LKH Lashouts

We've all been laughing/shuddering at some of the art in the comic version of Guilty Pleasures.  Like the thunder thighs and the throw-proportions-to-the-wind attitude.  Now we have something far more disturbing to laugh at:  They're selling merchandise with the comic book art imprinted on it.  I had to look, and I swear, anyone in this community could make better items for sale using one hand and a pack of sharpies.  The most offensive offering, in my humble opinion, were these *extremely sexy* men's boxer shorts with Comic!Jean-Claude emblazoned on the thigh.  

So many questions spring to mind: Who would wear these? Who would make these?  Was it deliberate?  Why are the boxers the cheap white kind that are given away at theme parties, usually bearing the legend "i danced my pants off at _______'s sweet 16"?  

But anyway, i thought i'd share the lolz, because nothing says funny like Anita Blake postage pals.  Not an actual stamp, mind.  But a sticker of some sort with a space for the stamp.  Sorry, LKH.  Elvis can be a stamp.  Not Anita.  


EDIT:  One of the things that has always bothered me is that on almost every piece of merchandise, there is a huge font that reads"Laurell K Hamilton Anita Blake Series" or some incarnation of the statement.  In my humble opinion, merchandise that is successful is subtle, without much fanfare and credit, that allows fans to squee when they see it, and non-fans to wonder what the deal is.  Case in point: I have a black tshirt with a huge yellow pepper on the front with a big bite taken out of it.  That's it.  People will stop me in the street to ask where i got it, what it's about, etc.  Fans of Iron Chef, who get the reference, literally go berserk and ask where they can get one.  That is successful merchandise, it doesn't need a huge font at the bottom proclaiming Iron Chef, and whoever the hell created it.
