Buttons!!!!

I love buttons! I have more than I can count. Most of them feature this cute lil Japanese manga character I did a post on long ago, called Domo. I think he's just too darn cute. I also have music buttons, mainly buttons that say The Beatles all over them and I just bought more of them, and also I have buttons that say Woodstock and any other 60s hippie related regalia on them

Aww, Pac-Man!


Oooooh, peace signs!!

This reminds me of my sister, for some strange reason. This means "Shut the F--- Up!"

Garbage Pail Kids

Garbage Pail Kids
If you were an 80s kid, you might remember these!

-Trading cards
-Company: Topps Corp.

-Released in 1985 to parody the Cabbage Patch Kids
-Each card featured a Garbage Pail Kid having some kind of comical condition, abnormality or fate with humorous name, such as Adam Bomb, Half-Nelson or Sicky Vicky
-There were "a" or "b" cards, featuring the same character, only different name.









History
-This was the brainchild of cartoonist Art Spiegelman, who worked for Topps, a collector card company.
-He came up with the idea for 'Wacky Packages' and 'Garbage Pail Kids'
-Released in 1985
