From the deep, dark recesses of 2008's San Diego Comic-Con (really, there are no deep, dark recesses at San Diego Comic-Con) comes this nifty promotional shirt hocking Watchmen.

For the record, I didn't think it was a bad film at all, a worthy adaptation of the award-winning comic series and graphic novel.
This "Japanese bootleg" shirt was purchased long, long ago in a magical land far south in California (San Diego) from multiple Eisner Award winning cartoonist Shannon Wheeler himself, creator of Too Much Coffee Man, God Is Disappointed In You and other works. Which is all very well and fine, sir, but ... what does it say?
It seems like ages since I put in a Kickstarter backing for Douglas Arthur's 20th Anniversary reprints.
I contributed not only funds but I submitted a forward for one of the volumes. (Thankfully, it wasn't rejected.) For my efforts, one of the rewards was this spiffy "backers only" T-shirt, the latest shirt in my extensive collection. Yet to be washed, brand spankin' new, never ironed and first time donned, it is presented here for your dining and dancing pleasure. Boom. Interested or curious about the reprints? You can purchase them here along with other delights.
Basically, if you don't know the reference you've never seen the terrific 90s film The Sandlot.
And, if that's the case, go, right now, and get a copy of it and peruse. After all, it's summertime, the perfect time for a baseball movie.

P.S. Porter looks a bit frantic and bug-eyed in the image. Chalk that up to my fuzzy self-portrait cell phone camera photographic skills. You're welcome.
Yeah, you've seen this one before. But I'm including it here again as part of the official T-shirt collection.
You might notice it's worn and sweaty looking. That's because one of the favorite places I like wearing it is out in public and especially so when I'm working construction and around people. It's a conversation starter. Besides, regardless of the fact you've seen it previously, she beat the bastard.
