The Wailing List - Despair Illustrated
There are times when words fail even the most brilliant of satirists (a.k.a. us). Times when an image itself can speak the most desperate of truths far more poignantly than any poetic turn of phrase. With the introduction of our beautifully rendered Despair Illustrated™ line, we transcend language itself to achieve something both sublime and devastating. Consider the first entry into the line-up, titled simply, “Obsolete”. In it, we see a family dog- defeated. He has been rendered all but irrelevant to the family that once loved him with the arrival of a far more exciting (yet utterly artificial) replacement. It is a moment both tragic and absurd- and one applicable to us all.
For who among us has not felt that very fear as we ponder the myriad ways in which we might face obsolescence? Whether of the old by the young, of the human by the machine, or even the loyal spouse by the specter of a newer, richer, better model? (Or super-model? Rowr!)
Whether driven to bitter laughter or acrid tears, we are forced to admit that there is only one truly rational response before us when confronted with this most uncomfortable of contemplations… We must buy this shirt. We must wear it. We must share it. Nothing else makes any sense whatsoever.
Nothing.
(Yes, it DOES cost a bit more our average tee… All these different colors and awesome illustrators don’t pay for themselves…) But not for YOU,the privileged subscriber of our Wailing List! In yet another shocking display of unmerited generosity, Despair is offering this beautiful new design for a $5 discount for a very limited time!
You need only use the coupon code “obsolescence” when placing your order- so do it now! (Offer valid until Wednesday, June 13th).
Fin!
