my better half) coming up with what I thought was a fun and wacky-ish worm design that was a true worm. Very few Wackys feature the classic pink worm you see on the sidewalk after a rainstorm!

Well, you know how the old saying goes: "The early hawk catches the Wormy Packages"... or something like that!

Absolutely!

Thanks, Soremel, good job! I even put in Mutt-Bone from ANS3, too.
Now this is the kind of thing I like! Everyone keep on checking it out and if you find anything, let me know and I'll put it in.
Btw, Joe, I think those Wormy Packages worms are worms, just cartoonish-looking ones. Caterpillars would have many legs which, IIRC, these guys don't have.
-
Well, you know how the old saying goes: "The early hawk catches the Wormy Packages"... or something like that!
In this case, it's actually "The early bird gets the Wormy Packages".
But I like that other one, "The second rat gets the Valveater", too.

You guessed it...
ANS 2023 #49 (Sweeties)
The whole Wacky is just an altered version of Weakies.
