abstract:Garbage Pail Kids is a Canadian-American cartoon series which was produced in 1987, based on the popular Garbage Pail Kids trading cards, produced and directed by Bob Hathcock and co-written and developed by Flint Dille. Due to controversial themes, it never aired in the United States.
There was nothing sophisticated about the Wackies (let alone the GarbagePailKids stickers that followed) but their gag humor appealed to children while making them more attuned to the language of marketing.
