One new Wacky for the Club today, Lies potato chips

https://www.topps.com/shop-entertainment-brands/garbage-pail-kids/wacky-packages-alternative-facts/lies-potato-chips-wacky-packages-alternative-facts.html

3 down, 5 to go for this round.

What's interesting is that in their "bundle" (which includes the Lies Potato Chips), Topps includes Twitster card #2, but that card does not appear to be available for purchase separately/individually.

Just one new Wacky for the Club today, Fracky Packages by Neil Camera. With a few familiar OS images visible...

the title in the link is wrong, but it'll take you to the Wacky. It the link gets updated, the below will be broken.

I think that's the best truly Wacky one of these I've seen so far, in terms of content.

Thanks Joe! It's interesting, I painted it with a square black border. Not sure why it's changed to a  rounded border, but hey, it's a wacky!

4 gpk's today, and no Wackys. I feel sorry for the gpk collectors. So many cards this week! And that Dapper Donald...  wtf?

I wonder if this opens the door for more days of Wackys as well?

Maybe a few of the artists can comment on how many new submissions they have contributed to the Wacky On-Demand stable that have not been offered for sale yet? That would be helpful to know.

[I feel sorry for the gpk collectors. So many cards this week!]

I also feel sorry for the artists.  Suspect some of them must be on a tight deadline before today's news turns into yesterday's.

yeah, a lot of the gpk's are definitely created and painted just the night/morning before their release. Super tight deadline.
I think the wackys get more development and execution time, but not by much.

An unexpected post super bowl Wacky

https://www.topps.com/shop-entertainment-brands/garbage-pail-kids/gpk-network-spews/ga-ga-yo-yo-wacky-packages-network-spews.html



That one is mine. I started directly after halftime! Missed the rest of the game. Who knew?

Couldn't use a good gag I had:

Kudos to you for getting this title done overnight, from conception to final brush stroke and everything in between.  I'm very impressed!

Too bad about the "Falcons" gag.  It was most apropos.

Dave, that is in-freakin'-credible!  Awesome work, and I'm continually amazed at how you (and the other great artists) crank these out so fast!  Do you all ever sleep?

So cool to get a behind the scenes look at how the art was created. Something I will keep in mind when viewing it in card form. Thanks for the insight,,,and the art.
