Please tell me the origin of "starving like Marvin".

Starvin' Marvin was a character in the U.S. television program "South Park." But I don't know which came first -- the character or the phrase.

109 Starving Marvin (Thanksgiving Special) The boys order a watch but instead get an Ethiopian boy; meanwhile, raging turkeys terrorize the town.
