So, The CafePress store I'm thinking of starting...
And this time, I'm actually doing stuff about it, not just thinking about it. At the moment, I'm working on adapting this image into something suitable for a mug:
Description: a cartoon image of rabbits -- two normal, with nine "monster, hybrid" rabbits and one rabbit-shaped cloud above a quote attributed to John Steinbeck: "Ideas are like rabbits. You get a couple and learn how to handle them, and pretty soon you have a dozen."
I'm doing it in two halves -- and plan making both "right-handed" and "left-handed" versions -- so that the normal rabbits would face outward, and the "Crack!fic" bunnies would be staring down the drinker. So I'm rearranging the image to be split horizontally instead of vertically.
I also found this old photo of my mother as a little girl, and it cracks me up, because that outfit is so antithetical to her personality, it's like a meeting of matter and anti-matter, and you can see it in her face:
Description: Old black and white photo of a little girl in a white dress with embroidered bodice, peter-pan collar and puff sleeves. Her dark hair has been curled and parted in the middle. She is fidgeting with her dress and pouting.
I want to give it the caption: "All dressed up... And I don't wanna go!" ... How wrong would it be to put that on a CafePress design for sale?
BTW, I'm thinking of staying away from t-shirts and focusing on mugs, for the most part. Most people I know have a surfeit of shirts, and there aren't many places, honestly, where it's appropriate to wear decorated shirts in public -- not at the workplace, anyway. But the social rules for coffee mugs seem a little bit more lax, as long as they're not rude or crude. And that's not my style anyway.
... Am I right about that, btw?

Hee! One tee-shirt that my mother actually had, as an adult, read: "Shameless agitator."
Another that she didn't own, but read on someone else, and laughed out loud at was: "The meek shall inherit the Earth... The rest of us shall climb to the stars."
So I think she might chuckle at your caption.
