Reminds me of "Horrid."





And, upon closer examination, the upper green mist on both cans is identical.

Great!  Now with a little "copying" here and a bit of "pasting" there, we can really start cranking out the quality artwork twice as fast!

It's the same can and mist just stretched. The Rice and Mountain Dew ones are also using old WPs as the base.

Whoa!  The realism in this one is just uncanny!  I admit, when I first glanced at this on my screen, I jumped back in bewilderment thinking that somebody had somehow magically placed an actual can of Mountain Dew on my laptop's keyboard.  My heart is still pounding!  I mean, look at it!  Positively frightening!



(Well, today wasn't that bad.  Two real Wackys out of six.)

Also.... the character's head in Diet Mt. Dementia is from the ANS 11 title - "Deepends"

Wow, yup. Same head (well, same head but painted over).

I thought it was Morrissey from The Smiths at first.

What would make more sense is to have me, Smokin Joe, Neil and her just do one a day (Joe and Brent doing the GPKs with some of us filling in here and there). The quality would improve tremendously.

OMG!  You wonder how this mess, this farce, could ever become possibly worse - and then it does!  Seriously!  Now, along with everything else, we have to deal with "copy and paste" Wackys?



But, wait!  I've spoken too hastily.  Let's look at the positive benefits.  Once this happens a few more times, we'll be able to collect pairs of cards and create our own WP "matching" games.



Or more like...

It's amazing how you can see the difference in One and Scribble Scrabble and the other 4.

One is an artist, the other is NOT.

Does Topps not see this or do they just not care?

if you scroll up, you'll see I've included the original images for photoshopping for some from this week - such as the Hamlet book that has the same crease and dirt stains.
This has been going on for quite awhile unfortunately

You're absolutely right!  They are the very same stains!

Oh, for Heaven's sake!  This is getting bad, bad, bad, bad, and BAD!  So now were using altered Google images for Wackys, as well?

Wow!  This "artist" must have been on Cloud 9 after she happened upon this ancient, cheesy book image.  90% of the work was already completed!  Let's see, first block out some text with a few off white rectangles.  (1 minute.)  Second, type in some new text.  (3 minutes, taking into account that damn "spell check" feature she's been forced to use as of late.)  Third, block out Hamlet's silhouetted head with another white rectangle.  (30 seconds.)  Finally, grab some random black blob, throw it on top of Hamlet's head, and reposition the vector points on the right hand side into a pig's face.  (5 minutes.) 

So, a whooping nine and a half minutes!  However, let's be fair.  I'll throw a potty break in there somewhere and round everything up to a full quarter hour.  (Although it's really none of my business, I cannot help but to wonder how much she was paid for this title - and, of course, the Herculean effort that went into it.)

That's an approach I'd really love to see - passing the baton around more amongst all the contributors (Joe G too!) and getting a more balanced approach with all the artists.
Seems like a good way to keep the energy and inspired ideas alive as well.

Dave, both your Prince Hot/Haute Wheels and the ELO ones are absolutely-freakin'-credible!

In a weird way, I sort of like the change from "hot" to "haute," makes me feel more Prince-y!

I know nada about this Frye Festival, I need to get out more!
