Fantastic Blognanza!

(Preface: today’s post isn’t so much about the first shirt as it is about the second. The more you know.)

Sam and Fuzzy is another one of my very favorite webcomics, although these new designs by webcartoonist Sam Logan don’t carry quite the import that Aaron Diaz’s did. After all, ol’ S.L. has been running his online store for some time now. Not to devalue his new threads, of course! It’s just familiar territory for the guy is all.

Dr. Crab Can Fix YOUR Problem at the Sam and Fuzzy Online Store:
$19.00 for Men, $20.00 for Women, $41.00 for Hoodie-Folk

The first of these new designs falls comfortably into the “amusing in-joke probably only intelligible to loyal readers and few others” category that most webcomics frequent, dependent upon its non sequitur appeal as far as anyone else is concerned. A great deal of Sam Logan’s shirts follow suit, in fact — enough to warrant some meta-commentary on the subject in shirt form,¹ at any rate. While I enjoyed Dr. Crab’s eccentric antics, I’m far more excited about this week’s other t-shirt offering:

Ninja Showdown at the Sam and Fuzzy Online Store:
$19.00 for Men, $20.00 for Women, $41.00 for Hoodie-Folk

I’m glad Sam finally decided to deviate from his tried-and-true “simple-image/witty-text” formula — you can read his thoughts on the subject in the rantspace here if you really want to — and can’t help but wonder how I can convice him to deviate like this more often.² One of the reasons I continue to patronize³ this webcomic is its attractively ornate inkwork, and I’d certainly like to see more of it represented in Sam Logan’s commercial endeavors.⁴

Anyway, those are the shirts, there are the links, so visit the shop! But, as I said earlier, you might be pretty confused by what you find. Although, if you find that you want to purchase precisely three shirts, then be sure to check out this nifty Three Pack and save!⁵

Expensiveness: $19.00 for Lads, $20.00 for Lassies, $41.00 for Whatevers (I mean Persons Predisposed to Purchasing Hoodies .. or PPPH)

¹Whoaa, so postmodern! Kind of?
²You don’t want to deviate too much, though — that’s when the crazies start to set in.
³The good kind of “patronize”!
⁴Man, I can’t help but think of Bill Watterson, but his objections to cartoon syndicates’ penchant for shameless licensing doesn’t really apply here because the strip is independently owned and operated? That sounds about right.
⁵Seven dollars, specifically.
