My inner child

Ok, a quick update on the t-shirts here first. I have the designs for the first three done and ready to go. They're going to be, the I'm the brightest Crayon, The Sound of Your Impending Doom, and the Feed your face to my kitty shirts. All that I need to do so that you guys can get them is to finish up the code for the site to add the store in. I'm going to get that up as soon as possible and adjust the look of the store to fit the rest of the site later since I just want to get it up and running before I mess with cosmetic stuff. As time goes on I'll be adding another couple designs, so if you don't see what you want right away it should show up soon enough. So all that being said, it'll probably just be another week or so until that's up and live.

On the comic: As part of "the sesame street generation", I've come to realize all the effects of that programming on my mind as an adult. As I recall, it's been proven that kids who watched the show Sesame Street, tend to have shorter attention spans than those who did not as a result of the short segments within the show ( Source: Some research report I was supposed to look up before writing this. ). As a young kid I watched that show a lot, and as an adult I plan on getting it on tape to show to my kids when I get older ( Assuming that I ever focus long enough to have kids in the first place. ). I don't plan on showing this to them in order to damage them or make sure they're not better than me. In fact, I'd say it's the exact opposite. I figure, if I happen to be at the ADD and non-productivity level where I'm at, from watching it for a half hour every morning, imagine how good they could be at comedy if they watched it 24/7! It has been conclusively proven, that the more useless a person is for doing real productive work, the better they are at comedy ( Source: Sesame Street. ). And so, since I'm pretty useless already, I'm willing to bet that my kids could be truly and totally useless, thus making them absolutely hilarious. So I'm going to set up a system by which for the first 10 years of their life, they will have a TV permanently attached to them via a special harness with looping episodes of Sesame Street, Barney and The Muppets playing non-stop, including when they are asleep. I'm willing to bet that by age 6 they'll make their old man look like nothing more than a heckler, and that by the time the 10 year program is over, they'll make Adam Sandler look like Carrot Top on his worst day.
