All this talk about NFT and art has brought back a lot of memories about how I used to collect pogs back in the day. I know pogs are made the butt of a lot of jokes but I grew up during the pogs craze in 1992 and I remember enjoying the art seen on them rather than enjoying the game itself. Looking back though I admit a majority of the art was crap but there were some collections that had amusing jokes or comics on them. My friend got this one collection of pogs that was a collection of amusing sport injuries with drawings of furry characters. Only one ever stuck in my mind though and that involved a fox getting hit with a tennis ball. I really wanted to find the rest of the collection but sadly like a lot of trends a lot of pogs were made and a majority of it has been lost to time.
There are websites dedicated to pogs but they only seem to be concerned with the sports memorability or slammers so I haven't been able to find some of the collections I'm looking for. The one that stuck in my mind, I did make a drawing of it. It's as accurate as I can get but it's also been like almost 30 years since I last saw the thing so there is a good chance it would never been that accurate. Picture is posted below, the only major difference is that the art was within a blue circle with what I believe to be those words (it was just easier to draw it like this). A pog aficionado must be out there that can help identify the rest of this collection so if you can help me and spread this picture around I appreciate it. Thank you. ^v^
Can you perhaps post a photo of the pog art or at least a recreation of what it looked like. Also, shouldn't this be in unidentified media? Either way, I'm interested in doing what I can to help you find this unidentified artist.

I did, I posted a link to my twitter with my drawing attached. But I can probably just post a picture here too without the twitter link if that would be better for the anti-twitter cround.
Wow! Yeah those are it and like the last time I went looking for something on here it's nothing like I remember. The pose was close but I really thought it was suppose to be a collection of furry people in amusing injuries but it turns out that the "WORLD OF" part was just part of the "WORLDS OF FUN" type of branding. This whole website has been a complete nostalgia trip though and it has fixed a lot of broken memories I had about the 2nd and 3rd grade. With how messed up the memory was even if I knew about the website there are so many pogs I wouldn't even know where to look since the phrase I was misremembering wasn't even an option on that list.
Thank you for helping an old man remember, I do appreciate it. ^v^
