Spiegelman visited this exhibition dedicated to his work with the French Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, and he asked him if he liked Les Crados... As the Minister looked pretty embarrassed (Les Crados caused a big controversy in the 80's : link), Spiegelman told this story : "When the first volume of "Maus" was released and that very serious medias got interested in the book, my editor said : "Above all, don't say you're the Garbage Pail Kids creator !"

Keep us updated, bud ! A good friend of mine went to Japan last month and I plagued him with this BK story... He seeked them in a lot of stores in different neighbourhoods, in vain... Guess this is not the kind of stuff you can find in stores but in people's attics...

As I said previously, when "Les Crados" series were released back in 1989, it was a real tsunami here in France. A debate even took place in the National Assembly about the danger it could represent for kids... and I just found out a copy of the French National Assembly report from May 1989 in which the speech of a politcian against Les Crados is reported ! French National Assembly report – 8th of May 1989
Children (child policy)
12774. – 8th of May 1989 – Mr Christian Estrosi is calling Mr Minister of the Interior’s attention to the mushrooming of sticker cards which are particularly degrading for children. Indeed, “Les Crados” are currently invading our country. One hundred and twenty four characters symbolizing the human being vilest aspects are so served up to children. Lying, hypocrisy, cowardice and also violence are the “Les Crados” characteristics. Some prominent figures, child psychanalists denounced the bad effects of this pseudo-comics on children’s psychological balance. Some doctors even talked about a possible increase of anxiety attacks for fragile children who would be addict to these cards. Other people say that these cards go against all the principles of a developed society knowing how to master its impulses by culture and education. So Mr Estrosi is asking if Mr Minister of the Interior is thinking about forbidding the sale of these cards which are particularly dangerous to children.Sorry for the rough translation. "Some doctors even talked about a possible increase of anxiety attacks for fragile children who would be addict to these cards. "

Nice ! I loved that card when I was a kid. The pun with her French name (Flo Ride) is pretty clever : "Flo" is short for the name Florence + "Ride" (pronounced like "read") which means wrinkle = Floride (Florida)

The choice of a silver matte for Rock E. horror was pretty audacious... but it fits perfectly the artwork ! Once again, what a great piece...
