Jay Lynch, the artist who made the iconic parody Garbage Pail Kids, has passed away at age 72. Bloody Disgusting tells us Lynch died following a battle with lung cancer. His art was featured on Topps Cards and were quickly snatched up by children of the '80s. Lynch would also have his art featured in Playboy as well as comic books.

There was even a Garbage Pail Kids movie...

Rest easy Jay Lynch, and know that your parody outlasted the the Cabbage Patch Kids in the realm of pop culture. Did you collect these cards growing up?
