Joe Torcivia's The Issue At Hand Blog: Chia…WHO?

Saturday, December 17, 2011

Saw this in the supermarket last night.

Honestly, doesn’t this defeat the respective purposes of both “Chia” and Homer Simpson?

Chris Barat said...: Joe,

Looks as if "Chia Homer" is morphing into Disco Stu.

Joe Torcivia said...: If anything, it reminds me of that moment in “The Rabbit of Seville”, when Bugs douses Elmer Fudd’s scalp with plant grower -- and grass and flowers sprout atop his head!; December 17, 2011 at 12:00 PM
Joe Torcivia said...: …Indeed, one wonders if that scene might have actually been the inspiration for “Chia Everything”.; December 17, 2011 at 12:02 PM
Comicbookrehab said...: There's a Chia Spongebob, Chia Scooby Doo, and a Chia Garfield as well.

Odd - there is no Chia Elmer Fudd, but I recall seeing a Chia Tazmanian Devil. Aside from "Wambo" t-shirts, Elmer merchandise is pretty rare.; December 19, 2011 at 11:20 AM
Joe Torcivia said...: Elmer may not be heavily merchandised because his character is a pasty and a loser. Yosemite Sam may be the same, but he’s also tough, and ornery – and that somehow makes a difference. Just as Homer Simpson and Peter Griffin may be patsies as well, but their loutish behavior makes them, in some way, more fun. At least that’s MY theory.

Does Chia-Spongebob grow seaweed? Or, dare I say… er, “Plankton”?

Makes me glad there was never a Chia-Cheech and Chong!; December 19, 2011 at 8:47 PM
