Nasty NICK/Evil EDDIE is card number 1 in Old Series 1. It is notable for being the first GPK card ever produced.
Description[]
The card depicts a boy vampire biting the neck of a Barbie-type fashion doll. Since the character is biting a doll, and is only slightly larger than the bat in the background, this proves some Garbage Pail Kids are very small and points to the original concept of GPK characters being depicted as dolls (parodying the Cabbage Patch Kids dolls that were wildly popular at the time.)
Parodies/Represents[]
The card is obviously based off the vampire mythos and, more specifically, Dracula by Bram Stoker. The a name may reference the phrase "What a nasty nick", while the b name is a nod to the eddy, the whirling move vampires use to disappear.
