The characters this time are the guys from Hipton Tea Bags and Duzn't Do Nothin' Detergent, respectively.

Leaves - Man from Duzn't
Happy Jack - Man from Hipton tea

So is it nostalgia from the artists to hide some "easter eggs" or are they just running out of character ideas?

Definitely nostalgia. I'll let you know when I run out of ideas

The vampire from Stake 5, one of the Wacky Halloween Postcards, is in it.

mikecho · « **Reply #47 on:** February 05, 2022, 08:26:06 PM »

And another one that I didn't even know about until now: Avenjerx from All-New Series 11's Bonus Sticker B9.

The members of the Avengers all look like the guy from Ajerx.

mikecho · « **Reply #48 on:** October 17, 2022, 07:17:46 PM »

Just found another one: All New Weekly Series August 2020 Week 1 (Ugly Frowny).

You bet:

Another appearance of the Wormy Packages worms.

You mean Kong's Hawaiian, right?

Actually, the line from Graft Cheese was "This here cheese was yellow, now it's full of holes", not "shot full of holes".

And I don't know about lines. Does anyone else think they should be considered the same thing as characters or not?

Sure, that line is not the same, but the line that is the same, is the same.

Once again confirming “often in error, never in doubt”…

mikecho · « **Reply #57 on:** November 18, 2022, 11:51:24 PM »

Okay, I didn't know about that line. Thanks. It's in.

mikecho · « **Reply #58 on:** November 24, 2022, 03:48:13 PM »

And yet another:

All New Monthly Series September 2012 #19 (Pinky)

A finger similar to the one in Bustedfinger is in it. It's just missing the bandage.

mikecho · « **Reply #59 on:** December 12, 2022, 06:10:42 PM »

Two more I just found:

2015 S1 #48 (Hunched Tomatoes) and 66 (MayDay).

A monstrous version of one of the tomatoes from De-Mented Tomatoes is in the first one and the drunkard Mr. Peanut from Plastered Peanuts is in the second one.

If we're including lines as well as characters, here's one I noticed long ago:

*ANS5 #35 (mrs. Goodbar).

A variant of the line from Mrs. Klean is on it.

mikecho · « **Reply #63 on:** March 19, 2023, 07:28:05 PM »

Yep, two more:

ANS 2023 #7 (Shaft Extra Sharp Cutter) and #30 (Crawl Park Creepy Crawly Franks)

The Jail-O prisoner is in the first one, and as for the second one, you guessed it, the Wormy Packages worms are back again!
