I don't know if it's actually a JungHwa Im piece, but it certainly has all the traits. Perspective is usually poor, the lettering is never crisp, the characters are typically simple 2-dimensional cartoonish figures, and cylindrical objects are consistently out-of-round and just awful in their execution.Ĭhock Full o' Newts is a prime example of everything I mention above - looks like a color rough and not finished art. The art consistently lacks precision and any sense of realism. If there were only a handful of pieces per series I wouldn't be on a rant, but JungHwa Im did almost 50% of the base set for both 2014 (21 pieces) and ANS 11 (19 pieces), and I find most of them unfit for inclusion in the sets. To me though, to go back to my earlier statement, I feel that JungHwa Im is single-handedly destroying the Wacky brand.

Mainly due to cease-and-desist warnings, fourteen of the original 1967/8 die-cuts did not make it to this series. ![]() It's a fun study and you can really start to see the style and characteristics that each of the artists bring to the sets. Whatever the reason, this is the series that put Wacky Packages on the map.
