Wolverton was the man..one of American's greatest and least know illustrators , check out his "Story of the Bible" series from the 1940's - true fine line illustration and "Plop" comics from the 70's as well as the work he did for Topps "Ugly Stickers" and "Fink Buttons" - here are two of the ones I have that live on my desk - alot of these were immediately bootlegged in Hong Kong and produced thru the mid-1970's sometimes these can get expensive too!

If you're having trouble finding them under "Rubber Uglies", you'll probably come across them if you look for "Jigglers" or "Rubber Jigglers".

Wow, yeah the ugly stickers artwork is great... but to me jigglers are gross. i dunno why, i guess i associate them with the crappy toys my mom bought for me instead of transformers and such when she didnt wanna spend the money. haha

I LOVED these as a kid and still do. ;)

I clearly remember getting them from the quarter machines outside of the A&P. The header card used to make me drool. ("Scary Monsters" or some such, all sorts of these guys crammed onto a bubble blister)

Great stuff! :(

Duplicate account of Ookla.
Banned for stiffing Universal Ruler Supreme on a deal. Came back under a new name but didn't make things right with URS even though he was given the option.
