Topps Creates New York Comic-Con-Exclusive Garbage Pail Kid to Tweak Fanboys
 |
It’s “Fan Boyd,” who’ll be available on a limited edition T-shirt and print at the show.
Despite Garbage Pail Kids having been based on broad stereotypes from the getgo, I still expect people to complain about this. Or sarcastically wonder aloud why there’s no “Fan Girld.”
I’m just amazed there’s any market for Garbage Pail Kids left. Maybe we can draw one of a Topps executive and call her “Out-of-ideas Lydia”?
