			<description><![CDATA[My computer absolutely grinds to a halt every time I try to work with this sub, probably because the file is ginormous.  So I'm taking a break for awhile and figured it wouldn't hurt to put it up here.  Let me know what you think, if you like.<br />
<br />
Sorry for the poor quality of the jpg.<br />
<br />
<u>EDIT, Dec. 12, 2006:</u> I'm somewhat frustrated at this point.  No matter how much I try to compress the file, it's still too large for me to submit.  If any of you have a tip or two for making the file smaller (it's not vector, sigh, I've learned my lesson) I'd be real grateful.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[My average score for subs is exactly 2!  At least until the in-progress one finishes.  I know no  one cares, but I am bored and thought it was interesting.<br />
<br />
<u>SUB | SCORE | VOTES | COMMENTS</u><br />
Blind date compromise | 1.96 | 2020 | 40<br />
One lump or two? | 2.08 | 1844 | 25<br />
Come with me | 1.75 | 1939 | 34<br />
Got change for a fish? | 2.45 | 1990 | 31<br />
Until we are ashes | 2.13 | 2138 | 46<br />
Emo shaming | 1.63 | 2193 | 27 <br />
<br />
1.96 + 2.08 + 1.75 + 2.45 + 2.13 + 1.63 = 12<br />
12/6 = 2<br />
<br />
Woo maths!]]></description>

<br />
Let's be honest here: I had fun drawing it, and think it fits the theme decently, but I can't imagine anyone actually wanting to wear it.  I mean c'mon, it's a toddler wearing his underwear on the outside and holding a stuffed rabbit.  <br />
<br />
Oh well, it seemed like a good idea at the time.  Vote/comment if you feel like it, then go buy a shirt once the sale starts!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Update:  <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.threadless.com/profile/298651/Kojima">Kojima</a> pointed out my design's similarities to Pilihp's <a href="http://www.threadless.com/submission/73582/Snack_Time_At_The_Zoo">Snack Time at the Zoo</a>.  I know they're playing on the same idea, but I hadn't seen Snacktime before and the two designs are pretty different, so I'll still be submitting mine.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.threadless.com/profile/177487/sonjordan">Sonjordan</a> was right that the two oranges are supposed to be the same, and that will be fixed in the final sub.<br />
<br />
That said, would you like to name it?<br />
<br />
<img src="http://www.owlnet.rice.edu/~stephzim/icecream.gif"/><br />

Comments and suggestions for improvement are especially welcome and appreciated!<br />
<br />
Thanks everybody!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[but as a poster.  I mean, I like it on a t-shirt, it's friggin' <b>adorable</b> regardless, but I'd rather have it up on my wall, greeting me every morning.<br />
<br />
Off-topic:<br />
<br />
I know Threadless is a t-shirt company, but if they were ever in the future to expand, I'd be up for buying prints of some of these awesome designs.  Then again, I guess that would require a 300 dpi or vector-only minimum for design submissions, which is a bit much to ask.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I figure that with such a huge population of artists, there must be at least a few other folks here who read webcomics.  What are some of your favorites?  And does anyone here draw a webcomic?<br />
<br />
Some of my likes:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.questionablecontent.net/">Questionable Content</a><br />
TracerBullet's Pintsize avatar is what made me think to post a blog about this in the first place.  Both the art and the humor in this one have become great since it started, and I'm really impressed by it.  I would SO visit Coffee of Doom.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.wapsisquare.com/">Wapsi Square</a><br />
I can't help but love the style he draws in and the fact that me makes a point of featuring different body types and lifestyles. And anything that features the Aztec god of alcohol can't be bad!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://devilspanties.keenspot.com/">The Devil's Panties</a><br />
No, it's not porn!  It's hilarious and, so far as I can tell, a pretty good glimpse into the artist's life.  I really like her style.  She also posts non-cartoon art every week or two, which is nice.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://drmcninja.com/index.html">Dr. McNinja</a><br />
Okay, considering the popularity of ninjas and pirates here to the point that they were excluded from Threadless Loves Threadless, I think it's very worth it to post this link.  The two factions have an awesome battle in one of the storylines.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.html">Sequential Art</a><br />
I can't believe I forgot this one the first time around! Comic #1 is actually my desktop wallpaper.  Normally I'm not into comics featuring anthropomorphic animals, but this is love.<br />
<br />
Now, your turn.  Favorites?<br />
