GoodBye, USA Today!

Yesterday I bought my last edition of...
...when I discovered the price had doubled from a barely-acceptable $1 to $2!
I had been a faithful reader from the beginning (September 15, 1982), and while it was just fast-food journalism, it was entertaining, and a comforting constant no matter where I traveled.
But the party's over.
Since our office is close to several hotels, I'll just cop a copy off the piles left behind in the lobbies and coffee shops.
They're already paid-for by the hotel, so it's not "piracy".

Design of the Week Redux--"...fill my f@#%ing gas tank!"

Each week, we post a limited-edition design, to be sold for exactly 7 days, then replaced with another, unless it sells really, really well...like this one!  Then we keep it for another week!
Express your outrage at rising gas prices!
If you share my depression / outrage / fear over the economy, voice your opinion visually with a bumper sticker, shirt, tote bag, key chain, mug, or other kool kollectible showing it takes selling the world's most expensive baseball card (Honus Wagner T-206) just to fill your gas tank!
(OK, it's an exaggeration, but the way things are going...)

"...will trade rare baseball card for gas..."


We at Atomic Kommie Comics™ are pop culture fans.
But we're also sports fans.
And, as any well-read sorts do, we keep up with current events.
So when the opportunity presented itself to combine all three aspects in our work...well we just jumped at the chance!
Last weekend, one of the few surviving Honus Wagner T-206 baseball cards was auctioned for over $1,000,000! A newsperson, after reading the story, commented "well. I guess the old owner will be able to fill HIS gas tank now!"
Cue cartoon lightbulb and *PING* sound effect!
Thus was born our newest pop culture collectible... "Afford to fill this mother F@#%ing Gas Tank!" Bumper Stickers, combining sports (baseball), current events (outrageous cost of fuel), and pop culture (trading card collecting) all at one shot on the place where your opinion will be seen by all: the bumper of your car!
Buy one!
Buy ten (You'll save a dollar on each if you do!)!
