Other media
Terri Cloth is one of the main characters in the Garbage Pail Kids Animated Series, voiced by Alyson Court. Here, her face is on her hand. She is often the voice of reason for the group. Episode 2 is the only episode where Terri's face is on a cloth like the card. But, in most episodes, instead of having her face on the cloth, she had it on her hands like Jan Hands.

Trivia

 * Pound's identity defacing gag was one of several concepts that John executed for the OS5 set. The simple surroundings tell the damaging story; the character has finished using the sink and mirror to wash her intact face, grabs a towel to dry off whilst water tap still running, only to find she is staring at the audience from a terry cloth, super absorbent towel. Thus, leaving the onlookers wondering why the Twilight Zone-esque face has no eye sockets, nasal passage or mouth cavity any longer.
 * Besides the trading card sticker image, the final artwork was also used for the completed 21-card, purple border puzzle 'E' within the set. The character also shows up twice within the set due to reverse card back variations.
 * The character was one of the main cast members for the cancelled 1987 CBS Garbage Pail Kids cartoon of 13 episodes later released by Paramount on DVD in 2006. The cartoon cells were created by artist Geof Darrow (right), artwork time-stamped Jun 23, 1987 for the 'normal' and 'transformed' cartoon character along with an OS6 character.
