Simpsonization

Springfield Punx. In his spare time, Dean Fraser Simpson-izes pop icons and posts them on his blog. Some examples include Batman, Moth Man, Donnie Darko, and Tobias Fünke.

Seems a little thin at this point, but I like what's there. Every time I see a real world person drawn as a Simpsons character, I'm amazed at how easy it is to capture someone with just a few important details.

Still, this also reminds me of just how frustrating that "Simpsonize Me" thing that came out last summer was. That should have been mankind's coolest invention, and instead it was a buggy, slow, ultimately unsatisfying piece of Burger King crap.

I think he just drew the ninja turtles as opposed to "simpson-ized" them.

Hmmm. This is much more interesting than my idea of XKCD-izing pop icons. Back to the drawing board.

Here's to Lee Iacocca, and his failed experiment, the DeLorean.

Whoops, that's a quote from The Office. Aren't there any BTTF-related Simpsons quotes?

I guess his Ignatowski is ok, but where's the rest of the cast of Taxi?

@ hifiparasol: I've gone back to the time when dinosaurs weren't just confined to zoos!

Just realized that he did late show hosts, but left out Craig Ferguson. Points off.
