A mention in the Spiegelman interview made me realise I’d not looked at the Garbage Pail Kids since they were all over my school circa 1985-6, so I dug out some scans and went down memory lane. Like a lot of kids things they’re simultaneously tamer and edgier than I remembered, as befits the fever-dreams of weirdo cartoonists filtered through a corporate card company. A bit confused that Fiona, only four years my senior, has no memory of them, but 13 and 17 are very different ages…
