There are a number of artists making the most of the ridiculous circus that is popular culture these days: Brandon Bird is a favorite. Gallery of the Absurd is too.
Recently I discovered another. Aiyana Udesen.
Yes, she has the usual Britney With Baby Pinguin sketches, but my favorite feature on her website are the scanned HOW TO books (zines?) with the fantastic, bizarre, self-explanatory titles of Drawing Nelly & Emperor Penguin, Drawing Pamela & Rat Snake, Drawing Mariah & House Mouse, and finally, Drawing Worf and Wolf.
Well illustrated, but oh so snarky, these drawings are the epitome of making lemonade from the sour, rotten lemons of our popular culture.
