A person, and two cats, one of them in glasses, standing before a large floating head.

The person says, "Oh, great and powerful disembodied holographic Dracula head, we seek a first-round angel investor."

The floating head says, "Presenteth to me thine pitch deck."

Text that reads "Pickles and Ding-Dong found a pair of glasses in the trash, and now they designed an app for the president that maybe accidentally launched a bunch of nuclear missles."

Plus a drawing of 2 cats, one making a "thumbs up" sign, and the other, in glasses holding an upside down book titled "How Not To Destroy Civilization."

Attention: the new 5-hour(!) documentary about Billy Joel is awesome.

Here's a new t-shirt design honoring his long-time drummer: Mr. Liberty Devitto. From Seaford! He used to wear his wrist watch on his ankle! This is the font from The Stranger!
