“Loogie Leia” (Jabba the Hutt and Slave Leia) Garbage Pail Kids Print by Luis Diaz

I collected Garbage Pail Kids cards when I was a kid and loved them, although my parents were probably less than thrilled about the gross-out humor they often featured. They were a perfect fit for the sense of humor of a young boy like me. I recall having large stacks of them.

They’ve made a bit of a comeback recently, with new sets being released. Luis Diaz is one of the artists creating them, although this particular piece was a commission for someone and not an official card. The original painting was apparently 5 x 7 in size, but the print I got from Luis is 11 x 14, which really lets you see the details. Clearly, Jabba’s palace has seen better days, with all of the graffiti and trash around. And as you can see, Leia isn’t too happy about her new outfit for some reason…
