Oh, Facebook ads.
Did Facebook serve me something interesting? Oh, yes, indeed. Who doesn’t want to wear some fine Bob Larkin artwork on a shirt. Like, this shirt.
What is this, my friends? That’s Bob Larkin’s cover artwork to J.A. Lawrence’s Mudd’s Angels. Harry Mudd and three scantily clad women, the starship Enterprise overhead. It’s a fantastic cover… but it makes a very strange shirt.
I’m fascinated by the bootleg merchandise — and that’s what this is, CBS didn’t authorize this — that uses artwork from licensed tie-ins. I remember one shirt that used the cover to the Star Trek anthology, Seven Deadly Sins, which focused on the villain races of the Star Trek universe.
Wild and weird.
Then, there’s this Washington Nationals/Peanuts hoodie.
You crazy sons of bitches. I like this.
I feel like I’d wear this if were twenty years younger. I like the design with the baseball-themed comic strips, and the light gray color works. It feels better conceptualized than the Peanuts baseball jerseys I usually see.
Could I use a hoodie? Yeah, I could. Hoodies kinda became my go-to casual garment after COVID, and even on in-office days it wasn’t unusual to find me in my office wearing a hoodie.
No. No. I’m not doing it.
Not doing it.
But damn, I am tempted.
