For starters, no 2014 New York Comic Con report as of yet, sorry. Still in the process of playing catching up on the gotta pay the bills front.
Though I did finally file my interview with Michiteru Okabe, the producer of Resident Evil: Revelations 2, which should be going up on Siliconera any day now (yes, even though I’ve officially retired from full-time games reporting, I’m still do things here and there).
Also, I’ve finally gotten the chance to crack open my first pack of Stupid Heroes, the latest trading card sensation from Joe Simko and company…
… Am so stoked that I got a Mr. Baby Man! Would have been even better if Nick Furry was also included, but next pack I guess. BTW, here’s the original painting that was part of my ultra exclusive behind the scenes look earlier this summer…
Anyways, now that Stupid Heroes are finally out in the wild, what’s next for Wax Eye? Why, spearheading a lovingly detailed look at the bubble gum cards that all children of the 80s have a soft spot in their hearts for, and which was also a cornerstone of Americana back in the day as well, yet has also been largely dismissed or unappreciated by op culture historians.
Until now…
30 Years of Garbage: The Garbage Pail Kids promises to present a cinematic treasure trove of the best bits of your childhood. Back when an innocent little sticker card, featuring a beautifully rendered illustration of a girl eating her boogers like it was a meal served by some five star Michelin chef, caused at least one parental authority in your life to seriously question your mental well being.
But something like an examination of the three-decade long history of Garbage Pail Kids doesn’t happen out of thin air. My pals, and yours, need some financial support to help make it all come together, which is why everyone should head on over to the documentary’s Indiegogo page and consider donating a few bones (especially since there are some killer incentives up for grabs).
I know I’m biased since I’m pals with the producers, Joe & June, but I’ve actually gotten a sneak peak at some of the interview footage, and trust me when I say that anyone who give’s a rats ass about the kids counterculture of the 80s, plus anti-establishment art as a whole, should seriously give 30 Years Of Garbage a look.
