Carbon Costume Cartoons
Stan Marsh
Arguably the most “normal” of the main South Park four, Stan Marsh has often served as the voice of logical reason throughout the show’s many seasons. The town of South Park’s well-being is constantly being terrorized by one threat or another, and when the town’s adults are too oblivious (or drunk) to do anything about it, Stan and his group of friends are left to reluctantly save the day. For Stan’s pants and shoes, any blue pants and black shoes will do the trick.
Roger Klotz
Roger is the arch-nemesis of Doug and the primary antagonist of the show. A stereotypical bully, he goes out of his way to taunt or harass Doug whenever possible. Roger was held back several times, making him significantly older than the rest of the show’s characters.
Alan Rails
Alan Rails (Lance Reddick) was a member of the superhero group The Vindicators in Rick & Morty. After the tragic death of his parents in a freak train accident, he gained the ability to summon ghost trains and uses them as tools or weapons. He was married to fellow Vindicator, Supernova (Gillian Jacobs), up until their divorce due to an alleged affair between her and Million Ants (Tom Kenny).
Comic Book Guy
The Simpsons’ Comic Book Guy is notoriously pedantic, annoying, and above all else, lonely. You may want to trim the wig a little bit to really capture his receding hairline. Also: grabbing a slushie from your local 7-Eleven on the way to your event would definitely help breathe authenticity into this cosplay.
Penelope Pitstop
Penelope Pitstop is a fictional character who appeared in the Hanna-Barbera animated series Wacky Races alongside Dick Dastardly and Muttley, and starred in the spin-off The Perils of Penelope Pitstop.
Tetsuo from Akira
Akira is a timeless and critically-acclaimed anime from 1988 in which a biker gang in cyberpunk Neo-Tokyo clashes with a secret government telekinesis program. One of the bikers, Tetsuo, is granted unstoppable telekinetic abilities after accidentally colliding with one of the program’s ESPers. Finally powerful for the first time in his life, Tetsuo begins to lose his grip on reality as he abuses his newfound powers and they begin to grow out of his control.
Gon Freecss
Gon Freecss is a young Hunter and along with his best friend Killua Zoldyck is the protagonist of the anime/manga shounen series Hunter x Hunter. Finding his father is Gon’s motivation in becoming a Hunter. His weapon of choice is a fishing pole.
Joker (1989)
In 1989’s Batman, Joker (Jack Nicholson) becomes the Joker as we know him after mobster Carl Grissom sets up his second-in-command to be killed in a vat of chemicals. It doesn’t finish him off, but leaves him depraved and disfigured, with a maniacal laugh and deadly vendetta. Nicholson’s is a classic look that’s since been re-interpreted by Heath Ledger and Jared Leto.
