i just looked at the page 'o shirts, and it really makes me wonder what the fascination with h.p. lovecraft is all about. there's a sort of 'local pride' thing about lovecraft here in providence, but i don't quite get the wider (apparently t-shirt worthy) appeal.
he was also a brilliant writer that created some of the strangest and best sf, horror, and fantasy of the 20th century. and i snippily add that 'cult' implies marginalisation, when he's been the critics' darling for decades and his work is some of the most widely translated american literature, and it's seen an impressive amount of mainstream printings in the past few decades. hmph!
Hammer/Sickle Superman is from the Superman: Red Son comic book, in which Supes does not land in Ma & Pa Kent's back yard, but rather in Ma & Pa Kentovich's glorious farming collective.
I like "Bat country" and "SuperCom" the best, if only for the comic geekery and they're two shirts you actually can wear to work, seeing as no one will actually get the subversive nature of the picture, unless they're rude and stare at your tits.
I figure that I could get away with the Tesla one and the SLA one as well (though I suppose that most teachers are Boomers, so maybe they would recognize the SLA symbol. But they'd at least know it was ironic.).
OMG!!!! as an american, i friggin love the first one!!! hahaha... ive seen a similar slogan that says something like, "be nice to us or we'll bring democracy to your country" cafe press is amazing!!!
sorry...we can no longer speak to each other. Anyone who would make me choose between a super-commie t-shirt and a Tesla t-shirt is obviously only bent on making me cry.
"In your mind, your sisters they sit by the window, you know your mama doesn't sit and cry and your daddy, well you know what your daddy said, Patty, you know what your daddy said, Patty, he said, he said, he said, "Well, sixty days ago she was such a lovely child, now here she is with a gun in her hand.""
I voted for the SLA shirt, not because I like the SLA--but because I'm currently reading The Many-Headed Hydra: Sailors, Slaves, Commoners, and the Hidden History of the Revolutionary Atlantic.
I'm leaning towards the SLA one because the only would-be terrorist group that's funnier than the SLA is the FLQ. I almost bought an FLQ shirt once, but they were really ugly.

1)Free the shit outta you
2)SLA
3)Hammer/Sickle/Superman
1 and 3 are the narrowest I can get, if you had to force my hand.

So, how is the book? I'm curious... I loved the Invisibles, and alternate history stuff like this piques my curiosity.

Trying to use my imagination though, I'll go with the SLA, because the weird snakey logo is a sure conversation starter, and capped sleeves.
