    • Took a break to look at used pool tables on Craigslist, for the studio. Oh man that'd be a dangeous road of lost productivity, right there.

    Exclusive ComicCon T-Shirts

    Wednesday, July 18, 2007 - 05:50 PM

    Triple bits of fun news on the ComicCon front:

    1.) There is the possibility -- the possibility, mind you -- that the new Sheldon book could be available at ComicCon. They probably won't arrive Wednesday or Thursday...but there's a chance they'll be there for Friday/Saturday/Sunday. Watch the blog for updates, I'll know more as we get closer!

    2.) This year, there will be ComicCon-Exclusive Sheldon T-shirts for sale! Not available online, these super-soft, super-awesome "American Apparel" shirts are only available in San Diego at booth #1330. Check 'em out:

    ...if you have an interest in the shirts, but can't make it to the 'Con -- drop me a line. If enough folks are interested in them, I'll consider putting 'em up for sale on the site.

    3.) We'll also be having 8 different types of ComicCon-Exclusive Sheldon buttons! They're neat. I'll put pics of those up tomorrow.

    The Ford Five Hundr...I Mean, "Taurus"

    Wednesday, July 18, 2007 - 12:25 AM

    Every once in a while, I love to poke fun at car companies.

    You remember, of course, the long-running Chrysler jokes 'round these parts....

    ...but do you recall this little gem? About Subarus?

    That darn Subaru cartoon generated more hate mail than pratically anything I've ever done. It was hilarious. For most of the week, guys (...they were all guys) kept e-mailing me specs and stats about how rad their Subaru was, and how not-at-all-dorky it looked....desperately trying to reassure me that their car was, in fact, really, really awesome.

    Of course, by posting about it again, I'm sure I just invited 9,000 new e-mails that point out the amazing breaking capabilities on the new Subaru WRX...but it's worth it. I still love that cartoon.

    2 Man (Generic) (Ford manager): But rather than take a long, hard look at the car ITSELF, we've just decided to change the name! ...To the "Ford Taurus"!

    3 Man (Generic) (desperate, Ford manager, holding paper): Our consumer testing says you may have a "vague, positive association" with that name. So now, you'll totally buy one, right? RIGHT??
