Examples

  • 1999, May 18. "'Inside Story' takes scathing look at kiddie-pageant world', South Coast Today. This parody features his patented use of human thumbs with special-effects faces as such Lucasesque characters as Loke Groundrunner, Princess Bunhead, Hand Duet, Churchaka and Gabba the Butt.
  • 2005, May 1. Henry Fountain, "Episode VII: Revenge of the Writers", The New York Times. And a lot of that comes from the very simplistic, 2-D Lucasesque view of what science fiction has to offer.
