Hi, all! Some of you may know me through trading. As a young teenager, like 13-16, I was impatient waiting for the new series to come along, so I drew my own on the side. I found my drawings a few years ago, but with all the new Wackys coming out, I didn't think it necessary to post any of these. Now that we don't have new Wackys every week or even every month, I thought I'd just share them with y'all to maybe satisfy any Wacky withdrawals.
What you will see were drawn around 1974-1977, so these are really "old school." I was very prolific and wound up drawing several series' worth, about 33 per series. I was on my 10th series when I had to quit because honors classes started to consume all my time. Before you look at them, keep in mind a few things. First, I didn't have the concept of drawing them big and reducing them; I just drew them and colored them in a "book" of stapled white paper. (Thus, you may see where the previous or next page color leaked through.) Second, some of the products you may not recognize because they were products I just found around my house, and my mom sometimes bought house brands. Some of these products even I don't remember. Third, remember the first ones are from when I was around 12 years old, so the artwork isn't the best. However, IMHO, I got better and the drawings became more the size of real Wacky Packages cards as I gained experience.
Here is the first series. I hope you get a kick out of them. If you want me to post more, let me know....I have them!
Paul
