Art Stages

Rough Concept Drawing Lynch's rough sketch shows the product name as "Hounz Tomato Ketchup," though notes (perhaps from Topps?) on the right of the drawing suggest the subtitle "Tomcat Kat-Chunks." Also among those notes is the proposal to change Lynch's line "Since Hector was a pup" to "Pleasing pups since..." (The thumbnail at above left links to a scan of the rough at wackypackages.org)

Final Painting The Topps Vault sold the finished art for "Hounz Cat-Chunks" for $2,649.00 in an eBay auction which ran from October 18-25, 2005.
