The way things are going I can&#8217;t predict where they&#8217;re likely to show up next. It&#8217;s a problem.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">In order to solve that problem, at least on the T-shirt front, there&#8217;s a sale this week on my shirts: you can save $5 on an order of $25, $10 on an order of $50, or even a big brain-boggling $20 on an order of $100. That sale runs through November 20: note the informative banners at the sites where the sales are running.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">That&#8217;s the T-shirt sections at <a href=\"http:\/\/shop.webomator.com\/retropolis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Retropolis<\/em><\/a>, as well as the Celtic design shirts at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.printfection.com\/sagashirts\/Shirts-Page-1\/_s_49162\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Saga Shirts<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">So where did these invaders with the immense brainpans come from, anyway? They&#8217;re based on a minor (but important) character from my Thrilling Tale in progress, <em>The Lair of the Clockwork Book<\/em>. Once I saw how the little guy turned out I couldn&#8217;t help but put him on shirts and whatnot aimed at the Big Brained among us. Because there&#8217;s just not enough rampant holiday merchandising that&#8217;s aimed at people whose brains are bigger than Venus, is there?<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Hey, I find a niche, and I decorate the crap out of it. It&#8217;s my mission. Or at least that&#8217;s what my mind believes is happening&#8230; ever since the Big Brain trained his glowing, thought-controlling eyeballs on me. Also, I make him sandwiches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Big Brains have moved into Retropolis this week: their teeming minions first invaded my T-shirts, but before I knew it they&#8217;d moved out from that beachhead into my coffee mugs and mousepads.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-994","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-works-in-progress"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.webomator.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/994","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.webomator.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.webomator.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.webomator.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.webomator.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=994"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.webomator.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/994\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.webomator.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=994"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.webomator.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=994"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.webomator.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=994"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
