Garbage Pail Kids

Word Search 140

Do you remember the Garbage Pail Kids? They were a series of satirical trading cards created in 1985 as a parody of the more popular Cabbage Patch Kids dolls. You'll recall they had strange names. Some were funny, some were weird, and some were downright grotesque. At any rate, we thought it would be fun to make a word search puzzle out of them.

This word search is themed. It hides the names of 20 Garbage Pail KidsGator Adria, Gloomy Gus, Gooey Huey, Green Dean, Hayden Go Seek,
Hot Scott, Jim Nauseum, Lara Crackers, Rabbit Chase, Raisin' Ella,
Rorschach Tessa, Samantha Swirl, Scabby Scarlet, Sculpted Scott, Show Don,
Sporty Morty, Sub Maureen, Troy Story, Sue Case, Twinny Vinnie
. Our personal favorite is SAMANTHA SWIRL.

But here's the twist: Only 18 of these 20 names are actually listed. So you're on your own to find the 2 unlisted names. A full solution is provided if you get stuck.

The puzzle grid is 22×20 letters and spans the entire page. It is printer-friendly. As long as your computer can open PDF files and your printer is loaded with standard 8.5" × 11" paper, you are all set to start solving.
