South Park Playing Cards
South Park characters and famous one-liners, by Carta Mundi for Hasbro Int. Inc., 2001.
South Park first aired in 1997 and has since become one of the most critically acclaimed TV cartoons of all time. The animated sitcom created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone and developed by Brian Graden for Comedy Central revolves around four boys – Cartman, Stan, Kenny, and Kyle – who here appear on all the court cards and Aces. Other characters appear on the remaining cards. Each is accompanied by one of his or her famous one-liners. The same designs are used in each suit but set against a different coloured background for each suit. Double-ended designs throughout. See the box►
