From an April ’88 Comic Images retailer solicitation sheet comes this, one of the greatest Punisher merchandise taglines ever:
Tagline presumably would also work with a Bi-Beast hat.
“We heard you like skulls, so we put a skull on your skull.”
Tagline presumably would also work with a Bi-Beast hat.
A few (dumb) thoughts:
1) The skull is shaped like a heart.
“I ‘heart’ Death” seems to be the message.
2) The elongated shape of the “skull” and “teeth” now seem to say:
“I ‘heart’ dead rabbits”
3) The tiny, realistic-looking pistol Punisher is brandishing seems almost quaint now compared to the “Rob Leifeldian” lead-death-emitters that comic heroes now heft around.
4) Imagine is Punisher really WAS trying to build up a brand for himself?
The clientele would consist of the entirety of the G.O.P., Tea-Baggers and the Sarah Palin fiefdom of Alaska.
5) Hate-bloggers will now descend, em-masse.
Happy Sunday, everyone!
~P~
Is that cranium so oddly shaped because it isn’t actually human — is it really a skrull skull?

argh…
“en-masse”
damn typos (it’s cold in here and fingers are uncooperative).

Coming soon: Man-Thing brand condoms.
Why is the hate talk of Sanctum allowed? Is it becuase he hated the right people? Imagine this talk against anyone else. Go ahead… delete this now, so you can be partners in the hate talk.
“Imagine this talk against anyone else.”
Man, I don’t need to. I’m the guy who does Estate 4.1, after all.
Bi-beast cap would be a skull-on-a-skull on your skull.
