Gone Fishin' ...

I'm taking some time off from this.

Check back in April.

The T-shirt CafePress Wouldn't Let Me Sell

Apparently Disney has leaned heavily upon CafePress, a company infamous for the number of unauthorized designs they host (try searching for "Coca-Cola," "McDonalds," "Spiderman," etc. and then search for "Disney" or "Mickey Mouse." Hmm.)

These graphics are quite clearly parodies of the doofy optimism and cartoonish lameness that we all know and love. As parody, it's covered under the "fair use" doctrine of the U.S. Copyright law.

I understand the position CafePress is in. Disney has obviously plastered CafePress with cease and desist orders. "The squeaky wheel gets the grease" as they say.

Hmm. Maybe I'll just have to use Zazzle.

Here it is!

Thank you all so very much for your patience. I'm a lousy blogger, but hopefully this experience will put me firmly on the road to being a master updater. Pun intended.


(Here's the original poster upon which I based the above "parody."

[This is number one of two strips today!]

I'm sorry. I promise to update this with an actual "Up To Bat" strip soon.

In the mean time, maybe this will help make you like me again:

Garfield, without words.



It's so funny ... it's sublime.
