[QUOTE=ArchiveGuy] Abe Simpson is hilarious–he’s even got a story that keeps going and going… [/QUOTE] Yeah, I just re-read that. Nuns, the Army, Foghorn Leghorn… that one had everything except an onion on his belt! Oh course, they didn’t have white onions… because if the _war_. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones… ---

That one and the Simpsons and Futurama anime-like drawings were done by [Space Coyote](http://spacecoyote.deviantart.com/) at Deviant Art. Check out her “American Cartoon Fanart” in her Gallery section. She has Chalmers, Skinner and Sideshow Bob as well. Unfortunately, she doesn’t offer a print of the Calvin & Hobbes ☹ ---

From the linked site, > [@](#): > > For clarification, these aren’t studies of what Homer would look like if he was a real person, its just what a cartoon like Homer would look like if he kept his toon proportions but had realistic texturing and lighting ---

[QUOTE=Lobsang] For OG sake do the rest of the cast! On a similar vein - [http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v98/lobley/000bcca2lb0.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v98/lobley/000bcca2lb0.jpg) [/QUOTE] The first thing I saw was Smithers, and I thought, Jeez, they really tried to make him look stereotypically homosexual, and then I saw everyone else and thought the same thing. Cool picture. ---

[DEL]How Homer Simpson might look in the flesh.[/DEL] Okay, I was bored at work. Google images + MS Paint + 7 minutes = [How Homer Simpson might look in Any Which Way but Loose!](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3026/2350975879_801e6248a3.jpg) [Compare](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2012/2351822526_39f9df3070.jpg) and [contrast](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3026/2350975879_801e6248a3.jpg). Okay, at least that’s what _I_ saw. ---

Another artist did a more realistically proportioned [real Homer](http://www.robertoparada.com/gallery2/homer.html), but I think this one better captures Homer’s unusual physique. ---
