Oktoberfest T-shirt

New Oktoberfest t-shirt design for 2014. I decided that my very first tshirt design needed an update for 2014. So here it is along with other holiday designs. So when it is time for Oktoberfest whether in Munich or Zinzinnati (Cincinnati), it is time to “Grab Your Sausage and Have Fun” Because what is funnier than a man in Lederhosen grabbing an oversized chunk of meat.

Of course saying “Wienerschnitzel” instead of “Sausage” would have been funnier but they are two completely different things.

In addition to my cafepress store, I also added this design to my Society6 site in case anyone prefers their shirts.

When Food Goes Bad

It is interesting how one thing inspires the next. Thinking about smells in my last post got me thinking about when food goes bad. Which of course drove an image of a gang of bad food, which of course led that group of a moldy steak, cracked egg, and sour milk to end up in a police line-up. Don’t ask me how my brain works.

So of course it was time to do a long overdue tshirt design and this is what I came up with. Think it might be good for a baby bib or kids shirt so I put them on all those things now available on my store.

It was fun experimenting with a single color palette of blue. Anything you see that is dark blue lines used to be black. I think I need to do a tutorial for Photoshop (Elements) users on how easy it is to change your line color after the fact.

Anyone ever have food poisoning?? I think I am up to four times in my life, but I eat out a bunch.

Matzah Balls Tshirt

Long time readers might recognize the design for “I Got Your Matzah Balls Right Here” because I posted it last year and asked if I should put it on a tshirt. Well guess what. I forgot to do it until now. Available on WackSack.com (I really need to rebrand all that to beartoons but obviously I am lazy).

So run out and get this Passover friendly shirt to show the world you are not happy to forego unleavened bread during the seder. Oh and if you aren’t Jewish…well show some attitude anyway.

Also for those who prefer posts via email you will be happy to know I now have an email subscription thingy on the right thanks to Tony. Also if you want updates on when I reply to your comments that button is now available too.

Sinning T-shirt

So much has been said about Charlie Sheen and his “Winning” slogan. Everyone wants to emulate Charlie and there are a ton of “Winning” shirts out there. But if you are going to be an ass in public (or just a little devilish imp) why not call a spade a spade and sport a “Sinning” t-shirt. Now available in the store.

I think it fits in nicely with all the 7 Deadly Sins that I did last year.

St Paddy’s Day 2011

Ok so I posted the same thing last year but I have 3 more regular commenters who may not have gone back so far in the archives. Click here for all the products with this design.

Don’t forget St. Patricks day is once again March 17 so what are your plans??

Oh and if you want something new, here it is. If you ever find yourself in the back alleys of St Louis Missouri make sure to stop into SpilledInkGuy (aka Robert J.) and his lovely wife Anna’s store Paint the Moon. There you can see some of his artwork and also paint your own pottery. I’ll be sure to make a stop next time I am in the city. Then again, it has been fifteen years since the last time I was there.

Is this Toooooo Offensive??
Everyone knows I have no problems walking the edge of good taste. Of course the wife loved it as we both laughed uncomfortably at this given the TSA issue in the news. One one hand, I think it is a great play on words. On the other I would never want to minimize the effects of someone who has actually been raped or make too much light of it.

So I am leaving it up to you. Offensive or not.
Is this too offensive to put on a t-shirt

Yes

No

Editorial Cartoon: TSA Pat Downs

I have noticed over the last week a sudden uptick in visitors looking at my previous Body Scanner cartoon. So I thought I would delight them with what turned out to be one of my own personal favorites.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the creepy old guy depicted, he is Herbert, the creepy old guy from the Family Guy cartoon. I was going to have him say something about excusing his shaky hand but thought this was better.

And of course, I had to jump on the bandwagon with my own “Don’t Touch My Junk” shirt.

Plus right now is a good time to buy this as you save $10 on orders of $50+ in my shop during the CafePress Friends & Family Sale November 20-23. So shop our store, wacksack.com and use code: Friend10.

CONTEST:

Now since our friend Brit is out there with a contest trying to get followers by offering cookies, I thought I would try my own. The first person to buy the “Don’t Touch My Junk” t-shirt and gets video of themselves going through airport security wearing it will win a $50 Cafepress Gift Certificate that you can use on my store or any other Cafepress store. (Update: So the wife had a point that it might be against airport regulations to take pictures at security so as not to get anyone in trouble I’m switching things up. If I get at least 5 people to buy the shirt and send me a picture of them wearing it in a funny situation, I’ll have my readers pick their favorite and that person will win a $50 Cafepress Gift Certificate.)

Oktoberfest Tshirt

Long time readers may remember this shirt but given it is a top seller at the store, it is one I like to highlight each year. This is the first t-shirt I ever designed for the store: it depicts a guy in lederhosen carrying a large sausage. The back say’s “Grab your Sausage and Have Fun”.

Why highlight an Oktoberfest shirt the end of August? Well, while Munich Germany’s Oktoberfest actually runs into October (Sept 18 – October 3), Cincinnati celebrates it smack dab in September (the 18th and 19th) and Covington, KY (right across the river from Cincinnati) celebrates the weekend before.

Quick trivial facts. Cincinnati has the largest Oktoberfest celebration in the United States. Last year an astute commenter indicated that it was Canada that held the distinction of the largest outside of Germany. However, he is wrong according to my spot Wikipedia sources. The largest celebration outside Germany is in Blumenau, BRAZIL! But here is where Cincinnati gets back some of it’s swagger. Estimates for the Canadian and Brazilian Oktoberfest are in the 700,000’s. However each lasts about a week. Cincinnati pulls in around 500,000 people in just 2 days. Now who drinks more?

Shirt of the Month: Got Hole?

Shirt sales at my store are funny like Stumpleupon. With Stumble Upon, I can get no traffic for weeks and then all of the sudden I notice a blog I wrote weeks earlier suddenly is getting hits. Same with my store. I can go weeks without a sale and then suddenly something starts selling with no explanatin.

This month it has been my “Got Hole?” tshirt. For the uninitiated it is an outdoor game much like a cross between curling and horseshoes. In Cincinnati, we call it CORN HOLE (yes plenty of references can be made) and in other areas it is sometimes known as Baggo. The idea is that there are two sloped boxes each with a hole in the middle. Players take turns throwing bean bags towards the box across the way while trying to knock the other players bag off the box. One point for landing on the box and three for getting it in the hole.

While I am always happy for the sales, it is frustrating that the design that was probably one of the easiest I did is selling so well while the ones I spend several hours on lay dormant.

Three days left in the Charity Challenge. I’ll post results on Tuesday!
