I’ve been so antsy to show you guys my newest stuff! Thanks to Cyberoptix TieLab and Sock It To Me, I’ve got some really rad new autumn stuff. These brand new pixel ties and pixel socks should be shipping within two weeks.

You all know how much I love making socks, but I’m still not over how amazing these ties look in person. Hope you like ‘em! More photos to come.

Just a little preview of some pixel tie prototypes I hope to launch next week. These are all hand-printed by a genius and made of the micro-est of microfiber. More details and hopefully some sock news next week!

Just FYI- We’re going with the medium blue / pink buckets and red / gold robot ties. They look amazingly classy in person.

I can’t believe it took ten years of Halloween comics to do Ghostbusters. I am not a very nostalgic person anymore, not for the 1980s at least. But GHOSTBUSTERS!

Between the dryness of the humor, the mucus and the paranormal investigating, nothing except Chris Elliott and that one poltergeist that I defeated when I was nine had such an impact on my young life. (they’re invisible, but you can still stab them by smell)

And for those not on Twitter: “Ghostbusters was an incredibly optimistic movie. Not only is there life after death- you can BLAST IT WITH NUCLEAR WEAPONS.”

Fabulous pixel sock-related news has hit my inbox. Batten down your hatches!

Oh sweet, dead mother of Batman. It is almost November and Christmas is going to be beating me with an pointy stick very soon. I like to do free shipping / shirt pack sales for you guys a couple times a year, so it looks like this weekend is the only one I can do it.

There are a few new items too: Maroon Bacon shirts, Bacon hoodies and Cherry Pi hoodies are all in stock today! Shipping in the U.S.A. and Canada is free on any order over $40 – feel free to make your own combos!

psssst! Now that it is just you and me here…

I have a few really, really cool new gift items coming in the next few weeks. New socks, shirts from some of my friends, a run of custom portraits … and something you could wear to scare people at weddings.

Of course, the moment I got everything in stock I had to go mess with it.

PS: I pretty much declared email bankruptcy and gave up on my non-customer inbox today. If you want to drop me a line for any reason, odds are way better I will be able to answer now. Apologies to all the lost messages.

All “Trilogies” pre-order shirts have shipped, so I listed the few extras I had left over in case of defects. I’ve got at least one of most sizes as of this posting if you wanted to grab one and missed out. This is it on this design, though a tremor in the Force informs me a re-issue of another droid-related shirt very soon.

I think I found a few Pixel Pumpkin shirts in my Cryo-Vault. If I get a minute this week, I’ll list those as well! (Yes, I have a Cryo-Vault. I use it to store heads.)

Here we are brainstorming possible DS in-comic Halloween costume ideas. I make no guarantees and want no jokes, but your ideas for what my characters could dress up as are welcome.

The #1 on my list right now is some form of Robocop. #2 in kid slang means poop, but my second thought was Green Lanterns.

If you need any of my shirts/socks/plush sidekicks for your Halloween costume or stealth work costume, please order by 10/26 in the USA and 10/19 elsewhere!

Oh MAN. On last night’s Letterman show, Tina Fey told the universe that her daughter wants to be either a Barbie or a bacon-eating robot for Halloween.

In honor of that and the premiere of 30 Rock tonight, I’m gonna do $14 Bacon is a Vegetable and BACONBOT shirts with free stickers all weekend. It’s like all my favorite things got smooshed together on an ice cream sundae and I suddenly wasn’t lactose intolerant.

If Tina or anyone else from 30 Rock stumbles upon this article, anything you want is on the house for being my favorite living famous person except maybe Stan Lee. If you wish to give me a spaz attack, I’m rstevens at mac.com.

Tonight’s “vampire as unattainable sexy gay guy” theory comic comes courtesy of this Esquire piece. Not sure I agree, but it’s a very curious take.

If you’d like to check out or link yesterday’s infinite galactic canvas comic in its proper context, here’s a permanent version.

Whoops- I miscounted the dates and have to end my Halloween t-shirts early in order to make sure we can get reprints in the mail on time. The plug gets pulled on the Ghost of Trilogies Past this Friday, 10/9.

I’m also taking this opportunity to retire the venerable Wink Hauntlie the Glowing Ghost shirt. Please grab one while you can if you wanted one! Some sizes are already kaput.
