Odd Rods: Back, and better than ever

Back in the  late 1960s and early 1970s, Odd Rods collectible trading cards were all the rage.  Mind you, my own two parents hadn’t even met yet, let alone welcomed me — but I can certainly see why these funny cartoon monsters tooling around in tricked out dragsters would have been popular.  So, apparently, could Bob ‘B.K.’ Taylor — the original illustrator of the Odd Rods characters.  He recently re-launched Odd Rods and in this house, at least, they’re all the rage again.  It’s no wonder celeb parents like Scott Baio and Nicole Richie are fans.

We recently received several of Odd Rods t-shirts ($24) in their brand new toddler sizes, and they are right up our 4-year-old’s alley.  He’s a little young to appreciate the humor but he loves cars (hot rods especially!) and thanks to Yo Gabba Gabba, he’s down with monsters, too.  A winning combination!  The tees come available in sizes 2T through 12Y, and run true to size. I love the vintage look of Odd Rods…and if you’re a fan of old school cartoons like Mad Magazine and National Lampoon, you’ll love them too.
