418a LUCY LOCK-IT = Lucy Locket; an 1842 nursery rhyme title. def'n: Locket — A small ornamental case, often hinged, of gold, silver, etc., for holding a picture or a lock of hair. def'n: Lock — A means of fastening doors, boxes, etcetera, consisting of a bolt and usually needing a key of special shape to open it. 418b SHUT UP SHIRLEY — Shirley; SH forename to go with the phrase 'shut up'. def'n: Shut up — To shut the doors, windows, etc., of. informal. Stop talking; stop from talking. def'n: Shut — Close by bringing parts together. To close. BITS & BOBS: — Pound's nagging-wife gag was one of several approved concepts by Topps that John executed for the OS11 set. The image shows a closs-up portrait shot of a character's hinged chin and padlocked mouth, looking quite cross at being 'shut up'/closed. A padlock is a portable lock (usually) with a shackle. To liven up the image, Pound dressed the character in a bright yellow, sleeveless dress, with outlined blue flower petals & pink dots, a beaded necklace, and a blue hairbow tied around a single strand/'lock' of yarn hair. — Although the 'Lucy locket' name eludes to a hinged locket, the 'lock-it' (up and throw away the key) re-spelling cleverly gives it a double meaning. The nomenclature pays tribute to an 1842 nursury rhyme title, in which one modern version of 'Lucy Locket' goes, "Lucy Locket lost her pocket, Kitty Fisher found it; Not a penny was there in it, Only ribbon round it.", where the two high-society ladies, per Wiki, may have been two celebrated courtesans of the time of Charles II. The 'pocket' refers to a pouch worn around the waist by women in the 17th to 19th centuries through a waistline opening allowing access to the pocket. — In 2015, Topps released a 30th Anniversary set, aka 2015 Series 2 ('2015S2'), which contained a twenty-card subset executed by artist MARK Pingitore titled 'Zoom-Out Stickers', that took the original portrait-shot artwork of ten different characters and extended (zoomed out) the images to full body shots to add additional humour. Mark extended the sundress & pattern, added CPK shoes to match the necklace colour, and keyring-like hands with key-like fingers so that the character could attempt to unlock their locked-up mouth.

419a MEG-A-VOLT = Megavolt. def'n: Mega — One million. def'n: Volt — The unit of electromotive force. def'n: Voltage — Electromotive force expressed in volts. A current of high voltage is used in transmitting electric power of long distances. 419b CHARGED MARGE — Rhyme; the forename Marge with the word 'charge+d'. def'n: Charged — Having an electric charge: the electron is a charged particle. def'n: Charge — Give an electric charge to. BITS & BOBS: — Pound's mega-shock gag, titled 'UMBILICAL PLUGGED IN' & marked as '11 - REV', was one of several approved concepts by Topps that John executed for the OS11 set, per his production notes, although without earlier thumbnails or sketch concepts, it is currently unknown what revision had taken place. Pound's wall socket, seen quite a bit within the OS1 release, makes a nice reappearance. The infants umbilical 'cord' can be seen plugged into the wall outlet like an electrical cord; a power line or cable that connects an appliance, etc., to an electricity supply. The electrically shocked character's plug-in shows sparks, most likely caused by faulty wiring, but can also occur when overloading the circuit. The character's body is fully splayed, a gust of 'wind' coming out the posterier end causing the character to be airborn, 'fried' smoke coming out of both ears, and a wagging tongue showcasing that the character's senses are no longer all quite there. The electric shock outline is reminiscent of the OS1 4a/b & OS2 53a/b characters.

420a SPANKED HANK — Rhyme; the forename Hank with the word 'spank+ed'. def'n: Spank — To strike, esp. on the buttocks, with the open hand or a flat object. A blow with the open hand; slap. 420b SPIKEY SONDRA = Spikey son. def'n: Spik(e)y — Having spikes; set with sharp, projecting points. Having the shape of a spike. informal. Being easily offended, defensive. BITS & BOBS: — Warhola's spank-machine gag was one of several approved concepts by Topps that James executed for the OS11 set. The character can be seen being spanked and adapting quite nicely, with protective countermeasures, to their disciplinary action. The businessman father appears to have arrived home after work to administer the proper punishment, or the imposition of painful consequences. One would suspect that the diaper would offer sufficient padding to a walloping, but the apparently unbeknownst parent does not see or sense the embedded spikes, leaving a bloody massacre on the walls, shirt and couch. — Per Warhola's tight pencil sketch for the character, the art direction notes state,"Ass more central, more bigg[er] down and to the left. Steeper angle to hand, 3/4 view. Less p[au]nch. Less kid more diaper, puffy cheeks out." The wooden chair was changed to a livingroom couch for the final artwork, the kid's bottom became more centralized and bigger, the hand placement changed (for both characters), and the father lost his beer belly. The many 'smarted' stars were removed from around the hand, but two pens were added to the father's business shirt, and cracks and joints to the character's body, per GPK model chart at the time.

421a GROOVY GREG — Greg: GR name to go with the word groovy. def'n: Groovy —slang. First-rate; excellent; perfect. def'n: Groove — A long narrow channel or furrow, especially one cut by a tool. To be fashionable, up-to-date. To make a groove in. 421b COMBIN' HARRY = Combing hair. def'n: Comb — Piece of metal, plastic, etc., with teeth, used to arrange the hair. def'n: Hair — A fine, threadlike, pigmented growth from the skin of people and animals. BITS & BOBS: — Pound's hairstyling gag titled 'COMBING INTO SCALP', rather than 'combing through hair', marked as '11 - REV', was one of several approved concepts by Topps that John executed for the OS11 set, per his production notes. Without earlier thumbnails or sketch concepts, it is currently unknown what revision took place, but the addition of 'ALT - BRUSH IN OTHER HAND?' question, per tight pencil artwork, helps explain that the brush was added over a previous hair instrument. Although Pound's pieces are missing the GPK model chart cracks & hinges for his submissions, this particular concept would not work as a hardened doll. The comb is acting like a farm plough and placing deep narrow cuts into the character's scalp. Unlike "Weird Al" Yankovic's 1983 song, Such a Groovy Guy, this style is less about 80's attire, hairstyles & cool moves, and more about dire straits and deep grooves, aka self mutilation.

422a SHERI COLA = Cherry cola. def'n: Cherry — A small, round, edible, juicy fruit. Cherry-flavoured. def'n: Cola — A carbonated soft drink flavoured with the cola nut extract. 422b ALL NIGHT DINAH = All night diner. def'n: All — The whole of. def'n: Night — The time between evening and morning. def'n: Diner — Person who is eating dinner. A restaurant. BITS & BOBS: — Pound's soda-fountain gag was one of several approved concepts by Topps that John executed for the OS11 set. The image portrays a character partaking in a chilled, refreshing soda fountain drink via sipping straw. However, the brownish cola drink is being served within a questionably non-hygienic, miniaturized porcelain toilet. Per the addition of a napkin dispenser and stirring spoon, the concept atmosphere was taken directly from GPK Poster #1, Drink Garbage Pail Kola, also painted by Pound, and released in mid-May of 1986. Both pieces contain the same tablecloth, toilet w/ straw(s) & lemon wedge, green booth, and grey mid-level curtains, with a sign in the background. More information can be located within the GPK Poster Set page. This is the first Pound character in the set with cracks.

423a HUNGRY IVAN = Hungry eye. def'n: Hungry — Having a strong desire or craving. def'n: Eye — The part of the body by which human beings and animals see; organ of light. 423b SY STY — Rhyme; the forename Sy with the word 'sty'. def'n: Sty — A small, painful, inflamed swelling on the edge of the eyelid. BITS & BOBS: — Pound's sty-stigma gag was one of several approved concepts by Topps that John executed for the OS11 set. The image portrays a character with excessive red eyes, happily feeding his open-mouthed eyeball 'EYE DROPS'. Common ingredients in eye drops include: Polyethylene glycol, Polyvinyl alcohol, Propylene glycol, CMC, Povidone, Glycerine, Mineral oil, etcetera ... not sure how nutritional this stuff is. It's interesting to note that the dark background between the eye dropper, thumb & pointer remains 'black' (or dark) over the GPK banner logo on the card image; this could have been changed to a white area. — After the lawsuit with Original Appalachian Artworks ('OAA') over CPK dolls, Topps had proactively trademarked the title 'The Garbage Gang' in April of 1987, which showed up for the first time on the OS9 reverse card backs, just in case the GPK name had to be changed, and was used for international releases from that point on, or rather, a translated version. Most of these releases had a trademark line similar to the Hebrew release, albeit, usually shorter: "[©] 1987 Topps Chewing Gum, Inc. TM The Garbage Gang is a trademark of and is licensed by Topps Chewing Gum, Inc." Mattel acquired the licensing rights to CPK in 1994.

424a RAINY STORM = Rain storm. def'n: Rain storm — Storm with much rain. def'n: Storm — A strong wind with rain, hail, snow, or thunder and lightning. 424b LIGHTNING LINDA — Linda; L name to go with the word lightning. def'n: Lightning — Flash of light in the sky caused by a discharge of electricity between clouds. BITS & BOBS: — Bunk's bad-luck gag was one of several approved concepts by Topps that Tom executed for the OS11 set. The image portrays a character who has opened an umbrella on a clear, blue-sky day. Perhaps the cultural belief of opening an umbrella indoors that is associated with bad luck is even worse if you open an umbrella outside under good weather conditions. To add insult to literal damage, not only is it pouring rain, the character is also being struck by a small bolt of lightning, causing a major crack to run down the front of their face. And even worse, there's a sad soggy dog sitting right next to her. Per Bunk's colour rough artwork, the cityscape in the background & horizon were lowered in the artwork to bring more focus to the character. The clothes and shoe colours were changes, as well as the colour of the other kid in the background, along with the pooch sitting in the puddle. — After the lawsuit with Original Appalachian Artworks ('OAA') over CPK dolls, Topps had proactively trademarked the title 'The Garbage Gang' in April of 1987, which showed up for the first time on the GPK Movie press release as "Featuring The Garbage Gang™", on the OS9 & OS10 retailer ad posters, as a banner logo on the OS9 reverse card backs, and was used for international releases from that point on, or in the least, a very rough translation of it. Most of these releases had a trademark line similar to the Italian release, albeit, they removed 'Garbage Pail Kids' from the old trademark and added [The] Garbage Gang to the line: "© 1986 Topps Chewing Gum, Inc. GARBAGE GANG is a trademark of and is licensed by Topps Chewing Gum, Inc." The date really should state 1987, the OS11 cards weren't even created until late 1987, and the 1986 refers to the Garbage Pail Kids title. NOTE: since most international releases work with the final U.S. card image, the black rectangle was placed over the artwork & existing banner.

425a DENNY SAUR = Dinosaur. def'n: Dinosaur — Any of two orders of extinct reptiles, in many species reaching an enormous size, that dominated during the Mesozoic era. 425b RIP TILE = Reptile. def'n: Reptile — Any of a class of cold-blooded vertebrates that usually have skin covered with dry horny plates or scales. Of or like a reptile. BITS & BOBS: — Warhola's rest-stop gag was one of several approved concepts by Topps that James executed for the OS11 set. The character can be seen taking a quick break from stomping through a cityscape, relieving itself and peeing on a fire hydrant-shaped building. Warhola's colour concept shows that the surprised-looking, green reptilian was changed to more of a Brontosaurus brown, or tan-like skin, to humanize the large creature, with a big smiling grin. Several floating humans were also added to the flooding waters from the flow of urination. — Per Spiegelman's rough 'thumbnail' sketch, the same outline of the character can be seen, lifting it's back leg to urinate, a smile upon its face. The art director suggested a "Hydrant."-shaped, smaller building, and a human in the water—or possibly in the rowbot—that can be made out. Additional direction pointed out that the water should be "very green pee", "green or blue", so the river of piss was painted blue and the dinosaur painted green at Warhola's colour rough stage. Warhola also had several case-study sketches of the character from different angles and from different view points. The bottom right image feels more Kid-like, overall.

426a QUENCHING QUINCY — Quincy; Q forename to go with the word 'quench+ing'. def'n: Quench — To drown out; put out; water quenched the fire. 426b SQUIRTIN' BURTON — Rhyme; the forename Burton with the word 'squirt+ing'. def'n: Squirt — To force out (liquid) through a narrow opening. Wet or soak by shooting liquid in a jet or stream. Come out in a jet or stream. BITS & BOBS: — Bennett's retching gag was the only approved concepts by Topps that James executed for the OS11 set; this may have been the concept that the artist was tested out on, due to its simpler subject matter and composition. Bennett would be back for three more images for the OS12 GPK release. The image portrays a character, in the shape of a fire extinquisher, spewing vomit out of its mouth in order to put out a fire. The hose and nozzle have been removed from the inanimate object, since a mouth has been placed on the canister's sur'face'. The character looks quite surprised to be assisting with extinguishing the flames. The flat fire extinquisher cabinet with "IN CASE OF FIRE — BREAK GLASS" cover, would normally have an attached 'hammer' hanging from a chain in order to break the glass.

427a RIPPED FLETCH = Ripped flesh. def'n: Rip — To tear or become torn apart. To remove by pulling or tearing roughly. To remove quickly or violently. def'n: Flesh — The soft outer-laying tissue of the body. 427b TAPED TATE — Semi-rhyme; the forename Tate with the word 'tape+d'. def'n: Tape — A long, narrow, flexible strip of material, such as adhesive tape. To fasten, wrap, or bind with tape. BITS & BOBS: — Bunk's ripped-tape gag was one of several approved concepts by Topps that Tom executed for the OS11 set. The image shows a character having placed pressure-sensitive tape along his scalp & face and is in the process of ripping the adhesive tape off of his head & face, causing his skin & nose to be removed along with an eyeball. The image portrays skin remnants flying off his face and a 'smart' star, a symbol often seen on the pages of comics or within cartoon scenes to show a 'sharp stinging pain'. Per Bunk's original colour rough for the concept, the tape dispenser is in the same Scottish tartan pattern as the Scotch® tape brand, often used as the generic 'scotch tape' term, similar to Band-Aid® adhesive bandages ('plasters' in Europe), or the European countries that use Sellotape®, seen as 'Spellotape' in the Harry Potter books. The tape dispenser has been changed to a solid red colour for the final artwork, the green colour having been moved to some added pants for the character. The yellow background & blue t-shirt have been switched for the final artwork piece, and the leg stance switched up a bit.

428a LOTTA LITTER = Lot(s) of litter. def'n: Lot — A number of things, often lots. A large amount or number. def'n: Of — From the total or group comprising. def'n: Litter — Carelessly scattered scraps of waste material. To make untidy by discarding rubbish carelessly. 428b GARBAGE MOUTH GILBERT — Gilbert; G forename to go with the words 'garbage + mouth'. Garbage mouth — A slang term for 'potty mouth', 'dirty mouth, or 'filthy mouth'. def'n: Garbage — Waste material. Worthless matter; trash. def'n: Mouth — To put, take, or move around in the mouth. The opening through which a container is filled or emptied. BITS & BOBS: — Pound's garbage mouth gag was one of several approved concepts by Topps that John executed for the OS11 set. The image portrays an inanimate character, in the form of a garbage truck, with a mouthful of garbage, a literal 'garbage mouth'. It is unknown if the garbage truck was modeled after a specific type of orange-coloured waste disposal vehicle, but there are a variety of models (flat-nosed, long-nosed, six wheels, ten wheels, etcetera), and Pound most likely & greatly simplified the design to basically get the overall concept across. The inanimate object appears to be very happy with their intake of various dietary supplements and roughage.

429a LAUNDRY MATT = Laundromat. def'n: Laundromat — An establishment with washing machines and dryers. def'n: Laundry — Soiled or laundered clothes. A place where laundering is done. 429b DRIP-DRY DRU — Dru: DR forename to go with the term 'drip-dry'. def'n: Drip — To fall or let fall in drops. def'n: Dry — Free or freed from liquid or moisture. BITS & BOBS: — Bunk's hand-wrung clothes gag was one of several approved concepts by Topps that Tom executed for the OS11 set. The image shows a character in the process of being wringed out, the process of twisting a cloth or piece of clothing with both hands to remove water. The overwrought and overwrung character has their hand-wringing extremities in twisted directions and their tongue sticking out. The water may be hotter than usual, due to the summer day, and you can just make out colour dye, purple & blue, running off of and dripping from the character's clothes. The clothesline in the background has several pieces of clothing hanging from it, including an upside down human, possibly the washer woman's husband. Per Bunk's colour rough, the character's clothing colour has changed, along with the woman's attire, sans apron, and style of purple top. Flying sweat has also been removed from the woman's teeth-gritting face. The 'grit your teeth' idiom means to press your top and bottom teeth together, often in anger or determination.

430a TASTE BUD = Taste bud. def'n: Taste bud — Any of numerous nests of cells on the tongue that are primarily responsible for the sense of taste. 430b SALIVATIN' SAL — Sal; S forename that is part of the word 'salivate+ing'. def'n: Salivate — To secrete or produce saliva. def'n: Saliva — The watery fluid secreted into the mouth by the salivary glands. BITS & BOBS: — Pound's taste-buds gag was one of several approved concepts by Topps that John executed for the OS11 set. The image portrays a character using his strong, long tongue to reach a red sucker, by burrowing his tongue through his left nostril and over through and out of his left ear canal. It is a common myth that the tongue is the strongest muscle in the body, so I'm not sure it would be able to create a tunnel from the nose to the ear. Also, the average human tongue length for adults is 3.2 inches (8.5 cm), where the character's tongue looks to be 3—4x this length. The character's salivating glands are in full force, showing saliva dripping out of the mouth, and quite a bit of sucker drool on the character's necktie and shirt sleeve, as well as a bit of snot on the tongue close to the nostril, and earwax on the other end. The red sucker and striped shirt is reminiscent of a candy striper.

431a POLLUTIN' NEWTON — Rhyme; the forename Newton with the word 'pollute+ing'. def'n: Pollute — To make impure or unclean; contaminate. 431b EMPTY HEAD JED — Rhyme; the forename Jed with the word (empty) 'head'. def'n: Empty — Containing nothing. To make or become empty. def'n: Head — The upper or anterior bodily extremity. BITS & BOBS: — Bunk's water-in-the-ear gag was one of several approved concepts by Topps that Tom executed for the OS11 set. The image shows a character attempting to unclog his ear canal and dislodge water, but along with the water flows out a plethora of sea and beachfront items, such as: a small anchor, starfish, empty tin, tuna & soda cans, a human skull with swimmer's cap, fish bones & bones, tennis shoe, shelfish, seaweed, etcetera. Per Bunk's colour rough comparisons, the original concept did not contain a lighthouse in the background, birds in the sky, and the character had joints on his arms. The sailboat, shark fins, sand bucket, and human skeleton coming out of the water remained for all three iterations. Palm trees were added to the character's swimming trunks, that changed colours a few times, and the more alarmed face became more of a surprised face for the final artwork.

432a PACKED MAC — Rhyme; the forename Mac with the word 'pack+ed'. def'n: Pack — To stow luggage or belongings for transportation or storage. To crowd together tightly, cram. To compact firmly. 432b SUE CASE = Suitcase. def'n: Suitcase — A rectangular and flat piece of luggage. def'n: Case — A container or receptacle. BITS & BOBS: — Warhola's bag-of-brains gag was one of several approved concepts by Topps that James executed for the OS11 set. The character can be seen being carried along a passageway by a traveler or passenger, possibly through an airport or train station. The businessman is double-fisting a red suitcase and a brown carpet bag; a traveling bag of a type originally made of thick woven fabric/carpet, with a large upper frame opening and handles. This item and profession eludes to the term 'carpetbagging' within commerce; any short-term involvement in a business venture for the purpose of making a quick profit, especially by nefarious means. The happy-go-lucky carpet bag character can be seen with their brains spilling out of the top of the head area and bag opening. — Per Spiegelman's rough 'thumbnail' sketches, via Garbage Archive, and 'suit'-case study, A full-body character was tight-sketched into the shape of a regular 'SUITCASE', along with a small tighter sketch of a 'carpet bag, just head' underneath this. With the bag character only being a head, it feeds into the gag that the bag is stuffed with brains and yellowish brain matter is spilling out. The single tooth from the suitcase sketch made it over to the final artwork for the carpet bag character.

433a PORCELAIN LYNN — Semi-rhyme; the forename Lynn with the word 'porcelain'. def'n: Porcelain — A hard, white, translucent ceramic. An object made of porcelain. 433b ARLENE LATRINE — Rhyme; the forename Arlene with the word 'latrine'. def'n: Latrine — A communal toilet. def'n: Toilet — A disposal apparatus used for urination and defecation. BITS & BOBS: — Warhola's flashy-trashy gag was one of several approved concepts by Topps that James executed for the OS11 set. The character can be seen sashaying down a fashion runway, showing off this season's fashion statement of lowbrow trashiness, a la Prêt-à-Porter, non-ready wear. The character has two child-sized pink toilets as shoe attire, which have not been cleaned out, so remnants of fecal and urine can be seen on the legs, sides, and floor along the stretch of the runway. An unwrapped roll of toilet paper is wrapped around the bust and bottom of the character, in a quickly wrapped impression of a two-piece garment. The outfit is topped by an upside down white toilet with tank, also showing usage, with pee stains and drips of 'blue tablet' liquid. The character is holding a toilet brush as a cheap accessory and is posing for the audience and flashing cameras for fashion editorials and best-dressed lists, but most likely, worst-dressed lists.

434a HOLLY DAZE = (Christmas) Holidays. def'n: Holiday — A day free from work, a day set aside to celebrate a particular event. A holy day. A vacation (UK). def'n: Daze — To stun or confuse. To dazzle. 434b JOYOUS NOEL = Joyous noel. def'n: Noel — Christmas. A Christmas carol. def'n: Joy — A feeling of great pleasure of happiness. A source of pleasure. def'n: Joyous — Joyful. BITS & BOBS: — Bunk's leg-less gag was one of several approved concepts by Topps that Tom executed for the OS11 set. The image shows a character reaching out for their miraculous stocking stuffer of a present. Of course, the subject matter pays tribute to the Tiny Tim character from A Christmas Carol. Instead of an artificial leg to replace his single crutch, the character has received another peron's (or their own) cut-off leg in a used, worn-out stocking. Per Bunk's regular and mirror-image colour roughs, minus a the missing floor blanket, along with clothing & gift colour changes, and the brick fireplace becoming a stone fireplace, the concept remained pretty much same for the final artwork piece, except the character is now facing left-->right and the stocking moved to the right-hand side. A bit of dripping snot has also been added to the character's nostril and the tree & wreath decorated; from poor to middle-class perhaps.

435a LONDON BRIDGET = London Bridge; A bridge once located in London, England. def'n: Bridge — A structure spanning and providing a way across an obstacle. 435b TOXIC WES = Toxic waste. def'n: Toxic — Poisonous. Of or caused by a poison or toxin. def'n: Waste — A worthless or useless by-product; refuse. The undigested residue of food eliminated from the body. BITS & BOBS: — Bunk's mass-pollution gag was one of several approved concepts by Topps that Tom executed for the OS11 set. The image displays a character's head in the shape of a walking bridge, where the gaping mouth forms the negative space below and is open to the flow of the polluted waters below, as the character looks upon the atrocity. Giant grey smokestacks with billowing clouds of black smoke sit on the horizon while a pile of dumped garbage sits in the background and floats in the water, covering up part of the GPK logo (on the card image). The mirky waters and non-scenery foreground showcases toxic barrels, dead fish, skeletons, mice, dolls & teddy bear, broken TV, danger sign, discarded tire, tin cans & bottles, etcetera. Per Bunk's original colour roughs, a single tooth was removed from the character's mouth and his worrisome eyes, but more cracks were added to the sur'face' of the bridge and a second drainage pipe to the embankment. The layout would have worked as either horizontal or vertical, but the vertical layout allowed more space for the flow of 'vomit'.

436a SCALDIN' ALDEN — Rhyme; the forename Alden with the word 'scald+ing'. def'n: Scald — To burn with or as with hot liquid or steam. To subject with boiling water. An injury caused by scalding. To wash with hot water. 436b STEAMY MIMI — Rhyme; the forename Mimi with the word 'steam+y'. def'n: Steam — The vapor or phase of water. To expose to steam. BITS & BOBS: — Pound's going-going-gone gag titled 'WASH HANDS / MELT IN SINK', marked as '11 - REV', was one of several approved concepts by Topps that John executed for the OS11 set, per his production notes. Without earlier thumbnails or sketch concepts, it is currently unknown what revision took place. Although Pound's pieces are missing the model chart cracks & hinges for his many submissions, this particular concept would not work as a hardened doll. The character can be seen diligently washing their hands under scalding hot water, to the point that the character's hands are dissolving and running down the drain. The steamy sauna atmosphere may have caused the character to feel a bit hazy & lazy, with their eyes half-lidded and no real concern about the state of their liquifying extremities.

437a SLICED BRAD = Sliced bread; as in the saying '... the best thing since sliced bread'. def'n: Slice — A thin, broad piece cut from a larger object. To cut or divide with or as if with a knife. def'n: Bread — A food made from flour, etc, kneaded and baked. 437b DEAD LEE = Deadly. def'n: Deadly — Causing or capable of causing death. Suggesting death. To an extreme. BITS & BOBS: — Warhola's sliced-in-half gag was one of several approved concepts by Topps that James executed for the OS11 set. The character can be seen being sliced in half by a flying frisbee. Per Wiki, "The term frisbee is often used generically to describe all flying discs, but Frisbee is a registered trademark of the Wham-O toy company." The character is extremely shocked to have jumped up in the air to catch the frisbee and has found himself in two separate halves. Per Warhola's tight colour rough, the character's hair was changed from golden blond to auburn brown colour, and instead of the one letter, the baseball cap now displays the 'GPK' acronym, and the birds removed from the sky. The piece was seemingly art directed by Mark Newgarden, stating, "OOMF!" for the face, "RAZOR SHARP, MAYBE [A] SAWBLADE, OR JUST [A] REGULAR FRISBEE?", and Warhola made several notations, including, "A little - bring..." for the frisbee, and "bring forward", where the frisbee was definitely brought forward for the final artwork, and a "little less blood", where more shirt particles were added around the destructive disc rather than blood droplets. The nomenclature 'Sliced Brad or Dead Lee' was also suggested by the artist, and subsequently used for the card images.

438a HALLIE WEEN = Hallowe'en. def'n: Halloween — October 31st, the eve of all saints day. All hallows eve. 438b TRICK OR TRICIA = Trick or treat; a Hallowe'en phrase for obtaining candy. def'n: Trick — A practical joke; prank. def'n: Treat — Gift of food, drink, or amusement. Snack. BITS & BOBS: — Bunk's tricked gag was one of several approved concepts by Topps that Tom executed for the OS11 set. The character can be seen happily receiving a bag full of barf as their treat turned to trick. A little goblin-like trick-or-treater is patiently waiting his turn. An open tin can, fish bones, an apple core, and small bone can be made out within the stream of vomit. A Christmas candy cane can be seen poking out of the witch character's pocket. Per Bunk's original colour rough, the shoe colour was changed from red to green, the pumkin trick-or-treater was changed to the goblin-like character, objects were added to the pouring puke, a blue bow added to the character's ponytail, electrical lines in the background were removed, and the pumpkin head symbol on the trick-or-treat bag was changed to a sketelon-and-bones toxic symbol. Per Bunk's tight pencil artwork, the human vomiting had ears appearing within the image.

439a JACK SPLAT — Rhyme; the forename Jack with the word 'splat'. def'n: Splat — A slapping noise. 439b ABSTRACT ART = Abstract art(work). def'n: Abstract — In art, using forms or designs that have little or no connection with objective or observable reality. def'n: Art — Works, such as paintings. BITS & BOBS: — Bunk's abstract gag was one of several approved concepts by Topps that Tom executed for the OS11 set. The character can be seen puking over their artwork canvas placed on the floor, with finished pieces propped up in the background. Compared to Bunk's original colour rough artwork, the paint can being held was removed, the paint splotches on the head and pants were removed, the character is actually stepping on the artwork canvas, and several paint cans and bottles were removed from the floor's background—to possibly free up the space—and items in the foreground were also removed. The second colour rough had one art direction notation, "back. grey", but the background remained yellow with cement blocks, similar to the orange brick wall. — The JACK Splat character & nomenclature is most like a tribute to American painter (Paul) Jackson Pollock, born in 1912 and passed away in 1956. Per Wiki, the artist was a "major figure within the abstract expressionist movement", and was widely known for his 'drip technique' of pouring and/or splashing liquid (household) paint onto a horizontal canvas. Pollock was introduced to the use of liquid paint in 1936 at an experimental workshop in NYC by Mexican muralist David Alfaro Siqueiros. This may be the reason that most of the household paint cans were removed from the finished artwork, which also draws your attention to the subject matter.

440a BERT SQUIRT — Rhyme; the forename Bert with the word 'squirt'. def'n: Squirt — To eject. A liquid squirted. 440b FRITZIE ZITS — Rhyme; the forename Fritz-ie with the word 'zit+s'. def'n: Zit — slang. for Acne, Pimple. def'n: Acne — An inflammatory disease of the oil glands, characterized by pimples, especially on the face. BITS & BOBS: — Pound's popped zit gag was one of several approved concepts by Topps that John executed for the OS11 set. Most of Pound's pieces are missing the model chart cracks & hinges for his submissions, this particular concept would not work as a hardened doll, although, this character does have some small cracks on his head for some mysterious reason, considering pus is a semi-liquid. The character can be seen being expelled and popped out of a clogged pore, and to add insult to facial injury, the popped pimple has it's own popped ooze coming from his own noggin area. As with most GPK, the character looks quite blissful and happy about its questionable circumstances.

441a LOOSE LEIF = Loose leaf; non-notebook paper, not spiral. def'n: Loose — Not fastened or secured. Not bound, packaged, or gathered together. def'n: Leaf — One of the sheets constituting the pages of a book. 441b COMPOSITION BOOKER = Composition book. def'n: Composition — The act or product of composing a literar or artistic work. A short essay. def'n: Book — A written or printed literary work. BITS & BOBS: — Warhola's loose-leaf binder gag was one of several approved concepts by Topps that James executed for the OS11 set. The character can be seen having been placed within a three-ring binder, as if they were a sheet of loose-leaf paper, with a binder ring piercing an eye hole, the midriff region, and the lower leg area. Several GPK OS9 characters can be seen pasted to the inside cover of the blue binder: 349a Polluted PERCY & 349b Barnacle BILL and 368a NAT Splat & 368b Jugglin' JUD by artist TOM Bunk, and 354a CLARK Shark & 354b MANNY Eater by artist John POUND, all with GPK banners instead of the curved logo. The Garbage Pail Kids acronym, 'GPK' can be seen carved into the top of the school desk, along with two tic-tac-toe games, a doodle of the student's 'TEACHER', a declaration that 'DONNA IS A ...', and an arithmetic problem gone awry, '5+2=10', instead of '7'. — Per Speigelman's original rough 'thumbnail' sketch, which is a very loose drawing of the loose-leaf character, the 'LOOSE LEIF' nomenclature may have inspired the concept, since it was brought over so predominately to Warhola's tight pencil artwork (placed at the top of the artwork). The character's hands and a pencil were added at this stage, along with an extra No.2 pencil & a pink eraser, and the desk, book & papers. A single tooth was added to the character for the final artwork image, along with a few cracks & paper tears, and curled toes.

442a RUGGED ROY — Roy; R forename to go with the word 'rug+ged'. def'n: Rug — A piece of heavy fabric (or fur) used to cover a floor. def'n: Rugged — Having a rough, irregular surface. Tough. 442b BARE BARRY — Barry; a similar-sounding forename as the word 'bare'. def'n: Bare — Without the usual or appropriate covering or clothing. Syns: bare, bald, naked, nude. def'n: Bear — Any of various large mammals having a shaggy coat and a short tail. Bearskin, bear rug. BITS & BOBS: — Warhola's bear rug gag was one of several approved concepts by Topps that James executed for the OS11 set. The character can be seen sprawled and laid out on a (presumably) hunter's cabin's hardwood floor. Although wearing a diaper, the character has animalistic characteristics, such as a fanged mouth, and bear-like claws on all of its digits. The comedic Xs have been added to the eyes to show the character is 'long gone', a round bullet hole in the side of the head, another hole to the midsection of its body, with cracks added around these holes and to the feet; apparently, a taxidermist-in-training was picked, since the preservation job appears to be of poor quality. Per GPK model sheet, joints have also been added to the arm leg of the shot victim. A grizzly bear is standing upon the 'rug', holding a spit fork for heating up the hotdog... strangley, although the character has a hardened body, the bear is leaving weight indentations into the body of the character where the bear's feet are placed.

443a WET WHIT — Semi-rhyme; the forename Whit with the word 'wet'. def'n: Wet — Covered, moistened, soaked, or saturated with a liquid, especially water. To make or become wet. 443b WEE-WEE WILLIE — Willie; W forename to go with the combined word 'wee-wee'. def'n: Wee — Very small, tiny. Slang for pee or urine. BITS & BOBS: — Warhola's peeing-in-pool gag was one of several approved concepts by Topps that James executed for the OS11 set. The character can be seen sitting innocently within a kid's inflatable yard pool that has been peed in. Two other children can be seen sprinting away in shock & horror, along with a pet dog, and two pool toys looking concerned; a yellow rubber ducky and green innertube serpent. The grass around the pool has died, which shows that this has been a repeated offense. "Don't Pee or Poop on Lawn" signs can often be seen in neighborhoods because a dog's urine is very rich in nitrogen, which kills grass when concentrated amounts collect over time; and other dogs often mark the same territories or spots. The character is apparently not drinking the pool contents, because bright yellow urine is often associated with not drinking enough water. Warhola has also added a few cracks and holes on the arm and stomach of the character to abide by the GPK model chart.

444a FAIRY TALE DALE — Rhyme; the forename Dale with the words 'fairy tale'. def'n: Fairy tale — A story about fairies. A fictitious fanciful story. 444b NOSE DRIP SKIP — Rhyme; the forename Skip with the words 'nose drip'. def'n: Nose — The structure on the face that contains the nostrils. def'n: Drip — To fall or let fall in drops. To shed drops. BITS & BOBS: — Pound's tall tale gag was one of several approved concepts by Topps that John executed for the OS11 set. Most of Pound's pieces are missing the model chart cracks & hinges for his submissions, but this particular one contains both. Without earlier thumbnails or sketch concepts, it is currently unknown if any revisions took place. The character can be seen climbing an ever-flowing tower of his own snot, going above even the tallest buildings within a cityscape and heading up into the clouds. The image is emphasized by showing the earth's curvature, called the horizon, which is greatly visible when viewed from a high-rise building. The overall concept is a parody of "Jack and the Beanstalk", an English fairy tale. Although the attire is very fanciful, a mix of various styles, including the Robin Hood-esque hat and a German lederhosen outfit.

445a COLETTE COLDCUT — Semi-rhyme; the forename Colette with the word 'coldcut'. def'n: Cold cuts — Slices of assorted cold meats. 445b ELLIE DELI — Rhyme; the forename Ellie with the word 'deli'. def'n: Deli — informal. A delicatessen. A shop that sells freshly prepared foods ready for serving. BITS & BOBS: — Pound's gourmet tongue gag was one of several approved concepts by Topps that John executed for the OS11 set. Most of Pound's pieces are missing the model chart cracks & hinges for his submissions for some reason. Without earlier thumbnails or sketch concepts, it is currently unknown if any revisions took place. The character can be seen cutting up her own tongue, heavily salivating in anticipation of her unique 'warm'-cut & flatbread sandwich. The character had previously spread some 'POOP MUSTARD' in preperation, still seen on the end of the butter knife. The mustard sandwich spread is often pronounced as 'MUST-TURD' as a child's joke, and could be making reference to the French Dijon mustard, Grey Poupon.

446a MEAN MARLENE — Rhyme; the forename Marlene with the word 'mean'. def'n: Mean — Low in social status. Lacking elevating human qualities, as kindness and good will; petty. informal. Ill-tempered. slang. Hard to cope with. 446b PUNK ROCKY = Punk rock. def'n: Punk rock — A kind of music that is performed in a very loud, furious, and energetic style and whose songs often express violence and rudeness. def'n: Punk — A young hoodlum. Poor or bad in quality. BITS & BOBS: — Bunk's punk-rock gag was one of several approved concepts by Topps that Tom executed for the OS11 set. The character can be seen standing over their fallen victim, with a raised, broken-glass baby bottle, much like street gangs breaking bottles for battle (for cutting/maming purposes). The character has a set mean face, with both nostrils dripping, a safety pin in one ear, a spiked leather collar, spiked & gelled hair, a studded leather bracelet on their right arm & a spiked leather bracelet on their left arm, a studded leather belt with skull holding up their black leather diapers, black leather boots, and holding a teddy bear with several arrows shot into it (including the eye). One would hope the character is one-upping their babysitter and not a parent... the background shows a history of violence, having thrown something out of the playpen to smash through the back window, and having broken out of their wooden playpen. The character doesn't display any cracks or visible joints, per GPK model chart. — Per Bunk's colour rough artwork, the spiked leather collar was added, a band-aid on the character's head & kneecap was removed, a multi-spiked haircut (green, purple, yellow) was changed to a single spike, a tattoo on the character's right arm was removed, along with the many arrows within the teddy bear (missing his right leg), and the human lady's clothes and shoe colour was also changed, along with hardwood floors installed, and the door & wall colours changed.

447a GUSHING GARFIELD — Garfield; G forename to go with the word 'gush+ing'. def'n: Gush — To emit or flow forth suddenly and violently. 447b DRAINED BLAINE — Rhyme; the forename Blaine with the word 'drain+ed'. def'n: Drain — To make or become empty or dry. A pipe or channel by which liquid is drained off. BITS & BOBS: — Warhola's bloodletting gag was one of several approved concepts by Topps that James executed for the OS11 set; this would be the second fire-themed concept by Warhola, along with the fire extinguisher character. The fire-hydrant character can be seen with their pumper outlet removed and gushing their internal red blood, rather than the expected water; which would be the reason for the character's surprised look on their bonnet face. The image shows a city (or town) scene, with blood running down the street and down the body of the fire hydrant, and into a storm drain, with a crushed can sitting on the sidewalk. Urine can also be made out on the body of the fire hydrant, a telling sign that the character gets visited by many local dogs for their pitstop relief moments.

448a TOUCH TONI = Touch tone. def'n: Touch tone phone — A phone with buttons and a touch-tone dial. def'n: Touch — To put the hand, finger, or some other part of the body on or against. def'n: Tone — Any sound considered with reference to its qaulity, pitch, strength, source, etc. 448b PHONEY JONI — Rhyme; the forename Joni with the word 'phoney'. def'n: Phoney or Phony — Not genuine, counterfeit; fake. def'n: Phone — informal. Telephone. BITS & BOBS: — Bunk's prank phone-call gag was one of several approved concepts by Topps that Tom executed for the OS11 set. The character can be seen being shocked at being bitten by her own telephone receiver; the ear piece having a set of chompers and the mouth piece having a giant eyeball. The overall theme and concept is very reminiscent of the old AT&T jingle and slogan that started in the early 70s but really picked up in popularity during the 80s, 'Reach out and touch someone'. Per Bunk's colour rough and tight pencil artwork, the set of teeth size was decreased, the receiver was slighly rotated to show the eye better, along with the arm, the bow on top of the head and hairstyle changed, and the dress color changed, with an added stripe & bow. The 'mouth' also had a drop of blood added to it, the 'smart'-star (showing pain) & asterisk removed, and some freckles added to the character's face. — The first instance within the set where the nameplate for the A-card/name is red and the B-card/name is yellow. An overall extreme rare occurrence within the many GPK releases.

449a BERT FOOD = Bird food. def'n: Bird — Any of a class, Aves, of warm-blooded vertebrates that lay eggs, have a body covered with feathers, two legs, and the forelimbs modified to form wings. def'n: Food — Anything that animals or people eat or drink for growth. 449b GUTSY GUS — Semi-rhyme; the forename Gus with the word 'gutsy'. def'n: Gutsy or Gutty — slang. Full of guts; bold. def'n: Gut — intestines, stomach. slang. Courage. BITS & BOBS: — Bunk's feeding-the-pigeons gag was one of several approved concepts by Topps that Tom executed for the OS11 set. The character can be seen sitting on a park bench with an open torso and tossing his innards to the birds as birdfeed. The cityscape background and park setting remained the same, but per Bunk's original color rough artwork, the unzipped abdoman and chest was missing the ribcage, and an empty eyesocket can be 'seen' with the character's eyeball laying on the ground, along with the other organs and intestines. The character's extreme auburn colour, extreme bowl haircut was changed to a regular black hairdo, and the purple shoes changed to brown for the final artwork. The image also shows two dead birds, instead of one.

450a IKE SPIKE — Rhyme; the forename Ike with the word 'spike'. def'n: Spike — A large, heavy nail. To impale, pierce, or injure with a spike. 450b MASON MACE — Mason; similar sounding forename as the word 'mace'. def'n: Mace — A heavy medieval war club with a spiked metal head. BITS & BOBS: — Pound's swinging-mace gag was one of several approved concepts by Topps that John executed for the OS11 set. Most of Pound's pieces are missing the model chart cracks & hinges for his submissions for some reason. Without earlier thumbnails or sketch concepts, it is currently unknown if any revisions took place. The character can be seen swinging a very lage mace head around in circles in complete combat mode. The character's head itself is the mace instrument/weapon with a very death-in-his-eyes appearance. The barbarian-like character has a warrior outfit made out of leather, and quite a few spikes throughout. The spiked studed gloves appear to also work as brass knuckles when in a fist. Throwing a knee would also pierce the victim with a knee-cap spike, or a kick to the face would tenderize it quite nicely. A beaten opponent can be seen laying face down in the background with sword still in hand. There is an indentation spot in the neck region where the bottom spike of the mace fits nicely back on the body.

451a DESTROYED LLOYD — Rhyme; the forename Lloyd with the word 'destroy+ed'. def'n: Destroy — To ruin completely; demolish. To kill. 451b TINSIL TIM — Semi-rhyme; the forename Tim with the word 'tinsel'. def'n: Tinsel — Very thin sheets, strips, or threads of a glittering material used as a decoration. BITS & BOBS: — Bunk's body-part ornaments gag was one of several approved concepts by Topps that Tom executed for the OS11 set. The character can be seen with their body parts (head, torso, leg, two hands) dispersed around a Christmas tree acting as if ornaments, along with several organs (heart, liver or tongue, kidney, eyeball, a set of false teeth, brain); and a plethora of regular Christmas tree items, such as glass baubles, lit candles & candy canes; plus a few strange items, such as a lit bundle of dynamite sticks and a bone. The Christmas tree stand is extremely rustic, with no background or presents underneath, but several blood drops instead. Per Bunk's original colour rough artwork, cracks were added to the head, body & leg of the character, the single tooth removed, the glass baubles changed colours, the two candy pieces removed, and several items were added or slightly changed (dynamite, teeth, heart wrapped). — The second instance within the set where the nameplate for the A-card/name is red and the B-card/name is yellow. An overall extreme rare occurrence within the many GPK releases.

452a IMPALED GAIL — Rhyme; the forename Gail with the word 'impale+d'. def'n: Impale — To pierce with or as if with a sharp point. To torture or kill by impaling. 452b MAGIC WANDA = Magic wand. def'n: Magic — The art of controlling natural events, effects, or forces by invoking charms, spells, etc. def'n: Wand — A rod used by a magician, diviner, or conjurer. BITS & BOBS: — Warhola's fairy tale gag was one of several approved concepts by Topps that James executed for the OS11 set. The shocked character can be seen impaled by a unicorn horn; def'n Uni- prefix = one; having or consisting of one. The character is awkwardly holding a star-shaped wand that's bent, which is sending yellow sparkles & fairy dust floating down the artwork. The 'PAIL' part of the 'Garbage Pail Kids' banner logo was painted onto the irridescent wings of the fairy to interact with the GPK logo on the finished card image. Per Spiegelman's rough thumbnail sketch concept, per Garbage Archive, notes state "as sweet as can be", "rainbow" (x2), "Princess" and "sweet" around the image, along with the star-shaped wand tip and a set of fairy wings in green marker. NOTE: drawn on original Topps stationary.

453a DEAD END KIT = Dead end kid; as in the phrase 'dead end' job, going nowhere. def'n: Dead end — A passage that is closed at one end. An impasse. def'n: Kid — slang. A child. 453b SLIDIN' CLYDE — Rhyme; the forename Clyde with the word 'slide+ing'. def'n: Slide — To move or cause to move over a surface while maintaining continuous contact. To slip or skid. BITS & BOBS: — Warhola's railing slide gag was one of several approved concepts by Topps that James executed for the OS11 set. The horrified character can be seen sliding and flying down a wooden banister railing with no less than fifty sharp metal objects awaiting his arrival, including a wooden ax. The character has his hands & arms and awkward legs & feet secured around the stairwell railing with his hair flying upwards a bit from the motion. The focal point of the artwork is dead center, between both the character above and the impending carnage below. — The image, and A-card for the OS11 & OS12 sets, can be found within the 1992 The Garbage Gang set released in the UK that had a very interesting black & white border.

454a LYNCHED LYNDON — Semi-rhyme; the forename Lyndon with the word 'lynch+ed'. def'n: Lynch — To execute, especially to hang, without due process of law. 454b BRUCE NOOSE — Rhyme; the forename Bruce with the word 'noose'. def'n: Noose — A loop formed in a rope by means of a slipknot so that it binds tighter as the rope is pulled. BITS & BOBS: — Bunk's well-hung gag was one of several approved concepts by Topps that Tom executed for the OS11 set. The character can be seen looking down at his fallen body after his plastic head has detached from his body. The head attachment at the neck is very reminiscent of old doll-head attachments, possibly to appear less gruesome, considering the topic of suicide. The self-lynching with noose was accomplished by stepping up on a step stool-like object, or a small side table furniture piece, and proceeding to kick it out from underneath oneself. Per Bunk's original colour rough artwork, which remained pretty much the same, the desolate atmosphere had a few more dead trees in the background that also showed other hanged figures; almost one per tree. The striped shirt colours changed and much more texture & rocks added to the barren ground.

455a CHARRED COLE = Charcoal. def'n: Charcoal — A black, porous carbon-containing material produced by the destructive distillation of wood and used as a fuel, a filter, and an absorbent. def'n: Char — To scorch or become scorched. To reduce or be reduced to charcoal by incomplete combustion. 455b DEVILED EGBERT = Deviled egg; Fancily prepared hard-boiled eggs. def'n: Devil — A demon or similar evil spirit. A wicked or destructively mischievous person. An unfortunate person, wretch. BITS & BOBS: — Warhola's living hell gag was one of several approved concepts by Topps that James executed for the OS11 set. The troubled character can be seen being turned on a spit, over an eternal roasting fire, while being poked and prodded by little devils, in the process of preparing him as a potential meal. One devil is also cutting into the character's head, while two skeleton demons are looking on, and another is turning the spit. Per Warhola's tight pencil rough artwork, labeled 'GPK IN HELL', one extra little devil was added to the end of the spit, covering up the large demon stomach, and logs pretty much removed for the final artwork; perhaps the fire is coming from brimstone. Curiously, the smiling character is changed to a worrisome character for the final artwork, which tends to happen the other way around. Per thumbnail sketch, via Garbage Archive, with Mark Newgarden's name, the concept is visualized with potential notes by Warhola, stating, "Demons & Devils" and "torturing on spit"; def'n: torture = to inflict severe pain and suffering on or upon.

456a SPLIT CORD = Split cord. def'n: Split — To divide, especially into lengthwise sections. To break, burst, or rip apart with force. Rip violently; tear. def'n: Cord — A string or small rope of twisted strands or fibers. 456b WILLIAM WON'T TELL = William Tell. def'n: Tell, William — Legendary hero in the Swiss struggle for independence against Austria. def'n: Won't — Will not. BITS & BOBS: — Pound's split wood gag was one of several approved concepts by Topps that John executed for the OS11 set. Most of Pound's pieces are missing the model chart cracks & hinges for his submissions for some reason. Without earlier thumbnails or sketch concepts, it is currently unknown if any revisions took place. The character can be seen standing up against a tree upon a hillside with a Swiss Alps scenery in the background, along with another archer. The character has been used as daring target practice, with an apple having been placed upon his head to be shot at with a bow and arrow by an offscreen archer. The arrow has missed its mark by a long shot and has split the character, like a log, and penetrates deeply into the tree. The smiling character, like the tree, is made up of wood & wood grain.

457a SALLY SUCTION — Sally; S forename to go with the word 'suction'. def'n: Suction — The act or process of sucking. 457b TEETHIN' TRINA — Semi-rhyme; the forename Trina with the word 'teethe+ing'. def'n: Teethe — To grow or cut one's teeth. BITS & BOBS: — Bunk's golly gag was one of several approved concepts by Topps that Tom executed for the OS11 set. The character can be seen oversucking on a pacifier (dummy in the UK) to the shocking result of busting out the backside of their head. The character seems extra surprised, with wrinkles above their raised eyebrows. Per Bunk's original colour rough artwork, the character is sitting left-to-right, rather than sitting right-to-left as seen within the final artwork, and cracks have been added to the back region of the head. The saliva has changed from a clear-ish color to blue and the lower background color changed, along with the hair-spike colour, and an extra stress sweat-droplet added.

458a DENTAL HY GENE = Dental hygiene. def'n: Dental — Of or for the teeth. Of or for a Dentist's work. def'n: Hygiene — Science that deals with the maintenance of health. 458b RUDY CANAL = Root canal. def'n: Root canal — Passage in the root of a tooth through which nerves and vessels pass to the pulp. BITS & BOBS: — Pound's 'PULLING TOOTH + SKELETON' 11(2)-REV gag was one of several approved concepts by Topps that John executed for the OS11 set. Most of Pound's pieces are missing the model chart cracks & hinges for his submissions, this particular concept would not work as a hardened doll. The character can be seen sitting in a dental examination chair, having a front tooth extracted, but the entire skeleton is in the process of being removed. The character looks quite deflated due to this dental mishap and unfortunate result. Per Pound's original tight pencil artwork, was orginally a mirror-image of the final artwork and titled, 'PULLING TOOTH, SKELETON', but switched prior to the colour artwork stage so that the character was facing left-to-right, rather than in the right-to-left direction; this appears to have been the only revision. Pound's colour rough shows the skeleton character with rosy cheeks, but this idea was removed for the final artwork. It's nice to see a set of CPK shoes on the GPK character.

459a VOMITED = Vomit+ed. def'n: Vomit — Expel the contents of the stomach through the mouth; throw up what has been eaten. Come out with force or violence. The act of vomiting. 459b JUICY JULES — Jules; J forename to go with the word 'juicy'. def'n: Juicy — Full of juice; having much juice. def'n: Juice — Fluid in the body. The gastric juices of the stomach that help to digest food. BITS & BOBS: — Warhola's gross gesture jester gag was one of several approved concepts by Topps that James executed for the OS11 set. The evil jack-in-a-box character can be seen having popped out of the music box and expelling puke all over the victim. A jack-in-a-box is a toy that outwardly consists of a music box and crank, which plays a melody while turning, and the lid suddenly pops open and a figure, usually a clown or jester head, 'jumps' out of the box to startle the player. Per Mark Newgarden's rough thumbnail sketch, the overall concept was reconfigured by Warhola, with the music box being moved from the foreground and placed further in the background, and the evil clown eyes were kept open (since we tend to close them whilst puking, similar to when we sneeze), and vomit drops added to the ground. Newgarden emphasized the puke by colouring it green, showing it spraying in a downwards direction, rather than projectile vomiting.

— The original GPK sets all had unique die-cuts for their sticker outline,
adopted from the Wacky Packages franchise.
