Ok, so did anyone else think that the Heavy Metal parody in the most recent Southpark was a) fucking awesome, and b) screamingly funny? Kudos for them using the original music, too. It's great stuff. (You can hear the full versions by checking out videos here and here, though I'd like to say now that I can't vouch for the visuals.)
Then again, this could just be all me. I'm the daughter of a man who went to art school in the late 70s, a man who, upon seeing the cover for the Wolfmother album, nodded in understanding and approval before saying, "That looks like a Frank Frazetta."
"It is," I said, looking at the liner notes. "Who's Frank Frazetta?"
"He's an artist from back when I was your age and younger. He was known for fantasy illustrations of women," he said
"Really?" I replied. "That's odd - the fantasy women you see today are usually really, really thin, but buxom."
"Yeah, but this is Frazetta. He knew how to draw women. Real women. Man, all the guys back at school, we all wanted to be Frazetta." He paused for a moment, remembering.
"Even you, Dad?"
"Yeah! Heck yeah!"
And he agreed that Wolfmother's a pretty damn awesome band, too.
My Dad? Awesome.

His Egyptian Queen isn't anorexic, and that's great.
always been a fan- I'm that much more interested in Wolfmother now knowing they used kickass art for the cover of their album.
huzzah!
And I totally think you'd like Wolfmother - they sound like early Sabbath fronted by young Robert Plant. (Or Jack White, depending on his mood.) And they do one of the finest covers of Led Zeppelin's "Communication Breakdown" I've ever heard. (You can ask
Here, have a video:
good for you
how cool that you have a Dad that you're cool with. it cheered my heart to read this posting. =)
Re: good for you
just print that out
I've never seen Heavy Metal, so this whole thing didn't make sense until I went to Southparkstudios.com. Thank god for that site. It cleared up the great, "Why does Britney Spears have only a third of her head?" mystery for me.
And yeah, Southparkstudios.com and Southparkzone.com are godsends.
Plus the ever-present Cartman/Nazi reference. Who knew he had a soft spot for cats?
I'm assuming that my description was accurate enough that you knew who I was talking about?
Plus, the website in question almost killed me the first time I read it, so it's stuck in my mind.
When you describe the other artist's women, I almost wanna say John Kricfalusi! But, his is more of an obvious cartoonish joke style.
A lot of the painters use models, too, so there's little excuse for bad proportions.
