Recently I’ve noticed that Trey Parker seems to write all the South Park episodes, and it doesn’t seem that Matt Stone writes any? He is still listed in the credits as doing the voices though.

I thought South Park was a Lennon/McCartney joint venture between Parker and Stone. Is it more Simon/Garfunkel?

Anybody know anything about this?

I don’t the answer, but I’ve been curious about this myself.

Matt Stone seems quite intelligent from his interview in _Bowling for Columbine_. Maybe he’s just the PR guy, though.
