I'm looking forward to the Paarfi shirts, myself. :D

The only LOL shirt I'm currently working on is "I CAN HAS TEKLABURGER?" 
with Loiosh (or a reasonable facsimile) perched on the back of a chair 
at Valabar's. I'm rendering as close to a photo-realistic image as I can 
in Daz Studio. I may have to do some post-process editing to deal with 
removing the forearms from the model I'm using, but other than that I've 
got a model (and an expression) that I'm pretty happy with. (I should 
set up a sample image and comment area, though.)

If you're thinking of another LOLhouse shirt, or more than one, let me 
know which ones you favor. Illustration ideas would help as well-- i.e., 
poses, setting, expression. As I wrote before, I don't have a lot of 
experience with this humor form, but it seems to me that the idea of a 
tecklaburger at Valabar's captures the ridiculous incongruity that seems 
to be an essence of the form. ;)

Also, did anyone have a reaction to "chibi-House", i.e. anime-style 
illustrations of House representative characters as humanoids 
(elvenoids, whatever), but with visible trait markers, e.g. cat ears, 
tail, wings? Too cutesy? Too incongruous? Or is it just too hard to 
picture without an example?
