Wacky Packages, Art Spiegelman and Nerds

So in my last post* I mentioned Wacky Packages and a few people said how much they loved those stickers. I knew there were a lot of old farts reading this blog. For the youngsters, Wacky Packages were stickers that spoofed products. I met a few of the original artists at the Licensing Show in NYC a few years ago. Or was it the International Toy Fair? I forget.

Here's a YouTube video that features some of the stickers. To view it, click here.

They also have a Wacky Packages book out with a forward by Art Spiegelman. Did you know he was one of the artists? He was. And I had a nice long conversation with him. You see, nobody knew who he was because it was an industry show I attended which means "no comic book nerds allowed". Sorry nerds - maybe next time.

*If you haven't read all of the comments in my last post ("the sex talk post"), go do it now. They're hysterical!

Museum Bidding War For Blogger Envelope Ends

So the always funny blogger and super cool chick Whiskey Marie sent me a personal letter a few weeks ago and I thought I'd share the envelope with you before I donate it to the Smithsonian.

She knows me well. I live in PA. I wear underwear sometimes. I enjoy laughing at people that put things in their noses. And I hate canned and bottled beets with everything in my soul. I'm betting that the beet image was a joke.

What would you mail me if you were lucky enough to have my address?
