Put a Lid on It!

This week Leon Beyond discusses the Secret History of Disposable Coffeenalia. The strip is a continuation of my ongoing fascination with the design of plastic coffee cup lids, seen in this appendix to my history comic Redbird (coming soon!?):
I've since figured out that the mysterious code on the Grub 'n Go cup stands for Decaf, Black, Cream, & Sugar.

I made this for my pal Tony.

Bad Robot!

I drew this shirt that is currently on sale at Shirt.Woot!
The design is a riff on Isaac Asimov's 3 Laws of Robotics, and was suggested as part of a T-shirt contest I was involved with in Las Vegas with my pals at shirt.Woot!

I drew & painted & semi-ruined about 40 custom t-shirts over the course of 2 days, most of which you can see here. Each was based on a concept suggested by a convention-goer. Here are a couple of my favorites. "Inter-Species CES" & "Crap in 3010: Still Crap":"USBacon (suggested by Leslie Townley)" & "My Mom Says I'm Special" (I added the 5.25" floppy disk, even though I couldn't quite remember what one looks like):"Just Brains" & "Lonely Apocalypse / Escort Pamphleteer (suggested by Matthew Shultz)":"The Geek Shall Inherit the Earth" & "Sushi Revenge":"State-of-the-Art Catapult / CES 1010" & the winning design "Overcoming Asimov's Laws (suggested by Jonathan Knell)":Thanks to my Woot! for a good time and everybody who submitted ideas! It was fun, and I still have silver fabric paint under my fingernails.

That kind of sketching just soothes the soul!
