Locus Solus Industries continues apace. Here is our second t-shirt:
Also suitable for many occasions, perhaps even more than the last one.
But: alas. Say the good people at Cafepress:

this is very funny!
too bad, i wanted #2. capitalism works fast.
why all the fraktur gothic font though?
The Fraktur is mostly because that particular font, Newcastle, seemed like it would degrade well if poorly printed, as I suspect these things are. You can’t really see it on the thumbnails, and I haven’t actually seen any of the shirts, so I don’t know if that’s actually true. But it does have a lot of lovely little curly-cues on it that you don’t usually see on a blackletter font. It’s nicely confused.
