How long until we get a Garbage Pail Kids videogame?! With real puke-tastic action!

I have not seen garbage pail kids since my wonderful youth in the eighties.

Me neither. They eventually got banned in my school, along with the Bart Simpson "I'm an underachiever and proud of it" t-shirt.

...needless to say, the days when school administrators had to worry about Garbage Pail Kids instead of full-auto machine guns were the proverbial "good old days". Though I do wish they would've lightened up a bit.

But I'm living in Singapore, so i probly wont be able to buy any.

Ye gods, Azraelot. Did we go to school together or something? I remember when the parents in my town went utterly apeshiat about GPK and Bart Simpson.

I don't recall the particulars of it; I just remember those two. I grew up in Fairfax, VA.

I have my doubts about these catching on again, though. Maybe if it was a card game with a tie-in cartoon show.

SimuLord

Did they want to set a pile of evil t-shirts and GPK ablaze like they did in my city?

Money.

I still have all my old ones...someday they'll make me a fortune, you'll see! I'll post my ebay listing in the classifieds and show you all! HAHAHAHahaha.

I still have about 25 first series cards. One of them is Evil Eddie. I wonder if I can sell them on Ebay for anything....

/(art spiegelman = one of the GPK artists.. and also quite the influential contemporary comic artist)

No...the people of Wakefield, MA feared fire...at least the fact that every 4th of July fireworks show between 1988 and 1994 got canceled for "safety reasons" seems to point to that idea.

We were the first town on the North Shore to ban backyard brush fires outright as well. That didn't stop us from holding a neighborhood bonfire every year though...living in the same neighborhood as a fireman who was easily swayed by T-bones helped.

Wait, Art Spiegelman did garbage pail kids art? Never knew that.

Apparently he was an "editor and art director" for the series.

Garbage Pail Kids, that Bart Simpson "Underachiever" shirt, all kinds of stupid crap got banned at my school. The only thing that kept them from forcing everyone to wear school uniforms is that A: the parents didn't want to pay for them, and B: the district said the parents would have to pay for them because the football team was overbudget (again).

while I was laid off, I sold a lot of stuff but not my GPK's. Not sure why, always loved those. I have the complete series 1-6. Was just on ebay, there selling for about 1k for the early series... those were good days, before conservatives stepped in and said they were too offensive. After that, the series changed.

This is as cool as masturbating on toast and serving it to your grandmother. I'll pass.

one mans trash is another mans treasure

X-E will be happy.

Garbage Pail Kids remind me of when I cleaned up at the SD Comic-Con and nearly lost it all. I sold a few series 1 and 2 sets of GPK's and took the money, made a few hundred. I brought all of my 1st and 2nd print TMNT's to have Eastman and Laird sign.

I was actually so busy counting my money thinking what to buy, I left all of my TMNT's at Eastman and Laird's booth, decided not to buy anything, and left the Con. 20 minutes of the freeway, I realised what I had done, went back, and they were waiting for me to come back and get my comics so they could leave.

So I learned: Don't be a greedy bastard and count your money. Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird are 2 really cool guys.

FARKIN GARBAGE PAIL KIDS!

My suggestion:

Gee, never had that craze in South Africa, only the Cabbage Patch Dolls. I work in a museum and I'm working on a collection of popular culture dating from the 70's to the present. Does anybody have a Cabbage Patch doll or a Carbage Pail doll to donate to the museum.

we have around 10 original cabbage patch dolls. Big diff from garbage pail kids, haha. I might let one go, with proper credit. That was another funny crazy, heh

Macker......would love to get hold of one of those dolls for my collection.........museums collection. How can I get intouch with you.

sadly I have no garbage pail kids, but I do have a complete set of Dinosaurs Attack...

Growing up in Omaha in the eighties, Garbage Pail Kids cards, MUSCLE men, and those ugly ass spandex "biker shorts" were all banned from school. Don't remember Bart Simpson merchandise being banned, although I do remember the parental outrage toward that little ragamuffin.

Well if anyone wants to donate to the Museum please feel free. I work at the National Cultural History Museum in Pretoria. So please let me know if you are interested. Thanks.

bone

em

there probably pretty valuable

True Macker but this is one way of preserving the present for the future. If you find a price for them, maybe the Museum would buy it but not promising anything. Just get me a price list and maybe I can orginise to buy one for the Museum.

Leave the old classics alone, please. No sequals.

maybey we should also send you RIAA affidavits too. Theres history in the making..

BoneCollector:

There's this great internet site you should use. You can fill your entire "museum" (spare room) with cultural artifacts from the childhood of Generation X. http://ebay.com/

I have been to e-bay many a time. The major problem is the Museum does not pay for artifacts. They rely on donations. If they give me a budget then yes I can buy on e-bay, but they don't or if they do it will be for one or two things. Museum = no money

i too have my old GPKs stickers. i thought of selling them on eBay about a year ago, but they weren't fetching a lot of $$. so i held on to them. maybe now they'll be worth more.

Visit the site of the guy who drew every GPK.

I was in Wal-Mart yesterday. In addition to GI Joe Legos (not by Lego) which were pretty wierd, they had re-introduced M.U.S.C.L.E.

Way cool.

YES! My childhood revisited.

Okay I'm not really that excited.


/back to sleep

Is he now? Does she now?

/well I never.

I had the complete 3rd and 4th series of GPK

I had the whole collection of M.U.S.C.L.E men including the checklBoobieser. I quit collecting them when they abandoned their "default" pink color.

I wore a pair of those spandex bike shorts once and never did again.

The earlier craze a few years before that was Jams, aka "bermuda" shorts. Holla if you remember those.

Those were about the same time period as parachute pants. You had to have them in black. "Fags" with blue parachute pants got beat up.

checkleBoobieser = CHECKLBoobiesER

uh make that checklist.poster

i had all the old ones when i was little now im gonna get all the new ones on wednesday me and my dad bought a box. BTW the gum is tasty

"I had the whole collection of M.U.S.C.L.E men"

I always thought M.U.S.C.L.E. looked retarded until I was watching XPLAY a few weeks ago and found out there's a character in the game called "Dik Dik Van Dik" who says: "It must be the Dik Dik in me!"

Now that I know that, it gets my vote!

I thought they were called the garbage gang kids...stupid australia

M.U.S.C.L.E.s were great!
