Chibi Rorschach T-Shirt

Your eyes do not deceive you, that *IS* a t-shirt with a chibi version of Rorschach, with a bloody butcher's knife that says "Need Help?" underneath. Incidentally, that noise you hear is the sound of Alan Moore of rolling around in his yet un-dug grave.

I've seen it a couple of times before, but the last time I was there, I decided to snap a picture of it with my (incredibly lame) cell phone camera. The store in question is New Yorker. I tried looking around their catalog for a better photo, but they don't seem to have one. It wasn't the only one of this kind, as they seemed to have others with horror-movie characters (all of them chibi-ed), such as Freddy, Jason, and the puppet from Saw.

I have a very strong suspicion that this is not exactly legally licensed material.

I'm sure it's just different enough to not need legal licensing, which blows.

Though you could have taken a better photo, with your camera, at home, as you wore it. We all know you bought it.

I *was* tempted. They even had it on sale, it was like 6 euros.

It would be the perfect t-shirt to wear to cons and troll people.

The Ampersand Manifesto

Note from the author: This original manifesto is terribly outdated, but I thought I'd leave it here for old time's sake.

The origin of this blog came about when I realized that my writing has become rather rusty. My literary muscles have grown weak and flabby and the only solution to it is to flex and exercise them, until they go back to their former state.

Everyone knows that you should write about what you love, and what I love is comics. I read them, I join discussions about them, I periodically hate them (and hate is just the flip side of love), so the decision to make a blog about comics came about rather easily.

My first thought was to do a weekly review of the comics that came out, but to be honest, there's plenty of other blogs that have been doing it for longer than I have and probably do it far better than I would. So instead I decided to write about what I am reading at the moment, whether it is old or new, good or bad, interesting or boring. I will try my very best to have one daily post or at least seven weekly posts.
