He's the only one of the boys--seems to be the only one in the whole school who is only called by his last name most of the time. That's kind of strange, don't you think? Stan, Kyle and Kenny rarely if ever call him Eric, but he doesn't say Marsh, Broflovski (today's spelling), and McCormick.
I remember YEARS ago at the old original crap site (www.crapcrapcrap.com), Jason told the story about how Cartman got his name--I don't remember it all that clearly anymore, but there was a guy named something Karfman that was a heavy set guy. Maybe he was the one that worked with Matt Stone doing landscaping work? Maybe if I try putting it though that archive thing I can find it....or maybe we can ask JASON to tell the story again and include the picture of the guy. The picture, as I remember, looked a like like the full grown successful Cartman that we saw in My Future Self and Me. ANYWAY, in my opinion, the show has always been about Cartman. Trey even said in an interview, when he writes the show, he writes it in terms of this happens, and this is how Cartman reacts to it. Matt and Trey also have said in an interview that Cartman is more like each of them than Stan and Kyle, and if one was to run Jun's website through the babelfish interpreter, he says it too...and he's a room mate and he should know. -------------------- Jesus and I love you.

I think it's done just out of the boys' trotal contempt for him. Nobody wants to be freindly to him, so calling him by his last name shows their disdain.

I get his defenders tekiing me that Cartman IS the show and that was never the case. Then they shoulda named it "The Cartman Show" --------------------  |

Someone really hit on something when they said that Cartman was always called by his last name because they didn't like him. It's true. That's probably why they did it with me. I'm such a freak... :(

Breayle mentioned something about this in the SPS FAQs a while before she left.
Aaaaand ... I found it. (Hurrah for me - eh?) January 30 , 2003 Q. - On a recent FAQ you said that Matt has a wife. That's new information. Is Trey married too? A. - I don't think we've ever said Matt or Trey were married in our FAQ's. And if we did, it was probably a joke. You might be referring to a recent FAQ asking who the inspiration of Eric Cartman was. That was a man named Matt Karpman who just recently got married. January 28, 2003 Q. - I once read that in creating Cartman, Trey was inspired by a high school mate. Was Cartman his actual name? Was he really such a fat piece of crap? You have his photo? A. - His name is Matt Karpman, and yes he's just like Cartman. Matt recently got married, for some reason his wife doesn't think it's funny when people laugh about him being the inspiration to the worlds biggest little asshole. January 3, 2002 Q. - Where did they get the name Cartman? A. - Matt and Trey used their friend Matt Karpman's name as a joke. Cartman has a lot of the same personalities that Matt Karpman has. Matt just recently got married... how would it feel to be married to the guy that inspired one of the most irritating little fat kids? -------------------- The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity.

Cartman put some distance between himself and Karpman in "Scott Tenorman Must Die" when a courier called him Karpman. :) Cartman corrected him.
