Here’s another fun design project by Minnesota illustrator David Schwen. It’s a poster depicting nine beer cans representing characters from across varying pop cultures. The identity of some of the cans are fairly obvious while others were inscrutably unknown to me, presumably because I’ve become more old curmudgeon and less with-it-hipster (though to be fair I was happily never one of the cool kids). I can say with certainty I knew 6 of 9 — itself a pop reference — or one-third of them right off the bat. Two more I figured out, more or less, and the remaining one I never got, though now that I know it, it makes sense. Think you know them all? Leave a comment identifying all nine.

With Father’s day less than two weeks away, I thought I’d share this fun project done by the folks at Every Guyed, where they designed eight beer can dads. Here’s the idea: To celebrate Father’s Day, EveryGuyed and Moxy Creative House have teamed up once again to deliver the second installment of the ‘Cheers!’. This time we had creative director Glenn Michael raise a glass — and his brush — to 8 iconic animated dads, re-envisioning them as beer cans. When you were a kid, Father’s Day was a pretty boring affair. Now you’re of age, and all of a sudden you have the chance to do something with your dad that he’ll actually enjoy: share a cold one together. See if you can guess all of the cartoon dads. The answers are below. Click on the image above to see a slideshow of all the posters. Homer Simpson Peter Griffin (Family Guy) Fred Flintstone Papa Smurf Popeye George Jetson Mr. Incredible Mufasa (The Lion King) You can even buy any of the prints as a poster at Moxy Creative House.

I’m not sure what to think about Arnie’s career choice after being Governor of California, certainly this preserves the dignity of the office? It won’t be out until 2012, but the super hero cartoon, The Governator, has Arnie playing himself in cartoon form. Frankly, that’s always how I saw him.

Remember the Governator Ale, that Portland Brewing did back in 2003? Despite being a public figure, and the bottle not actually showing the then-Governor, Arnie’s team of lawyers put a stop to it in short order. But, curiously, now he’s trademarked the term “Governator.” I hope they at least paid something to whoever coined the term. It certainly wasn’t Arnie.
