(VERY RARE).*** 1964 Topps Nutty Awards : Oversized Card (3.25 x 5.25 inches) # 11 - LICENSE TO TAKE OVER TV SET HISTORICAL INFO: In 1967, the Topps Chewing Gum company published a 44 card Kooky Awards Stickers set ( T.C.C. PRTD. IN U.S.A.) that was mainly painted by artist Norman Saunders with five of the artwork pieces being completed by artist Tom Sutton; these were punch-out die-cut cards with moisten-adhesive backs the same year and style as the Wacky Packages release. The Topps company also reused several of these concepts from the 1964 Nutty Awards Postcards set of 32 cards (NO NOTICE), illustrated by legendary artists Jack Davis, which in turn were recycled again and used as a blueprint for a majority of the card backs for the 1985 OS1 Garbage Pail Kids set ( 1985 TOPPS CHEWING GUM, INC. PRTD. IN U.S.A.), the Giant OS1 GPK set ( 1986 TOPPS CHEWING GUM, INC. PRTD. IN U.S.A.) and the later Chrome OS1 release (& 2013 THE TOPPS COMPANY, INC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. WWW.TOPPS.COM CODE# CMP005176.) around 28 years later; several signatures are in a different position. Similar concepts can also be found in the 1975 Wanted Stickers and 1980 Wanted Posters Topps sets also used for the OS3 and OS4 Garbage Pail Kids sets. At Len Brown's suggestion, art director Mark Newgarden, from the New Product Development department, was asked to update these older Topps releases to use on the backside of the first few Garbage Pail kids sets, thus saving some time on creating new material from scratch. Although some titles are brand-new, since some of the older material was too outdated for kids 'now-a-days', Newgarden created some new material still based on the same theme. Before artist Tom Bunk started working on the card fronts beginning with the OS3 release, he had the task of rendering and creating new material for the card backs of these first few Garbage pail Kids sets under the tutalage of both Newgarden and Art Speigelman. The ribbon artwork on the card was the only way Newgarden wasallowedto sneak in his own artwork for the project. Out of the 32 Nutty Awards Postcards set, 31 of these concepts were used in the GPK series; the Nutty Awards title #12 not used: 'Dishonorable Discharge'. The nine new 1st series concepts: 'Allergy Prescription', 'Bad Taste Award', 'Big Stink Award', 'Grouch License','Clumsy Award', 'Foulmouth Award', 'Reform School Diploma', 'Whiners Award', 'Garbage Pail Award', and 'Busy Body License'. The NPD Department would create the revised artwork and card type, but the Art Department was in charge of the overall design and would produce the composition and layout of the front side and card backs as well as the promotional material and packaging. Comp images were generated to help guide the final card type design and artwork placement. The NPD Department would give feedback at a later stage and eventually give the final 'okay'. One task by the Art Department, a step prior to printing, is the paste-up stage; a method of creating a layout for the card back pre-dating computerized page design and desktop publishing programs. The production artist would arrange the layout and apply line art and text cut-and-paste using and adhesive to the boards. The images were often photographed or scanned in order to create a negative which was then used to make a printing plate.
