How I Got My Cartoon Character (The Sly Guy)

Posted on Sep 11, 2008 

Filed Under: Miscellaneous

Ok. So a lot of people have been asking me how I got my cartoon character. For those of you that noticed, it resembles a Simpson character. That’s because it really is a Simpsonized version of me.

So how did I get it? Well, back when the Simpson Movie was released last year, Burger King had helped with the promotion of the movie by creating a promotional site called Simpsonize Me. When I had been watching TV one day, I had seen one of their commercials where they showed the link to the site. I visited it, checked out all the things you can do, and voila… The Sly Guy was created. 

There you have it. If you’d like to Simpsonize yourself, go ahead and visit Simpsonize Me to…well, Simpsonize yourself. If you can, save the image on your desktop so you can post it up on the comments below. We’d love to see the Simpson version of you.
:)

    This is a really cool idea. So smart, you don’t even need to pay anyone to do anything for you. It is all for free. I am going to do this…but right now I don’t have the time

    Sly,

    That is a pretty sly trick. Thanks for sharing. I tried to do it, but it told me to come back later. I guess you are driving too much traffic to the site.

    Will give it a go, thanks!

    I forgot all about that site, thanks for mentioning it! This will undoubtedly lead to more hours spent during my day in search of petty laughs from coworkers.

    LOL! That’s funny. I get the same question about my caricature quite often. I had an artist design mine from an actual picture of me though. You mean I could’ve got one free from Burger King???

    Cheers!
