One of my favorite childhood memories centers on the discovery of Wacky Packages. Like most Topps products, they consisted of a stick of nondescript gum coupled with an assortment of trading cards and stickers. One of the first acts of self-definition I performed was plastering my bedroom door with the gross and weird wackies. I think it also helped define my love of graphic art – in this case of the hyper-gross, California hotrod art sort personified by Ed “Big Daddy” Roth’s Ratfink.
