Title: parodies
Post by: bearded on October 26, 2007, 11:06:54 AM
that's what we need.  all the big name heroes have them.  superduperman, teen hulk, spiderham (peter porker, not the simpsons thing) etc.

does your avatar have a mad magazine parody?  or how about a low budget rip off?  like a small company copies you.
edited for respelling.

In my vainer moments, I fancy Mr. Silent (http://www.warrenellis.com/?p=1712) is a parody of the otherwise inimitable Phantom Bunburyist.

Nice thing about having an avatar who is a kind of parody himself, it's hard to parody it. DaBlob? Taken. DaGoo? Not really funny. DaHeap? Already been done. DaBoob? DaSlob? They have possibilities. Still.... just nothing like Superduperman, or Captain Marbles, Wonderous Woman, Bats-Man, or Shadowskedeebumbum.

So, Bearded, you started it, what would they call yours?

Is this on the list of artistc challenges? Maybe it should be...

The Bantam Highbrow.  He thinks he's sooo smart, that guy, but he's just a light-weight.

Or feather-weight, eh what?  Do you see what I did there? ;)

There would be no point but a postmodern one to be made in parodying The Phantom Bunburyist, who is a living parody.  'Twould be as if MAD magazine were to send up Scary Movie.

Nevertheless, The Handsome Dungberryist might be a candidate, a.k.a. The Fop of Fertilizer, The Manure About Town, or The Pompatus of Poop.  He is a dandy, but what's in his pockets is not candy... :ph34r:
