Title: Rejected Wackys Set (Off the Mark-et)
Post by: Gurgle on March 06, 2019, 08:26:14 PM
Hey all!

I've been busy making a set of some of my rejected Wacky Packages designs. I call the set Off the Mark-et.
It includes a set of 33 cards
A title card
A checklist
A 9-card puzzle
A bonus card donated by Dav Pilkey! (Creator of Captain Underpants, Dog Man)
A color sketch card.

Everything is on acid-free card stock.
I'm taking preorders now for $55 a set (includes shipping). Send me a PM if you're interested.
It was a blast to make, and the first 10 orders will get 2 sketch cards.

So far the only set I've made went to Dav Pilkey and he posted some on instagram. I'm attaching images, including a couple sketches, so you get an idea of the set.

Thanks!
-Mark

Thanks for your pre-orders, everyone! I'll put these together as soon as I can and get them to you. I appreciate your patience, of course. I also have a lot of sketches to do.

If this goes well, I have enough for additional series. Thanks again!

Yes! Even though they are printed, I still consider this pre-sale. Still have collating and sketches to do.
Please gift PayPal $55 to MarkParisi@aol.com and I'll add you!

I believe I was first one to purchase pre-sale series 1, and my goal is to be the first one in for each series. When does the pre-pre-sale for series 2 begin?

Also, do you have an estimated start date for post-sale on series 1?

Looking forward to looking backward at this series!
Title: Re: Rejected Wackys Set (Off the Mark-et)
Post by: Gurgle on April 02, 2019, 11:07:13 AM
You weren't the first, but you were in the first ten so you get two sketch cards. Post-sales will start as soon as I ship the pre-sales!

A Series Two isn't certain, but I certainly have plenty to make more series. (If the first series goes over well.)

This thread got me thinking...

It's amazing how just many Wackys are rejected.  And to think that this probably happens to every artist; They all probably have a stockpile of rejected parodies.  They're the new generation of "lost" Wackys.  Granted, these Wackys were rejected for one reason or another, yet I seriously doubt that all were deemed "unfunny," "too coarse," or "disparaging" (to the actual product.)  Some were probably rejected because a similar product was already selected to be parodied at the same time.  Others might have been rejected on the grounds that they wouldn't appeal to Topps' target audience (8 - 10 year olds) and weren't "trendy" enough.  (I could envision this happening in recent years.)  Still others might have been rejected because Topps chose the artist's, say, top three parodies and left numbers four and five to wither on the vine.  It's not that four and five weren't good; They were simply the "unchosen" (leaving the artist to scratch his head in bewilderment.)

Which brings me to my point...

It's too bad Topps didn't file all of these "rejects" away to be pulled out at a later date, say, the year 2019, and issue a standard set of Wackys or a postcard set (both of which are long overdue.)  Instead, we have nothing and Topps makes nothing.   :-\  IMO this doesn't make good business sense.  In fact, it defies simple common sense.

I'm sure we are all grateful that Mark Parisi shared these with us, but it's sad (even tragic) to think of how many other "rejects" must be stored away in filing cabinets, never to see the light of day.

All too true. The vast majority of concepts never see the light of day. In fact, I think the average is like one in five or one in ten. Something crazy like that. I used to print my rejects out in a reference binder (the stack is about 4" high) but I stopped after ANS7, because I ran out of room, LOL. Maybe I'll bring it to Allentown...

I'm lucky because I get to use my rejects in my Off the Mark comic panel. But for me, there's nothing like seeing them in card form! I've done most of these years ago, and have seen them over and over, but when I now see them in a card set, I geek out.

The sets are almost ready to send!

For any completists who have already ordered, I should tell you there are three different color sketch cards: black, blue, red. If you want to add one or two sketches to your order to have one of all three, it's $20 for one additional sketch, $35 for two additional sketches. All will be color.

Thanks! If interested, try to let me know before I send the sets out.

My set was waiting for me when I got home from Allentown yesterday afternoon  :great:

Great set, great gags. It really capped off a great weekend!

This set has to be one of the top 5 wacky related releases in the last three years!  So cool.

Thanks,  Andrew

Having enjoyed this set, I now find myself enjoying your Off The Mark panels (which I was only vaguely aware of before.)  My two favorite panels are the cats sitting around the campfire listening to a horror story about a dish with day old food (I am a cat person and can relate to this,) as well as the origin of the platypus.  I have to say, you have an excellent sense of humor.  Now I'm looking at picking up a few of your books which, judging from what I've seen so far, look to be very promising.  Thanks!

Wow, thanks so much! I appreciate you exploring my cartoons!
And I just added a bunch more books this year.

I was about to write and say that I'm missing several puzzle pieces for the Bumble Beep puzzle,
but then I had a "d'oh!" moment.... nevermind.

Great set, love it!

Happened to me, too   :-[

Awesome set!!  I'm hoping to finally have time to scan my sketch cards this weekend!

Ha! I was wondering what the reaction would be to the mini-puzzle. It was short-term confusion!

I can post some sketches when I have a chance.

I know I asked this on another thread, but is there interest in a Series 2?

Thanks! Now, if you could, pictures of all of them, please.

And did you see that Peepsi and Tootsie Troll have been done as Wackys?

Post by: Gurgle on June 27, 2019, 09:55:26 AM
I hope to get around to posting them all.

I did know that Peepsi and Tootsie Troll became Wackys.
But they weren't Wackys yet when I submitted my versions.

I didn't know that. Thanks.

I might consider getting a set. Are they still available and are they stickers or cards?

They are still available. I sold about 2/3 of them. They are cards, not stickers. Printed on sturdy acid-free stock.

Title: Re: Rejected Wackys Set (Off the Mark-et)

$55, which includes a color sketch card. $35 without the sketch card.

Does that include both complete puzzles or just one? And are the puzzles complete at all when you make a purchase?

Plus, are all of the base cards and both bonus cards included?

Forgive the questions, but I'd just like to know all of the details before I buy anything.

You'll get both complete puzzles, the full base set, and the bonus cards.  No trading needed.

Oh good, thank you, Pat! That's just what I needed to know!

As soon as I can, I'll get the $35 one, as sketch cards are not my kind of thing here.

Mark, I'll need your snail mail address to get the cards. Please send me a PM when you can. The reason for this is: 1) I don't know how to order anything online and even if I did know, I can't (because I can't afford to get an online account of my own) and 2) my parents won't buy or sell anything online themselves (either for them or for me) because they're personally afraid of identity theft (and I can't say that I blame them).

Also, thanks for the checklist and the pictures! Now I can give the OtM names and the real names to Patrick and he can put them on the Master Spreadsheet in the Non-Topps section if he wishes to do so.
