The expando feature is AWESOME!
 ^-^ ^-^ ^-^ ^-^ ^-^

I just posted this in another thread but will post it here again as well.  If the expando picture is too large to fit on your screen (when it expands), it will create a scroll bar at the bottom.  However, if you move your mouse to the scroll bar in order to try to see the whole picture, the picture immediately shrinks again.

Boreateen: Tough one to find the actual product image of at a decent size (from the right years). I think I painted the box from a pic that was like 2" tall.

I just can't figure out what the black line drawing is to the right of the "slow acting" banner. I see it's a cobweb on the box top which makes sense. Please enlighten me and keep the images coming!

This is another of my very favorite old school Wackys.  Love the fact that the product is obviously from the old days.  Very classic feel except for the character, which is very ANSish, but thats because Dave painted most of the ANS Wackys as well.  Nothing wrong with that.  To me, this one is a real winner.

That is a much better pic than what I had to use. I think it does appear to be three fingers holding the mini sign.

Brylscream: The character is wearing a real 70s outfit I found in an ad. The skeleton is modeled after Don Steele from Death Race 2000 and Rock 'N Roll High School.

I love how Sue Mee works even as a tiny size sticker. It might be cool to see a subset of micro-Wackies in a future Topps release. Like 3 or four tiny die-cut titles on one card.


I also like Sue Mee and think it would be great to see a subset of mini-wackys.  As much as I like the 5 by 7's, a subset of tiny ones would be cool as well.

I love micro characters, and the little green monster with razor sharp teeth is a great example of why  ;D

An easier proposition would be asking which I dislike or are my least favorite.

As it stands, I find "15th Avenue" to be the card which I find the most favorable. The '85 series will always be my favorite and this particular card reminds me very much of Greaser's Pieces.

Other than the (Original 16) the "85" series is my favorite, I know I'm in the minority but there is something about that series I just love! I find the "Old School" series very simmular to the "85" series. That was definitly meant as a complimant Dave!

Up until the old school release, the '85 series was the last to have such a raw, gritty and un-refined approach to satire. The approach was rather bold and very appealing. Even though I did enjoy the later series ('91 through FBII) they lacked what made me always favor the '85's. The latest installment is fantastic and gets its point across quite well.

Dave: your artwork is fantastic, and the little touches are superb (I love the three mice emblem on Cheddarfield!) Sue Mee was so cool as a micro-sticker I ended up buying 6 of them -- seriously.

I love seeing the blow-ups (for some reason I have a hard time seeing all the detail in the OLDS 1 series regular stickers -- mb I'm just gettin' old? ;) ), but this link is broken? ... I'm dying to see the blow-up of Odor Pops (I loved these as a kid, and can remember the flavor and consistency even now) and Qreep brought back memories of (briefly) eating Quisp as a kid (my brother ate Quake) -- until my Mom found out about the sugar in them...

Really looking forward to OLDS 2! :D

Thanks very much. The details on the stickers I think were a bit blurry due to some off register nonsense by the printer. I expect OLDS2 to look much sharper. Here is Odor Pops biggie sized.
