Topps #7: Wood Chips 16: Crazy Cards
These are Crazy Cards which Wood did in color for Topps in 1961. The series was planned as a parody of Ripley's Believe It or Not! The punch lines on the card backs featured line art by Wood with one added color. Wood had previously illustrated Ernie Kovacs' Strangely Believe It! for Mad in 1958. To see the entire Wood Chips series, click on the "wood chips" label at bottom. To see various card backs for this series, visit Steven Thompson's Hooray for Wally Wood.

These are gorgeous but ... what are the punchlines? The guy that stayed underwater for ten minutes drowned, I bet!
