Gross Negligence
Death rides a skateboard. Gross Negligence is a contemporary punk band out of California. This EP came out in 2009 on Flat Black Records, which has a number of 7"s with skate covers, most of which I have found scrounging through the used bin at Celebrated Summer Records. Check out the first track "Skate the Apocalypse" below.

Tunes
Tunes is a Fry Bender, which is not a cyborg hybrid of Fry and Bender from Futurama, but a personified french fry from McDonald's. This particular guy is intended for the under 3 crowd. He is from 1989, which explains his deck shape as well as the boombox.

Donald Duck
Donald Duck is seen here cruising in standard cartoon figure stance (back foot facing backwards). He usually just hangs out pantless but decided to get a bit more formal for this session with his periwinkle shorts. He's also rockin an old 70s style helmet.
Edit: Ran across a packaged version of this and it was marketed as a cake topper made by Parish's in 1985.

Code of Honor
Code of Honor's debut 7" from 1982 is an excellent example of early skate punk featuring a cover on par with JFA's Blatant Localism EP. They later had the track "I Killed the Dove" from their Beware the Savage Jaw LP (1984) featured during Scott Bourne's part in the Consolidated Skateboards video Is What It Is.

Complain
Complain were a Japanese thrash band from the early 2000s. They were part of what became known as "bandana thrash" and put out the Make a Mistake 7" EP on 625 Thrashcore in 2002. The EP is pretty raging and someone put the whole thing up so have a listen.
