The difference between ugly and cute is really only a matter of eye size, I think. Or maybe it’s the amount of eyes. I’m still trying to figure that out for myself.
Today I’ve been drooling over the work Norman Sanders did for Topps back in the day: Ugly Stickers, Frankenstein Valentines, Wacky Packs…its great stuff! It really brings me back to a childhood I never lived, which, I imagine, was full of go-carts and RALEIGH CHOPPERS. By the time I came around, we had our version of these cards -- Garbage Pail Kids, which I collected compulsively. (Yes, I still have them. And no mom, you can’t sell them.)But Norman Saunder's stuff just had a ton of low-brow klass!
