I see women like that quite often on my college campus.

The funny in this one must be hiding.

Also, 1.21.03's strip is pretty much the worst possible one to even suggest putting on a t-shirt.  Is that the joke?

I dunno, if you had the proper psychotic hatred of Jared, it could work.

Most disturbing element for me: Ray's bulge in those stirrup #####. Shudderiffic!

Actually given recent history I was going to comment on how relatively subdued Ray's bulge is, I mean they are leggings, he could have gone all out there.
Musical note in signature is nice.
The main thing I got from this is that actually achewood strips on shirts really wouldn't work if you couldn't get in all the punctuation properly what with pacing of dialogue being such an important part of many of the characters.

I think the T-shirt bit was just a snarky shot at those of us who bitch when Onstad (too bad there's no Treble Clef key on this keyboard) puts out a complete mind-boggling shirt choice.

Beyond that I think the WHaaaat on mullet man is vaguely funny, and so is "Dog is my co-pilot"; but only because I have a tendancy to insert Dog where the opposite is generally used.

I am not a sysadmin with aviators however.

Is anyone really creeped out by Ray's bulge? I've never understood people being disgusted by things like that. Things like Ray's bulge. I would like to say that I love Ray's bulge.

I like how the strip is basically an ad for the real merch.  I was like, "oh yeah, I did mean to order my huuuug! hoodie," but then I was like "hey, wait a minute..."

This strip blew my mind. When you do the survey and mark 5 for a panel, presumably you are supposed to read OnStad's response over and over. Amazing!

 Mudokon - do not give your heart to Ray's bonch.

Ray is proud of his junk and likes to show it off. He would like everybody to say something nice about it.

It struck me more as a general shout-out to the time-honored webcomic fan custom of asking that basically every single strip of a comic that ever comes out be put on a t-shirt at one time or another.

I just wonder, how many e-mails Onstad has received asking for a certain strip to be put on a T-shirt, and how many of those were for some seemingly random strip. Like someone repeatedly demanding that just this filler panel be put on cloth.
