I WANT MY CHOCOLATE CHICKEN POT PIE!
I was wandering through Janna's blog and came across a post in which she designed her own South Park character. There are numerous such sites, but Janna suggested this one. After fooling around on the others, I discovered that she was right; this one offers the most options.
My first move was, of course, to design myself:
Not a bad likeness, really. In real life, my cheekbones are a little more prominent.
Misanthropster created this version of herself:
This, actually, looks a lot like her, although, again, her face is more sculpted and less...spherical. Also, I noticed that we were trending a little toward the Addams Family. At any rate, Misanthropster then designed George, with a little help from me:
Just like in real life, she has her mother's eyes and my mouth. However, in real life, she doesn't let us put hats on her.
Here's our family portrait. It isn't drawn to scale.
If Christmas hadn't already passed, I would have put it on cards. As it stands, I think I might send out Groundhog Day cards this year.

I did this too, but I was disappointed in the shoe options.

Mist-
Good point. Someone should design a "create your own Fritz the Cat character" site.
Lee-
For those of us who don't have your artistic ability!
Odat-
You have to let me see. Maybe we should set up a space where we can all post our South Park characters.
I think they have sports jerseys for the characters, but I don't think the Devils are represented.

Nice goatee.

Funny, I imagined you to be taller...

Mine so did not come out that nicely! Good lookin' family you got there.

Matt-
It worked for Shel Silverstein and Anton LaVey, and it'll damn well work for me!
Puss-
Proportions aren't exactly to scale. Although I do have a big head.
Monicker-
Let me see it!
By Crankster, At January 24, 2007 at 4:08 PM
I'm not sure how to take that...

We have the same hair, and I am madly in love with the women in your family. Does that make us twins? Are you Arnold or Danny? Wait, you spechen zie Deutsch. And you did say you were taller with a big head....

What a beautiful family! The Punk baby T is a great touch! Love it.

The penciled in eyebrows are a nice touch. Sort of Greta Garbo-ish if she was really surprised and slightly irritated about something.

Puss-
I'm just going to leave it open to interpretation.
CEO-
Actually, the only German I speak is culled from old episodes of Hogan's Heroes. This made things difficult when I was in Berlin, as I only knew how to say "Achtung!," "Dummkopf," and, of course, "Hoooooogan!"
Olives-
We couldn't find a Ramones T-shirt to match the one she actually wears. This was the closest.
Slaghammer-
Actually, I thought it was a little more medieval Japanese. I needed them, though, as my avatar looked a little irritated without the happy brows.

okay, this is really out of character for me, but we are talking about south park so I guess I can give your family an aw. But dont expect me to drag out the a or the w.
By anony mouse? muse?, At January 24, 2007 at 11:36 PM
actually your family looks soooo much like mine, My chappy has a goatee without the moustache and has a shaved noggin, as for me I w I would have longer hair and the wee girl looks like my youngest, and scarily we dress like the addams family too, my eldest daughter has a t-shirt like that with 'break the rules' scrawled under it... This is too weird to handle at 8am in the morning LOL

Anonymouse-
Actually, I was hoping for an ooooh, or maybe a ew!
I appreciate the aw, though.
Judith-
CEO looks like me, I look like your man, and your daughter looks like mine.
I can't help but think that like spirits find each other.

On behalf of Matt of "Animal Mind," we like your new avatar.

But the important this is that you all look so HAPPY.
By heartinsanfrancisco, At January 25, 2007 at 2:28 PM
He would kill me for saying so, but your South Park guy looks just like my friend Omar.
By Lex, At January 25, 2007 at 11:27 PM
Let's try that again.
By Lex, At January 25, 2007 at 11:32 PM
Connie (and Matt)-
Thanks. We'll have our people, etc., etc.
Hearts-
Thanks!
Lex-
Odd! In real life, his face is a little thinner than mine, and I'm paler. Still, gotta say--Omar's a handsome man.
By Crankster, At January 26, 2007 at 7:28 AM
It does seem like you in some ways!
By ramo, At January 27, 2007 at 4:53 AM
The cranky, amused expression is right on. You need to make one, Ramo!
By Crankster, At January 27, 2007 at 1:34 PM
Brilliant! :)
Love the Addams Family reference.
Misanthropster, Morticia: Both multisyllabic names that start with "M"...
And who knows, maybe Gomez was occasionally called a Cranky Old Bastard behind his back sometimes. :)
Great post.

Janna-
Thank you for the inspiration!!
