Happy New Year, Cartoon Style
When I was a kid, I loved cartoons. I thought the Bugs Bunny Road Runner show on Saturday mornings was the greatest thing going. I loved Schoolhouse Rock and still know the preamble to the Constitution because of it. Okay, so I have to sing it, but I still know it.
But adult cartoons? Other than Wait Til Your Father Gets Home (does anyone remember this show besides me?) I've never been one to enjoy adult cartoons. I've never watched Family Guy and I think The Simpsons are just plain dumb.
However. South Park? I love South Park. It's quirky and raunchy and sacreligious. They aren't afraid of political commentary and revel in celebrity satires. They kill Kenny in every episode and Cartman just plain cracks me up. Bottom line? The show makes me laugh.
So, when I saw the opportunity to make my very own South Park Carole at this website, I couldn't resist.
The resemblance is striking, really. Right down to the beer in my her hand.
Happy New Year to all of you from South Park Carole!

Very cool.
I've never seen that show, I know I know. I'm a loser.
Happy New Year to you also!

I know this is off topic but could you tell me where you generated the button for the ABC-along? I'm trying to make a couple for my blog. Thanks:D

"establish justice, insure domestic tranquiliteeeeeeeeee ... " so VERY glad to know that I'm not the only one. Remember "I'm just a bill"? And how about "Conjunction Junction"?
Just in case you want to while away the weekend double-checking your memory: http://www.schoolhouserock.tv/
Happy New Year!

I'd forgotten about "Wait Til Your Father Gets Home," until you mentioned it, Carole. Wow. Blast from the past!

Hey, I'm Canadian and I remember "I'm just a bill"! I don't watch South Park all that often, but loved the link to create my own little South Park Rachel. Very cool. Thanks, and Happy New Year.

another Schoolhouse Rock Fan here - and a self confessed singer of the Preamble - I have to sing the alphabet too!
Happy New Year Carole!

OK, you have to stop finding these things! I've been making my own SP character for the last hour and a half! I have knitting to do!
Thanks for finding the fun.
