Trivia
The original tight pencil sketch and colour rough titled 'Spilling Their Guts' by John Pound had intestines spilling out of the ripped stomach instead of cotton and the surprised mouth was replaced with a smile. Most likely to keep the idea as cute and CPK-like as possible. You can just make out everywhere the cotton replaced the guts and blood on the final, painted-over, image. Most GPK artwork, in general, was revised in the concept stage, but quite a few OS1 final paintings were reworked.

Although we do not know the backstory of this particular CPK character, the adopted doll was highly neglected and possibly abused. Pound's suggested names: 'BILLY Boo-Boo' and 'Gutsy GUS'

The 2013 Chrome OS1 set contained several chase cards including 20 rare C-names; 40c Gutted GUS.

An alternate thumbnail sketch of a samurai committing Hara-kiri exists – a ritual suicide by disembowelment practiced by the Japanese samurai or formerly decreed by a court in lieu of the death penalty (left).Pound's suggested names: 'SAMMY Samurai', 'SAMMY Suicide' and 'HARRY Kari'. ​​​​​​​

The original GPK sets all had unique die-cuts for their sticker outline, adopted from the Wacky Packages franchise.

The character was picked to be the side artwork for the OS1 box packaging.
