Congratulations to Adam Brauner and Josh Motto—the lucky winners of Garbage Pail Kids wall and laptop graphics from LTL Prints. Even if you didn’t win, GPK fans should consider picking one up. They look great (I mean, not in a classy way or anything. More like a dorm room, den, a place where visitors don’t normally go kind of way).
wall graphics
If you were wondering how one of those Garbage Pail Kids graphics we are giving away would actually look on your wall or laptop, I have put together a gallery that might help clear things up. More specifically, I peeled and stuck the 4-foot Atom Bomb graphic in increasingly random and inappropriate spots in my home, and, in some cases, juxtaposed it with what is traditionally considered to be “fine art.” In the end, you just might find that art featuring humorously-named, comically mutated children is just as valid.
After discovering those awesome Garbage Pail Kids graphics yesterday, I knew I had to get some for you guys. LTL Prints has been kind enough to supply us with one 4-foot wall graphic and 2 laptop graphics to give away to a pair of lucky Nerd Approved readers (Atom Bomb and Hot Head Harvey respectively). To enter, all you have to do is send an email to contests@nerdapproved.com with “Garbage Pail Kids Contest” in the subject line. In the body, add your shipping information.
Alternatively, you could become a fan of the new Nerd Approved Facebook page and simply comment in the contest thread. The grand prize winner will receive both the wall graphic and the laptop graphic. The runner up will receive just the laptop graphic. The last day to enter is January 31st—the winner will be chosen randomly and notified on February 1st. Good luck, and make sure to visit LTL Prints to check out all of the designs.
That’s right—LTL prints has the exclusive rights to launch a 77 piece line of wall graphics featuring classic designs from Garbage Pail Kids trading cards. Prices start at $14.95 for laptop-sized graphics to 7-foot tall ‘larger-than-lifesize’ wall graphics, for $149.95.
Chances are, guys that grew up with these in the ’80s probably have wives now that wouldn’t allow this sort of thing in the living room—but if you have your own kids, you might be able to get around that little problem. The first wave of 77 designs are available now with additional sets following monthly starting in February.
Chalkals wall graphics will spark a child’s imagination with vivid nightmares about alien abductions and invasions from outer space. As if that wasn’t enough, you also get the added benefit of using chalk to draw martians smiling and waving from the cutesy UFOs as they beam up the populous for probing. A great way to start generating business for tomorrow’s therapists today.

These ”Get a Grip” wall graphics give you the ability to control the destiny of 17 climber silhouettes. Will they create miniature feats of strength and endurance as they scale your walls and hang from your furniture, or will some decide to end it all like the guy on top of the pile of books?
