Mr. Garrison was in part inspired by a kindergarten teacher who taught Trey Parker, and who used a puppet named Mr. Hat as a teaching resource. Mr. Garrison was also inspired by a British literature professor Parker had at the University of Colorado; Parker said the voice he uses for the character is a dead-accurate impression of him. Parker said he believes Mr. Garrison has become one of the most complex characters on South Park, particularly due to his ever-growing relationship with Mr. Hat and his sexuality and gender issues; Parker said of Mr. Garrison, "He's the soap opera element to the whole series. [He] has a real story going on." #KenCollects #MrGarrison #HerbertGarrison #MrHat #SouthPark #MattStone #TreyParker #ComedyCentral #funko #funkopop #funkofamily #funkopops #funkomania #funkofunatic #funkofanatic #funkopopvinyl #popvinyl #originalfunko #funkoaddict #funkocollector #popfunko #funkophotoaday #funkocollection #funkovinyl #funkocommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/BsQP326ASsq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rjdu5wdpoggn
