New shirt from WizWorld #2: DuckTales! Woo hoo!
This tribute to The Disney Afternoon and now a new ongoing series on Disney XD with David Tennant as Scrooge McDuck and Kate Miccuci as Webbigail! It was a gift from my friend Ayako and I couldn’t wait to wear it. … Continue reading
Finally…My Life as a Teenage Robot on a shirt
Here is the title character Jenny (model XJ-9) from a short-lived yet awesome Nickelodeon cartoon created by Rob Renzetti. I loved it because of the retro Art Deco style (many hard angles) and the main plot point was Jenny striving … Continue reading
Wonder Woman doesn’t take crap…
…or more appropriately, some creep trying to grab her just because he’s allegedly good at making deals with Themyscira. I think the Amazons would probably go back into hiding since the West is losing its collective mind given the US … Continue reading
Spaceship! Spaceship! Spaceship!
The cheaper souvenir I bought from Brick Fiesta was this shirt paying tribute to Lego’s 40th anniversary with the Space sets. It’s not Benny though, this astronaut’s helmet is intact. Lego has come a long way. Now the faces have … Continue reading
Let my freak flag fly #3
Christmas 1981, my parents bought me the boxed set sequel to the Basic Game…Expert! They didn’t know D&D was divided into two different “brands.” I was more into the Advanced, hardback books and needed the Dungeonmaster’s Guide, but I really didn’t … Continue reading
Green Arrow! On a shirt
My second T-Shirt acquisition from WizWorld. Before he was a poor-man’s Batman via Arrow on the CW, Green Arrow was Batman, Green Lantern and Hawkman’s Liberal foil. I wish DC Comics would bring back the Errol Flynn-influenced look Neal Adams gave … Continue reading
Bob Ross and his Brush Fu!
I am a little tired of all the jokes and kitsch surrounding the Bob Ross revival, this shirt was very funny.
Planet of the Apes shirt!
One horrible habit I have at WizWorld is acquiring cool shirts of franchises I will never see at Hot Topic or find easily online. An upside is retiring other, older, existing shirts which no longer amuse me. This gem is … Continue reading
Let my freak flag fly #2
This artwork by Erol Otus was the cover of my first D&D Basic Set circa 1981. Erol was often someone people really hated because I think he took a more unconventional route. As per this painting: the wizard is a … Continue reading
Let my freak flag fly #1
This incarnation is probably the version of D&D most people around my age remember, the terrible Saturday-morning cartoon. Despite being in high school when it debuted on CBS in 1983, I would make the effort get up and watch it. … Continue reading
Lady Bunny shirt!
Last week, I did some research on Lady Bunny because she does the vocals on the latest album from Ursula 1000 (“Blast Off”). I had a feeling she is a drag queen due to her voice having a similar range … Continue reading
Got my MST3K booster shirt!
I chipped on what became the biggest Kickstarter of all time and one of the first rewards arrived in the mail the other day. There were some post cards too but I can’t wear them.
New Star Wars shirt
This awesome tribute to Star Wars and VJ-Day was purchased sadly right before Carrie Fisher died. It will be my personal memorial to her.
Princess Leia fan, right on!
Face is blurred out to protect the sweet person’s identity but I love the shirt and I want to encourage little people of both genders to be unafraid to promote their heroes, even if they’re fictional.
Korra the Avatar
A very skilled artist who rendered each arm bending a separate element with its name (probably) in Chinese. You know I got a small for the real Kora I know through association.
