2016 Topps Garbage Pail Kids Prime Slime Trashy TV #2b Cherry Cooper
The world really does need more Twin Peaks cards in it. In typical GPK style, this one contains tons of adolescent gore (if that's the right phrase for it). We've got BOB, the zigzag carpet, wood paneling, red curtains, and more coffee mugs and damn fine pieces of pie than you can imagine. Still, I feel that more Easter eggs could have been crammed into this picture.
On the other hand, the card name itself might very well be an astonishingly deep cut. Early in season 1, the first time Agent Dale Cooper meets Dr. Jacobi, Cooper introduces himself.
"Huh? Gary Cooper?" responds Jacobi after not quite giving his full attention.
Could this card be referencing that tiny moment from 34-odd years ago?
In any case, I really need to get moving on my Blu-ray set of the Showtime series from 2017. It's been kicking around my house for the last three or four years. I always intend to watch, but something else invariably takes precedent. It's next off the pile after I finish my first season rewatch of The Shield, I swear.
