Three Stooges Three Dimensional Stickers
Not sure what lame brain calls puffy stickers "Three Dimensional" (ahem! Norman Maurer, ahem!) but it's definitely depicting The Three Stooges here-- I think! Hilariously off-model renditions of everyone's favorite ultra violent silver screen knuckleheads, caricatured in a variety of wacky ways, one that definitely borrows from the 1965 Cambria Studios animated series version, and the others, well, I'm not exactly sure about, though the stickers are dated 1980 which was just 2 years after The Robonic Stooges, so who knows. And what's the story on that fish, anybody know? All I can say is that every time I look at the astoundingly barrel bottom Larry and Curly on the yellow header card below-- I wanna poke my own eyes out! Nyuk nyuk nyuk!
They stick on anything! Man I love chintzy, off-model pop culture. It's just so callous!
ReplyDeleteI like how they put chef hats on them on the one header card
ReplyDeleteThe way they drew the chin on Larry on the header cards it made him look more like Stan Laurel than Larry Fine. Maybe the artist got the two mixed up?
ReplyDeleteGood point JMR!
DeleteI'm not really a fan of the 3-stooges, but man these are great
ReplyDeleteYeah yeah, I know... you're more into The Golden Girls
ReplyDeleteWell gosh, if we're gonna be playing "Favorite Threes" I'm much more of a musketeer man, myself.
ReplyDeleteyou are soooooo hilarious
ReplyDeleteI think these are by the same unnamed Taiwanese company that made stickers of Harvey Comics characters. The artwork is just as off-model. I posted one of my Richie Rich sets just now on my own blog, take a look and see if you agree:

Haha those are great, Jonster! And I'm sure you're correct-- thanks for posting!
