Pop Culture Dads BBQ

With father figures like these, you are going to be one messed up kid. Dads by Nathan Stapley for his upcoming solo show at Gallery 1988. Looking forward to seeing a larger version, but so far I can identify Marlin (Finding Nemo), Poseidon, Walter White (Breaking Bad), Clark Griswold, Darth Vader, Henry Jones, Sr., Jack Torrance, Homer Simpson, Mr. Incredible and Mrs. Doubtfire, to name a few.

Batman Boba Fett

Because he's the bounty hunter the galaxy deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So he'll hunt the scum and villainy because he can take it. Because he's not our bounty hunter. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight. (Bobatman by Plinio Pinto at Draw2D2)

The Galactic Empire Times

If you haven't seen this parody of the New York Times/death of Osama bin Landen, it's worth checking out. It's got online news media down to a science, complete with comments: "Why are we still giving aid to Tatooine? They probably knew of Kenobi's existence the whole time and even helped him! That whole planet is just a big hive of scum and villainy." to op-eds: "Their Only Hope: The War on the Rebllion After Obi-Wan Kenobi"

Actually, it's the comments that really make it. (Thanks, @boyreporter)

"I’m so glad your brought this in today, it really is a one-of-a-kind. This smuggler is encased in carbonite, Mr. Fett. Were you aware of that? Can you tell me about how it came into your family?

This carbonite Han Solo, if sold at auction today, in the great condition it is in, would probably fetch anywhere between 25,000 and 35,000 galactic credits."

Boba Fett: "He's worth a lot to me."

I can't be sure where this came from originally, but I found it Shopped Sci Fi.
