I wanted to give a sense of 'character' with these guys, similar to how they are in the TV show. Stan and Kyle: the normal, everyday, good mates. Cartman: the loud, obnoxious, obese kid, and of course, Kenny: the one who would die or be horribly injured in almost every episode.

__Update 3:__ Somewhere between Wordpress, TextMate, and the Markdown plugin, my post got corrupted and ended up in mixed HTML/Markdown. It should be fixed now.

This obviously won’t be a problem if you mount the board directly to the wall, but if you want a freestanding board like me, you may want to look into using a stiffer backing board such as real plywood or OSB, or build a stiffer frame. I’m going to look at building a frame out of 1"x1" on the back of the board to stiffen it up. Update: Welcome, Makers!
