Alvin says: "Here's some Eightball T-shirts from over the years, a Garth Gyro baseball cap, a collaborative drawing by Daniel Clowes and Chris Ware for a Comic-Con T-shirt, glimpses from an odd Hong Kong apparel campaign, and Brendan Fraser in Monkeybone, Kathy Griffin on Loveline, and Simon Pegg in Paul, all sporting Eightball tees."

Damn you and your US only region locking!

I’m just jealous that I can’t win, carry on, as you were.

PS – The Supersuckers album ‘The smoke of hell’ is a Clowes favourite of mine.
