You're A Fright for Sore Eyes!
Digging around in a big box of non sports trading cards recently, and found a great Insult Postcard put out by Topps in 1966. The full card set originally came with 32 different front illustrations (see them all HERE), and a variety of different backside images as well, with artwork created by Wally Wood and Dan Adkins.
I love this. It doesn't look all that much like Wally or Dan Adkins to me. They've combined into some mutant third thing! (Well, the back looks a lot like both of them.) I'd love to see a children's book done like this.
ReplyDeletehaha!! Love the postcard. I have friends that would love to receive one of these.
ReplyDelete@Mr C --Only a few from the set seem to be clearly / identifiably Wood, though it's possible they collaborated so hard on it that yes, a whole new artistic monster hath been born! I believe we are all the better for it too!
ReplyDeleteWhat's your favorite card, Holli?
