I almost didn't buy this shirt. What a mistake that would have been.

When I order from Threadless I always want to order waaay more than I can afford, so I have to make cuts when I check out. I'd initially chosen this shirt because it reminded me of my Uncle's old sci-fi and horror comics from the seventies I'd read while visiting my grandparents, but I wasn't sure that would translate over into a wearable shirt. Well, it is. It's just gorgeous in person, with its enormous graphic. I find myself wearing it at least once a week.

And, after wearing this shirt for six months and having countless people ask me what it was from or what the story is, only now do I check out the original submission page to see if there is a story. And I find out that had I been less of an idiot and actually looked at the bloody shirt I would have realized that the yellow spaceman is Pac Man himself! I'm so blind, and this shirt is now four times as cool.

I feel dumb. But at least I have something to say when people ask me what the shirt means. :)

P.S. Dear Threadless, please hoodify this shirt for me so I can wear it in the cold Canadian winter without having to cover it up with a jacket. And then reprint it so I can buy two more to wear when my original wears out. Love, Chillie.
