Honey Boo Boo has been immortalized in cartoon form, in a garish new comic book titled 15 Minutes.

The colorful 23-page magazine charts the seven-year-old's meteoric rise to fame over the past 11 months, from her TV debut in Toddlers and Tiara's to landing her very own reality show.

Explaining his inspiration, writer and illustrator Michael Troy said: 'Andy Warhol’s quote about 15 minutes of fame is one of my favorites and as a pop culture junkie I jumped at the chance to put my spin on spoon fed America’s latest reality obsession.'

Its publisher Darren G. Davis explained that people shouldn't take the magazine too seriously.

He said: 'Clearly this one was meant to be fun for people and not to educate society.

'There are some of these biographies we do for strictly the entertainment value.'

Bluewater's comics have previously featured stars such as One Direction, Katy Perry, Justin Bieber and Demi Lovato.

Its new series '15 Minutes' will focus on personalities from the realms of reality TV, and it hints that Kim Kardashian, and characters from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and Jersey Shore could possibly star in future issues.

It isn't the first time Honey Boo Boo has been imagined in cartoon form.

Last month she starred in an episode of the animated sitcom South Park, along with her mother June Shannon.

The Honey Boo Boo comic is available in print for $3.99, while a digital version is priced at $1.99.

Should they really be exploiting a child this way. I know the parents do but it doesn't mean everyone join in. It looks rather adult to be based on a child.

Poor child. Roll on 10 years later and she will have some substance abuse issue and probably bankrupt . Well done parents.

The "15 minutes" quote has been done to death, along with the rest of the cliches about fame in this artist's work. Easy to pick on a child, easy to put down a poorer, less educated population.

Please someone tell us that her parents are investing all the money she's making for the family. After all is said and done, hope they get enough to pay for a home, and clear up any debt.

Kind of scary how he's sexualising a little kid, although we all know that's her likely path. Especially since her teenage underaged sister is already pregnant.
