Garbage Pail Kids Original Series 1 Revese Art Gallery

In
1967, the Topps Chewing Gum company published a 44 card Kooky Awards Stickers
set (© T.C.C. PRTD. IN U.S.A.) that was mainly painted
by artist Norman Saunders with five of the artwork pieces being completed by artist
Tom Sutton; these were punch-out die-cut cards with moisten-adhesive backs —
the same year and style as the Wacky Packages release. The Topps company also
reused several of these concepts from the 1964 Nutty Awards Postcards set of 32
cards (NO © NOTICE), illustrated by legendary artists
Jack Davis, which in turn were recycled again and used as a blueprint for a majority
of the card backs for the 1985 OS1 Garbage Pail Kids set (©
1985 TOPPS CHEWING GUM, INC. PRTD. IN U.S.A.), the Giant OS1 GPK set (©
1986 TOPPS CHEWING GUM, INC. PRTD. IN U.S.A.) and the later Chrome OS1
release (® & ©
2013 THE TOPPS COMPANY, INC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. WWW.TOPPS.COM CODE# CMP005176.)
around 28 years later; several signatures are in a different position. Similar
concepts can also be found in the 1975 Wanted Stickers and 1980 Wanted Posters
Topps sets — also used for the OS3 and OS4 Garbage Pail Kids sets.

At
Len Brown’s suggestion, art director Mark Newgarden, from the New Product Development
department, was asked to update these older Topps releases to use on the backside
of the first few Garbage Pail kids sets, thus saving some time on creating new
material from scratch. Although some titles are brand-new, since some of the older
material was too outdated for kids ‘now-a-days’, Newgarden created some new material
still based on the same theme. Before artist Tom Bunk started working on the card
fronts beginning with the OS3 release, he had the task of rendering and creating
new material for the card backs of these first few Garbage pail Kids sets under
the tutalage of both Newgarden and Art Speigelman. The ribbon artwork on the card
was the only way Newgarden was allowed to sneak in his own artwork for
the project. Out of the 32 Nutty Awards Postcards set, 31 of these concepts were
used in the GPK series; the Nutty Awards title #12 not used: ‘Dishonorable Discharge’.
The nine new 1st series concepts: ‘Allergy Prescription’, ‘Bad Taste Award’,
‘Big Stink Award’, ‘Grouch License’,’Clumsy Award’, ‘Foulmouth Award’, ‘Reform
School Diploma’, ‘Whiners Award’, ‘Garbage Pail Award’, and ‘Busy Body License’.

The NPD Department would create the revised artwork and card type, but the Art
Department was in charge of the overall design and would produce the composition
and layout of the front side and card backs as well as the promotional material
and packaging. Comp images were generated to help guide the final card type design
and artwork placement. The NPD Department would give feedback at a later stage
and eventually give the final ‘okay’. One task by the Art Department, a step prior
to printing, is the paste-up stage; a method of creating a layout for the card
back — pre-dating computerized page design and desktop publishing programs.
The production artist would arrange the layout and apply line art and text cut-and-paste
using and adhesive to the boards. The images were often photographed or scanned
in order to create a negative which was then used to make a printing plate.

the title does not follow the award, license or permit format. For the 2013 Chrome

— The stupidity theme can be found in all three sets with a similar tagline
“… the most popular student in the 6th grade — for 5 straight years!”
(give or take) where two of the characters are wearing a dunce cap. The Kooky
Awards sticker #18 has the title ‘Stupidity Award’, but is still student-related.
Kooky Awards #44 has the title ‘Moron Award’ with the same print (see Back #33),
with the addition of the word “the” on Nutty Awards Postcard #30 person’s

cornered against a brick wall or a snotty-faced know-it-all in previous renditions.
Minus the addition of the “—” in the last sentence, the card-type
of the license (that Nutty Awards #25 does not have), the signature, and individual’s
status all remain the same for the GPK edition. The Kooky Awards sticker #22 “Know

“For being the greatest authority on nothing”.

— The GPK character is once again found in a school testing environment with
a spyglass or spy scope-type telescope like with the Nutty Postcards image, but
the original Kooky Awards is the only one with actual binoculars as seen in the
sentence. Minus the word “President” on Nutty Awards Postcard

the Kooky Awards #36 title is quite different with ‘Champion Cheater Award’.

the line now consists of very unusual suspects, including an E.T. parody image.
Strangely enough, the image for OS14 cards 555a Alien ED and 555b Phone HOMER,
which was intended for the OS1 release, was one of three images removed from the
set. Besides the word “President” on Nutty Awards Postcard #4 being
abbrievated to “Pres.”, the signature and individual’s status still
remain the same for the Garbage Pail Kids edition; “singing group” is
changed to “rock groups” and “nuclear plant explosions” has
been added to the last senence.

— The GPK character is finally made kissing-contact, whereas the character
was almost there for the Nutty Postcards #27 image; the original Kooky Awards
#21 is the only one with more than one lover, but also the only one that states
“Girls go out with you by the dozen, it is safer than going out with you
alone”. The word “President” on Nutty Awards has been abbreviated
to “Pres.” and the 10 “X”s has been reduced to the sexually-suggestive
3 “X”s for the GPK edition. The card-type is vastly changed and different
for both.

the character literally lifting the bullock. The sentence “Even your teeth
are false” has been taken out for the Garbag Pail Kids edition and all three
have the phrase “Cows may come and cows may go — but your bull goes
on forever”. The signature and job title remain the exact same for all three

in age, and there is no character in the Kooky Awards #23 version, just a demolished
vehicle. All three titles are different (Insane, Loony, Lousy) but have the same

a pickle barrel, holding a bottle of hooch, and attempting to sell number two
pencils. His award counterparts on Kooky Awards #20 is wearing a goofy hat and
bow tie and on Nutty Awards #2 is wearing a dunce cap. The card-type remains exactly
the same from Nutty Awards to the GPK edition, but the Kooky Awards has the type
“years ago you were a completely unknown failure. Now you are a known failure”.
The signature and job title remain the exact same for all three versions.

the ‘Cadillac’ car has been replaced with ‘Rolls Royce’. The signature and job

exactly the same from Nutty Awards to the Garbage Pail Kids edition, but the Kooky

his bath water can be put in cans and sold for chicken soup”.

— The stingy GPK character is seen swiping a bum’s #2 pencils to sell for
his own sales; the Nutty Awards (#15) character is seen tying a knot in his date’s
fountain drink straw and the Kooky Awards (#29) character is putting saved monies
back into his coin purse/coffers. The card-type remains exactly the same for all
three editions. The only subtle change is the job title is changed from the plural
‘Tight-Wads’ to the singular ‘Tight-Wad’.

— The insatiable female GPK character is seen eating everything on the table
and on the floor; the Nutty Awards (#21) male character is seen stuffing
has face as does the Kooky Awards (#10) — a chicken or turkey leg can be
found in all three images. The card-type remains exactly the same for all three
editions; the only subtle change is the job title has the inclusion of the word
‘of’.

— The GPK character is seen in a candy store making a move on a female patron;
the Nutty Awards (#28) character is also seen within a candy-store setting stuffing

— The filthy GPK character is found soaking in a tub; the Nutty Awards (#8)
character is seen in a literal pig pen whereas the Kooky Awards (#6) character
is also in a tub scrubbing his own back. The card-type remains exactly the same

— The trashed GPK character is found leaning against a garbage can, the Nutty
Awards (#23) character is simply a guys unkempt mug and smoking a cigarette, and
the Kooky Awards (#32) image is only a football. The card-type remains exactly
the same for the GPK and Nutty Awards editions, but the signature is completely
different, ‘Messy Schmidt’ changed to ‘Dirty Dan’, respectively. The Kooky Awards
card reads: ‘For having skin that looks like a pig’s, also for having manners
and health habits to match’. The image can also be found within the 1985 GPK
Folder #1 and #2 with the award title in nostalgic ‘OS1’ pink color.
