Car windows were adorned with the stuffed form of cartoon cat Garfield grasping the glass with his section cup paws. At about S20 a piece, Garfield was a reasonably affordable replacement for those little yellow signs that were once everywhere. As for the cars Garfield hung in, the popular models were mostly foreign - Hondas, Mazdas, Toyotas, and Volkswagens. Mini-trucks with painted rims and trim were com- mon, as were Rabbits, CRXs, and Volkswagen bugs. Steak fajitas turned up at many restaurants and became popular about the time Chicago Bears quar- terback Jim lVlclVlahon began tout- ing their virtue for Taco Bell. Chicken and shrimp fajitas were soon to follow. Probably the biggest trend of the year was that lovable spotted-eye mutt hawking Budweiser. Yes, Spuds MacKenzie - really Evie Oles. a female dog from Illinois - became quite the fad. Her likeness adorned not only Anheuser-Busch ads, but dolls, shoes, shorts, hats, t-shirts, and more. The Spuds clothing caused a controversy as schools across the country, including Lodi Senior Ele- mentary, banned the apparel. The rumors of his untimely pass- ing frun over by his own limousine, drowned while water-skiing, hit by a Budweiser truckl were not only unfounded but added to his appeal. by Helen Schorr photos by Eric Johnston Fads 61
