I Resign / Top 10 Hot Dog T-Shirts

It is with this post that I publicly announce my official resignation from both Fantastic Bonanza and Fantastic Blognanza. It’s been 2/1.5 years of immense personal growth, and I’m glad I’ve had all of these experiences and met all these great people. I hope I’ve been able to provide you with something, whether news of a cool t-shirt or increased exposure for your business. If you’d still like to keep up with what I’m doing (though I won’t be mentioning t-shirts all that often, I believe), I have a personal website/blog: Joe Wasserman dot com. Come say ‘hi’, if you’re so inclined!

And now, this is my send-off, dedicated by myself to myself: a top ten list of hot dog t-shirts. Because I really like hot dogs.

It’s Quiet… Too Quiet

Hey everyone: there’s been a dearth of posting here recently, and it’s due to some changes that are happening behind the scenes here at Fantastic Bonanza. We hope to have more information for you over the weekend. Until then, I’m sorry to say that things are probably going to stay pretty quiet here on the Blognanza. If you’re starved for t-shirt news, check out some of the blogs on our blogroll! I especially recommend Shirts on Sale, Tcritic, and T-Shirts around the Internet.

This Week in T-Shirts, June 23-29

New Faces
SENCI: Only four shirts so far. This shop claims interest in themes varying from technology and military to evolution.
Karmaloop: This shirt was the result of a contest to see who could make the best Lupe Fiasco-themed design. All proceeds go to charity.
Unplug Designs: Display your discontent for a tech-obsessed world by… buying t-shirts online?
Secret Agenda: Their blog is listed as a $0.02 item on their site, which is a clever little touch that I didn’t quite get at first.
Brand Resistant: An eco-friendly company featuring designs with fiercely liberal messages.
Melanie Kahlke: This one will require a little work on your part. Follow the link and scroll down to see the knife-belt shirt. If you want one, you’ll have to do things the old-fashioned way and e-mail the artist.
Lowman: If you like big text, you might like this shirt.
The T-Shirt Gang: They say they represent “the realest of the real”. That’s, like, at least three times more real than I am.

Familiar Places
Bat and Rat at Donkeyshines: These oft-misunderstood animals finally get some respect in t-shirt form.
The classics are back at Heavy Rotation: Their email to us had a picture of a guy who looks like Jesus wearing a shirt with anthropomorphic mustard on it. Basically, I love these guys.

Sales
Summer sale at Waterloo: Get up to 40% off!

Glennz’s Monky Foundation

Lots of news today, for some reason. Let’s get right to it.

1) There’s a mid-year sale going on at Glennz Tees!

Sale at Glennz Tees

It’s for the next 5 days, and everything is either $14 or $16. And hey—did you know that you can get 12″x18″ poster prints of any of the designs? Somehow that had slipped past my attention, but that’s kinda neat.

2) We’ve only mentioned Tolky Monkys in TWiTS posts till now, but they’ve got some cute characters that I think you should take a look at. The one that caught my eye was Hikiko, the game-crazy mime.

Hikiko Tetris

This kind of reminds me of the evil cultist mimes you run across in Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness.

(Aside: John and I both highly recommend PAA:OTRSPOD; you should definitely play it. It’s available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, so if you’re reading this on a computer (and I have the sneaking suspicion that you are) you can play the game. (Well, unless you’re using BeOS or something, in which case I don’t really knowwhat to say.) And even if you’re not reading this on a computer, you can still play it on your XBox 360 via XBox Live Arcade. If you’re still not convinced, just download the free demo and try it before you buy it. What I’m trying to say here is that you have pretty much no reason whatsoever not to try the game. But I’ll stop harping on this point, since we’re purportedly a t-shirt blog, not a gaming one.)

3) New designs from Imaginary Foundation! You might be a little disappointed to hear that it’s pretty standard IF fare, though: shirts with hand-produced color fade, one-of-a-kind tye-dyed prints, and a dude playing drums on the moon.

Space Is the Place

Come on, Imaginary Foundation: get with the program! Where are all your snarky text-only tees? Where are the ironic pop culture references? Oh well… maybe next time.

Dessert Soaps

Normally soaps don’t make me feel hungry… but the exquisite soaps from Savor certainly do! When I first saw these, I just knew I had to write about them, even though they’re not t-shirts. They would make such fantastic gifts! Picture time:
