Someone help me! I’m looking for the artist, similar to, but not, Big Daddy Roth, who did those disgusting grotesque creatures with receding chins, covered with warts, and with enormous snaggle teeth? I think they were on bubble gum cards, and I think he had a rather long, WASPy name. Anybody remember this guy?

Did you know that Ed Roth was a Mormon convert? It’s true.

Thanks for the trip to the past. Back in the days when you were required to wrap or cover you school books, I can remember illustrating my covers with Rat Fink and other monsters copied from Ed Roth. Those who had any ability to draw could get a day’s worth of being “Cool” by putting Rat Fink on book covers .
