2024 All New Series 1 !!

[DrSushi]

We just really liked the idea of a mascot/character for this set. I inked the art and Halsey did a fantastic job on the coloring. Hoping the character catches on, sorta like the paste ot anywhere kid.

Maybe we should name him. Amy suggestions?!

Parker "Par" O'Dee

Ha! You're right! That wasn't intentional but the shape  certainly does look a lot like Texas! Maybe we should call him Boy Howdy, lol!

Or maybe Howdy Doofus?

[lcummins]

How about Ludlow B. Chase

[sco(o)t]

How about Ludlow B. Chase

I do like Chase as a first name for this character. Perhaps Chase Card, or similar.

I like that.

How about Chase M. All?

[DrSushi]

Shopping Carter
Shopping Carl
Shopping Cartman
Ken Sumer (Soomer)
Spillen Ayultoo
Spoof Stickerman
Quaker A Jerx

I like a lot of those. Ken Sumer is way better than Conrad. What about Ken Sumerism? (maybe he's got an Auntie?)

[quas]

I like that.

How about Chase M. All?

Or Chase Carter.

[bigtomi]

So no more suggestions to Neil’s name the mascot question?
I guess naming is more of a GPK thing but I know there’s a perfect one out there.  Maybe something like Willie Getem or Chase M. All?

Paste M. Anyplace?   

[Joe G.]

Paste M. Anyplace?   

Classic!

[Zenergizer]

or if we wanted to acknowledge Topps (or Fanatics):

Tobias Topps
Fred Fanatic

yeah.... not the greatest.....

[DrDeal]

Chase has my vote. He IS running behind that cart.

[koduck]

With so many great name suggestions, I'm not sure how we can do a poll! I'll have to think about this a bit more...

[David Brody]

Thanks!

"Gnawthans" and "Starbugs" illustrated by Jeff Dionise.

[Joe G.]

Neil, wow!  Jeff just crushed ‘em, they are unbelievably stunning!  And hooray the return of a favorite, your (and Halseys) wonderful and Wacky Comics!

[JasonLiebig]

he is NOT the big 'Eric Roberts' that had owned so many WP Original art from years ago

Last Fall I spent a day with the other Eric Roberts. He’s got an expansive collection that goes well beyond Wacky Packages. But he’s still got all of that material, too. Pretty intense.

Just an extraordinary collection he has curated.

[David Brody]

These are terrific!

Jeff created five in last year’s ANS set and was a guest artist a few times in the Weekly and Monthly sets.
I found all of his to be top notch!

Here's a few more spoilers

[Fanatical_and_Sickly]

A few more items to Chase with this set vs last year’s set.
I like it!
And a full checklist is provided on Topps as well, to help understand and figure out what is what.

[koduck]

I see the checklist for the base set.  Is there a checklist for the subsets, or even a notation of how many are in each subset?  I love the Wacky Pals and can see there are two per box, but I'm curious how many Wacky Pals are in the full subset.  Neil, can you share that info?

Ten in total
