Blast from the Odd Rod Past

Man, I CANNOT believe I found these - though I don't know why I am surprised.

The paper thin, tile hard piece of powdered gum that came with each pack of these cards was awful but the stickers were so damn cool it never mattered one bit. Me and my buddies didn't have baseball cards we had Odd Rod stickers. Click on the link to see more. These were extremely popular in the mid-60's.

These look like R. Crumb designs? (ie, Keep on Truckin)One of my favorite pop artists.

Perhaps the forerunner of Garbage Pail Kids? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garbage_Pail_Kids

Talia,

I Googled Garbage Pail kids and do see a similarity in style.

Gross, obnoxious characters ... all good qualities.

Thanks for stopping by.
