The Mayor Najarian resemblance to Mayor Quimby thing is pure gold.

It’s on LAist, too, and who knows where else… you really hit it.

Parks, Perry, Wesson are especially perfect, noses and all — all the other do have the same nose, but Zine’s is actually more like these African-Americans and Garcetti and Weiss have tinier ones. Somehow Rosendahl does look good in yellow — he loves to be flashy, when he’s not in his Council suit and tie.

The generic huge grin is ready-made for the Mayor.

You need to make Villaraigosa, with a Mayor's sash. If you did the Mayor of Glendale, no need for any "Simpsonization." Apparently, the Militant has heard a running joke that Mayor Ara Najarian is already a spitting image of Diamond Joe Quimby.

This was picked up by the Daily News today, by the way (Mariel Garza’s column, in Opinion), and all the editors there loved it. So you’ve got a bigger audience than just here… Really clever.

You think they’ll enlarge this and put it up at City Hall?

You did a great job, David.

If you haven’t already, you really should forward this link to all of them.

I’m sure they’d get a huge kick out of it.

“white” characters in the simpsons universe are yellow. asian characters are pale yellow. rosendahl is the only white guy whose simpsonization is the correct color.

Linda: for the most part, I based skin tone on the pix I could find. Reyes didn’t have many to work with, and the ones I did find didn’t show a darker complexion.
Rosendahl is yellow just because I thought he looked cooler in yellow.

To Militant Angeleno: Good observation. But the ones you mention are caricatures of themselves already, don’t even need to be morphed into toons. I think Wesson is pretty right-on, too.

But they made all the white guys look the same: gee, is it really that hard to tell them apart?

And why is Reyes the only Hispanic with white, not brown skin? Did he convert out of La Raza recently?

Thanks all.

Angeleno: I was more disappointed in the results for Tom LaBonge – his energy alone makes him a candidate to be a real life Simpsons character (and I mean that in a good way, naysayers).
