Wacky Packages Series 5 Postcards

[Dr Popper]

Did you go for a Stench Berries, Gaggin' and combo, or just a combo?

I have all 3, so 7 all together just like series 4.  The only one I haven't gone after is the colored Wander. I decided to keep my paramters in-line with my Old School sketches, so one example of the b&w's is fine.

I've only seen one or two color Wander sketches, but so far I prefer the b&w ones I've seen.

OK everyone, time to voice your opinion! Check out the poll above:

 "How do you prefer sketch cards are done in future postcard series?

I'd prefer that each artist stick to one title.  Not that they all have to be the same sketch - I like the variety, and enjoy seeing what others get.  Full color, color accents, characters in different actions, poses, situations, whatever, that's great with me.  The various Kleptos, Tombs and Wanders are great.  And those variations can lead to trading all on their own.  But, IMHO, keeping it to 5 Wacky titles of equal quantities would be better in such a limited edition.

(although I'd love to get my hands on Dough-Boy!!)

With so many new forum names, I can't keep them all straight. Who did Dough-Boy used to be, BigTomi?

Smart aleck!

Where is your old avatar?  I really liked that one!

Yeah, I've got to get that one over here. I couldn't find it in my computer, and I thought a little change might be good. But I like that one better as well. (Someone here made it for me, but I can't remember who - maybe Patrick? Whoever it was, I appreciate it!)

[bandaches]

Here it is again Ernie, and I added quantities but the Smokin' Joe ones are estimates based on what he did last year.......

Klepto (w/pink) = 50
Tombs (b&w) = 50
Wander (b&w) = 40
Wander (colored) = (10, totally a guess)
Speed Lick (b&w) = 50
Stench Berries (b&w) = 22
Gaggin Strips (b&w) = 22
Gaggin' Berries (combo) = 6

You have basically confirmed my breakout from the above with a more detailed breakout.  I like you further breakout, thanks for providing again!

That list looks pretty accurate!

I would say if it has the cereal pieces coming out of the dogs mouth that look just like the cereal in Stench Berries than it should be considered a combo.  Smokin Joe said he only did around 5 similar combos in series 4 and based on what we've seen in so far I wouldn't be surprised if he only did around 5 "Gaggin Berries" .  I love that term "Gaggin Berries"!  I think Elizabeth used it in an email and it works perfectly.

Maybe Neil can touch base with Joe and get approximations like we got for series 4.  

So a gaggin strips with one item that is shaped like the cereal balls from Stench Berries is a Combo??  I think we are streching the combo definitions here, I am not convinced it is worth a whole new category.

Thanks!

I'll try to change it now and give you a karma point for being so nice!

Yep, now you look like you!

Thanks for the karma!

I'll try him today and see if he can give us more info. Stay tuned!

Right back atcha!

Thanks to Pat, I feel like my old self now with the avatar change. It's like I was trying on a new pair of glasses (which usually results in either gales of laughter or shouts of "ewww!" from my loved ones).

[Kook]

thanks! I'm still waiting to see if "Mr Preservative" surfaces. I had a lot of fun with that one!

Here's your "Mr Preservative" along with the rest of my sketches

[Sunstroke]

Mr. Preservative is Awesome! Great assortment.

[Duznt]

Nice Wormy-grab!!

[DrSushi]

This was my screw up from my sketch cards that I am keeping. It was supposed to be Truant he was grabbing, but it was too sloppy so I didn't send it in as one of my 50.

Here's another attempt to post Boozo. Great job on this one, I just love it:

[Sunstroke]

cool! Nice to see it again!

[paste_anyplace]

Here's the very Grinchy sketch that came with my limited postcard set. 

[koduck]

Wow, Christmas never comes too early - nice grab!

[Swiski]

That pink Pepto...er Clepto hand sure gets around!

Rob,

Here's what Smokin' Joe has to say about his sketchcards:

.. a pretty even split of Stench Berries to Gaggin'... although I did draw two gaggin' dogs with the Captain's hat and most of the Gaggin' dogs are spewing stench berries as they choke. I think that means most of the Gaggin' cards are combos, but the berries are mostly just berries.

Thanks, that helps.  It sounds like there are different levels of "combos".  Mine has the dog choking on the cereal and says "Gag Berries" so I consider it a combo.  Ernie has a good question regarding if the dog is choking on the cereal but there's no hat or bubble text with it, and if that can be considered a true combo title.  I would say as long as the cereal pieces look exactly like the cereal on the Stench art then it can be considered a combo, just not as strong as one with the hat or text referring to Stench Berries. 

The thing that confuses me is most of the Gaggin Berries I've seen do NOT have the cereal pieces, which contradicts what Joe is saying.

Neil, sorry if I missed this but did you mention approximately how many of the Wanders you did in color?

I have found the opposite to be true as I was just offered three gaggin berries with berries and one without.  I traded for the gaggin berries with berries mainly because it was the coolest looking one and had a blurb, ie I would probably choose a blurb one over a berrie one.  I am calling it a day and not going to go out of my way to get a gaggin without berries as I don't feel the difference is enough to warrant a category.  If one falls my way via trades, I would trade for it because they are cool but not to "complete" my sketches.

If you are going to declare a category based on a berrie, then it seems there would be categories based on having a blurb or not so I am counting this all as variations of the Gaggin Category and booting the concept of Combo even though technically I own a combo now.

10 colored wander sketches!

I should have never showed you how to use color in your posts.
