Wayne's Garbage Pail Kids Page
Wayne has found an interesting connection between GPK and Dinosaurs Attack.

A few of the concepts from the United States Garbage Pail Kids All-New Series 1 were used for characters in other non-sports sets or based on characters from other non-sports sets.  It is interesting to see that just about every last detail was copied when a character or concept was reused.
 
     The United States Garbage Pail Kids All-New Series 1 character 4a Cootie Cody / 4b Buggin' Brandon was based on the design of card 39 Trilobite Terror from the United States Dinosaurs Attack! set produced by Topps in 1988 (see image above).  John Pound was the artist that created the Garbage Pail Kids character, however he did not create the Dinosaurs Attack! painting, which was created previous to the Garbage Pail Kids character.  The Garbage Pail Kids character was originally created for the unpublished United States Garbage Pail Kids 16th Series sometime near the end of 1988.
