I remember collecting Garbage Pail Kids trading cards as a kid. Like most parents, mine would make the purchase for me, but in their minds they were asking the eternal question … WHY?!!
Because they’re awesome, mom. Jeez.
But, if you want more, here is a GPK FAQ >>
Here is John Pound’s portfolio site — it has his other grossout/freakout artwork.
Did you know there was a GPK saturday morning cartoon produced but never released?
from the FAQ:
Q: Was there a GPK Saturday morning cartoon?
JP: Yes, There was a GPK Saturday morning cartoon series made, but it was not released, due to complaints from parents who’d heard about it being made. I never saw any of the cartoons, and I don’t know who worked on it.
I hate stupid assholes that don’t know what’s cool. GPK animated series? Yeah let’s shut that down. Yeah what a great idea. awesome. make world suck, yeah that’s the ticket.
