Day 287



Snafu Comic, it seems, are the Masters of Mashup. The last time I wore one of their designs was back on Day 276 when Shark Robot donated their second tee to my THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE T-shirt challenge.
Today, the quirky gaming enthusiasts have sent one more, this time a Pokemon meets Mass Effect situation.

Charmander is one of the original Pokemon lineup and is basically a dragon who's tail is on fire. As expected, his primary attack moves all utilise throwing flame at his enemies, but as this garment shows, the reptilian creature harbours a hidden talent reserved for dispatching Reapers - he can joyfully wield and operate an M-8 Avenger Rifle.
Normally in the hands of Commander Shepard and Co, the standard issue weapon which fires in semi or fully automatic modes is drawn here in very high detail, which set against the firestorm orange, makes for an impressively menacing design.

You only need a quick glance at the Shark Robot online store to see that this tee is a happy resident among hundreds of other offbeat alternative culture examples designed for the lost boys of the digital age. Like me.
