Weekly Shtuff 2-22-2013

Need some input here. I’m thinking about getting some t-shirts made for Necronomicon (and which I can maybe sell via this site later) but I’m not sure what to put on them. I personally don’t like pictures on shirts, but I don’t like asparagus either, so I’m not the be all and end all of opinion. My thought is to simply put the logo, red Lovecraft, white is Missing, on a black shirt. I can center it, or I can make it small and put it in the pocket area. Is that too simple? Should I add Necronomicon 2013 to the mix? Any other ideas?

There’s another new screensaver by Natasha Alterici up this week, free for voting for Lovecraft is Missing at Top Web Comics. Remember, you can vote once a day.

I keep slugging along, but I’m getting closer and closer to running out of material. I have the next two pages up and ready to go, and I’m working on the next several, but as I’ve said, there will come a time when I am going to have to break. I think that’s better than putting up pages sporadically. And I’ve already felt that I’ve rushed certain pages, so I don’t want that pressure forcing me to rush even more. I’ll give you plenty of notice, and I’ll set a return date before I stop, as always. Dang life! Always getting in the way of the really important stuff.

I’m currently hung up on the final Boss fight in Dead Space 2. Overall, it’s not as good a game as the first one, and it’s likely I can’t finish it anyway. From the cheats I’ve read (after trying to win it on my own for a couple of hours) you have to have specific weapons, which I don’t have and which I can’t go back and get. And I don’t like the game well enough to go back to an earlier save and work my way forward again. Had the same problem with the final battle in Gears of War. Shame to enjoy a game right up to the last minute and then get stumped, but life is too damn short to keep repeating the same scene over and over again.

    Take my thoughts with a big grain of salt (since I won’t be buying a t-shirt in any case), but I think that putting the Con name on the shirt will hurt sales outside the con. If you think you can sell 2 dozen shirts at the con, print the con name on the first 12 or 15. Hopefully you won’t have any left over, that are con specific.

    I’ve really been enjoying the story, keep up the good work.

    Warm regards, Rick

    One understands t-shirts have to be “ironic”, these days.

    Hope you got the link to my filler article?

    I vote for a teeshirt with a picture of an asparagus on it. Then you can face to fears at once.

    I know, I’m no help.

    Not that Iam aware of. I’ll check again now. When did you send it?

    I think the picture of lovecraft that’s in the top right corner of the site would work, along with the logo, as you’ve already suggested.

    Suggest coffee mug with some kind of iconic scene from LIM: something that raises a question & invites people to ask “what is that?”

    Howzabout a Young Tom chia pet?

    @Lovecraf: Last month.
    Oh dear.

    For your tee shirt, if it can be printed decently, the image of Thomas Malone growing tentacular.

    Also … the worshipers under the Candel Shoppe were waiting for Young Tom to become or to do. Would they worship St. Germaine if they knew what he is?

    And is Toobin the same kind of being?

    I vote for Win’s rendition of the Cthulhu statue. Rakishly skewed, of course.
