With this rare Friday post, we’re already a quarter of the way through the “Harvey” sequence, and, if I may say so, the best is yet to come. I’ve been playing around with some tee shirt designs that I hope will be out “just in time for Christmas.” I’ve been saying I was going to do that for 25 years. Maybe finally. I’ve been wracking my brain about what you’d like. Then it occurred to me: I’ll just ask. That is the way we do things around here. Any suggestions? (Sorry, no guarantees!) There’ll be a lot more said about this in the near future.
Hardly Harvey, cont.

Looks like the car logo is pretty universally liked. BUT, what would it SAY above, below or around that logo?
Oh yes, 2XL and 3XL please……. 🙂
And XS, too 😛
It’s at the top of your page’s masthead…. that is such a perfect design capturing the essence of the whole strip.
I’d like to see a sort of “ages of man” sequence showing Gene growing up from a boy to being a dad.
For a tee, I favor the basic headshots of Arlo & Janis. I like the car logo, but it’s too much car and not enough of a close-up of A&J.
Heh, got an eAd from Levis, “Which one is your favorite?” It doesn’t list size 28 men’s 501s, so 😛
Yes, the car logo! And please don’t forget your large fans. I wear a XXXL Tall!

Camera angle at Old Faithful is different, seems to be focused on a….critter? Bison perhaps? Or maybe something just that general shape, haven’t seen it move yet! 🙂
Maybe it was just a rock. what do I know? 🙂

It’s 34F here, light snow this am, didn’t stay on the ground.
The juncos and white-throated sparrows are back. That’s joyful news in spring, but ominous news now. But, mosquitoes are gone. They weren’t bad this summer, even though it was a fairly wet one. Had several days when highs reached 90s. Had 2-3 days of ‘Indian summer’* in late Sept., highs in low 80s, ate both lunch and supper on the patio. Lawn chairs still out there; regs. say they have to stashed by 1 Nov. Peace, emb

Tees:
‘Not just XL, but all the XXXXXes’ and other similar comments. I take an M, and don’t like tees to just hang on me. I’ll probably go for any design you come up with, size M.
Peace, emb
Sorry for the 3x post. Kept getting 404 error messages so kept trying to submit the comment.
T-shirt design: I favor “I’ve seen the sunset a thousand times, too.” full cartoon, of course. A second book would be more welcome, though.
Got caught up reading back comics. With the sailing subject in OK going on… http://www.gocomics.com/arloandjanis/1994/09/19
I think the car and cartoon blog banner would make an awesome tee shirt, though perhaps with, as Bookworm suggested, a change in pose to feature the characters more prominently. I’d also suggest that Jimmy’s name below the cartoon name be replaced with “Peeking in Windows Since 1985″…an insider remark for those who are in the know, and perhaps a conversation starter with those who aren’t.
Full strips might perhaps work better on the-soon-to-be-announced coffee mugs. 🙂
Tried to post a link for Ghost, but kept getting moderated 🙁
Arlo grilling, Janis gardening, either or both reading, both walking together…those are ways we often see them. Oooo, what about the strip in which Arlo was reading tee shirts?
Late to arrive on the subject today, I see my lady has it well in hand. I concur on the design, it should have Jimmy’s signature below. Or, hand signed copies for an uptick in pricing. Should the car logo win out I will talk Loon into a special photo session that should please GR6.

Loon two weekends ago in Vail at the Colorado Grand. 🙂
re: Tees (T’S ?)
Almost every suggestion above this post of mine is spot-on. I would / will buy some of any or all.
If there is a sailing one, I will buy some for prizes for next year’s events and I guarantee Jimmy will get new fans if they aren’t already!
Car logo is really at the top of the list, signed of course. Distant second just a peek. Yup XXX’s for loose comfort. I’d justify the cost somehow on my fixed income.
