4 out of 5 stars A fun book   September 21, 2008
This illustrated several stickers I remember but LOTS I never saw. This is a fun look at what humor used to be like.


5 out of 5 stars From Wacky to Zippy   September 15, 2008
 3 out of 4 found this review helpful

As one of the cartoonists who created a few of the Wacky Packages shown in the book, my view of the project is far from objective---but I thought it was fun to see such pop ephemera resurface 34 years later as an Abrams art book! Who would've thought, back in 1974, as I cruised the aisles of the San Francisco Safeway with Art Spiegelman, hunting for likely targets, that our little barbs sent at consumerism and package design would have such staying power? I shudder to think it, but more people probably saw my "Generally Demented Light Bulbs" or "Kentucky Fried Fingers" Wacky Packs than ever read one of my Zippy comic books.

4 out of 5 stars Snappy, sweet nostalgia!   September 10, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This lovingly packaged, gorgeously designed collection of every Wacky Pack from Series 1-7 (1973-74) is an essential bookshelf item for any child of the Seventies who remembers a time when kid culture could satirize beer and cigarettes. The gags may often fall flat, but the nostalgia is crisp and sweet.
