Description

Norman Saunders Wacky Packages "Kleenaxe Tissues" Eighth Series Illustration Original Art (Topps, 1974). "Don't lose your head -- use Kleenaxe, Favorite of executioners," is the motto on this uproarious parody package. According to the Wacky Packages Website, these lampoons were the creation of Art Spiegelman (who came up with the concept and jokes) and Norm Saunders, who rendered the realistic-looking designs. Originally sold at Topps' 1989 auction, these original art pieces have skyrocketed in demand ever since. This painting has an image area of 6" x 4.25", and the piece has been matted and framed to an overall size of 12" x 10.5". The art is in Excellent condition.
