Have a look at the tee-shirt posted here. Genuine Marvel Comics product, my friend, purchased at the Vernon, BC WalMart and promoting noted (thankfully fictitious) vigilante The Punisher.

See anything familiar about the guy in the second row, second from the left?

Three theories:

  1. Stan Lee has decided to go the extraparliamentary route. We here at ODTAA can’t approve. Peaceful change, Stan.
  2. Sam Walton couldn’t convince Campbell to lower the already-disgraceful $6-an-hour “training” wage, and has decided to mount a coup.
  3. Marvel’s designer was pushing deadline, and cut a few corners. Did a quick Google image search for mugshots, slapped them into a comp and called it a day.

One more theory: the designer actually knew exactly what that picture was, and was just having a little fun. If so, there’s almost certainly an opening coming up in that design shop’s stable.

Of course, there’s always the possibility that there really is a Punisher, and that Campbell has managed to show up on his radar. Which surprises me. After the cuts to legal aid, I thought for sure it would be Daredevil showing up on Gordon’s doorstep loaded for bear.
