While I was poking around the Kart00 map for

masqthephlsphr's site, the most far-flung link I came across was this Brazilian weblog. We've had a few Brazilian posters at the board -- Vox Populi comes to mind. I think, but am not sure, that Filipe Rijo (or some such) was also Brazilian, and also that Filipe would better fit the demographics of "Oz," the mastermind behind the Ultimato weblog.

I do not use the word "mastermind" lightly. If you scroll down the weblog (and wait a while for the large number of graphics to load), you will come across one of the most delightful posts I have encountered on the internet. Apparently, Oz discovered this Flash-enabled South Park character generator, and then used it (with an assist from Photoshop) to generate South Park X-Men. He did Cyclops, Jean, Beast, Iceman and Wolverine. I could not resist trying a couple of my own.

Storm

Rogue

And, I couldn't resist.

Professor X

I left a comment on Oz's blog asking if it was all right for me to make an icon using his artwork; I have not yet received permission. (Considering that mine is the only comment not in Portugese, I'm not sure how confident I should be that I'll receive an answer.) The icon has been made and uploaded. I will however hold off on using it for a few days until I've received word back from Oz.

I can't wait to try this! I'll pop back in later with whatever I turn up.

I can't wait!

I still think that the Wesley Clark subliminal icon is just too clever for words!!!

If only I can figure out a fannishly-recognizable avatar for "Howard" and "Dean," I will have an icon primary. I've already got John (Carter) and Kerry (Weaver) from E.R.. I suppose that Dennis Kucinich, Richard Gephardt and Joe Lieberman will be out of the running -- as in real life.

I'm considering even branching out into foriegn politics . . . if I can find an Iain. Duncan from Highlander and Agent Smith from The Matrix up against Tony the Tiger and The Facts of Life's Blair.

I do, however, realize that any such iconographic primary will be swayed by the attractiveness of the various fandoms. I also realize that a lot of people are going to look at my Wesley Clark icon, ignore the rebus, and just think I'm attracted to the pretty boys. That's not true!

Ok. Maybe a little.

Very nice! I like Storm. And the Prof is great.

Thank you!

d'H, how were you able to save the created character? I can't seem to figure that part out.

I did a screenshot (thanks Bit!) -- alt-Prnt Scrn on my Wintel, then pasted that into Photoshop.

Thanks! I'm on Mac OS X. I think I'll be asking my IT people about screen shots. Hmm...now I just gotta come up with a plausible "reason" to know this.

Try a Command-Shift-3.

(Shouldn't excuses for this be easier to think up in your line of work than in most?)

Well, it should be easier but I seem to have somehow acquired a little bit of a trouble maker reputation with the IT dept. They like me but they also know that I tend to ask for things outside the norm. A crazy thing called ambition (What's that?) and the ocassional binge of boredom gets in the way. You know what they say about idle hands. ;o)

When I'm not distracted by that pesky thing called work, I'm fiddling with that South Park generator making pics of the fang gang... soon as I find a decent animated gif generator I'll post 'em.

What's your OS? Bit (my source, apparently, for all graphics related questions) sent me a cute little animation program that works with Windows -- it seems to be created for Windows 95 but works without a hitch on my Win XP machine. Let me know what you're running and I'll mail it to you.

(Oops, that paranthetical should read, "for all graphics related answers." I am the source for all graphics related questions.)

Oh, I'm the source for quite a few graphics-related questions. ;-)

I have my harddrive partitioned... Linux for most everything, but WindowsME to do the few things I haven't figured out how to do with Linux (for instance, getting my TV to work as a second monitor so I can watch DVDs).

GIMP does have the ability to make animated gifs, but it's a bit on the esoteric side, so still figuring it out. If I can figure out where the heck I put my old copy of Image Ready, I'll be thrilled... you can do some really nifty animations with that.

I can send the program, but I have several email addresses for you and am not sure which are active.

What's up with this new icon? It's making me batty.
