Oh, Facebook ads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n

What is this, my friends? That’s Bob Larkin’s cover artwork to J.A. Lawrence’s Mudd’s Angels<\/em>. Harry Mudd and three scantily clad women, the starship Enterprise<\/em> overhead. It’s a fantastic cover… but it makes a very strange shirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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<\/em> anthology, Seven Deadly Sins<\/em>, which focused on the villain races of the Star Trek<\/em> universe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wild and weird.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, there’s this Washington Nationals\/Peanuts<\/em> hoodie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You crazy sons of bitches. I like<\/em> this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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<\/em> baseball jerseys I usually see<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Could I use<\/em> 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No. No. I’m not doing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not doing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But damn, I am tempted<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
