Wacky Packages Future Suggestions And Ideas
« on: July 03, 2013, 02:41:30 PM »
Terrible time to start this thread during a long holiday weekend  maybe as a collective group we can jumpstart this "hobby" and the artists need to chime in perhaps creating another forum idea.I will start this off by suggesting original series postcard sets perhaps the forum could be polled so Mr. Jaspersen would have some idea as to how many to order and maybe these sets could also have a bonus card or sketch.

Here's an idea. A future ANS subset. Any products spoofed in the 70's that haven't been spoofed since. The product would have to still be on the market (Hills Bros. Coffee, Top Job, Good Humor, ovaltine to name a few) and use todays package design. The subset could be called "70's Today."

I've been wanting a "big set" of Wackys since we talked about it a couple of years back. Would be neat to have packs contain 2 or 3 random big stickers (or just postcards) and there's an actual set to complete. Something doable, no weird borders, and maybe two or three different puzzles on the back of the cards. Could be reprints of the previous art nice and big so we can really see/appreciate it. Would be fun again!

Books with one letter missing:

Thanks Urgle! Some good ones there - I enjoyed those

We could turn our names into some type of twisted Wacky Pig Latin

Orkie, Bum Hex, Coot, Laybug, deadresidentsvisa, ...

Or we could create some Wacky Haiku poetry

How about a subset called "Just Double The Fun"? Like they did last year with the Halloween postcard title Mummys, do two variations of the same title. I think that was pretty cool how they did that with Mummys.

Another subset idea. "What They Might Look Like Today." Products spoofed in the 70's that haven't been spoofed since and are no longer on the market. The artists can try to come up with ideas on what those products might look like today.
