It’s August, and that means many things. Back to school season has begun, summer is heating up and winding down simultaneously, the frantic end-of-summer romances are burning and fizzling, and Waldorf Van Buren looks forward to the Fall Television Season.

I’m terribly bitter about television shows being axed and ground off the air by merciless executives with no compassion or TASTE. Every year I shed a tear when Fox allows chum like American Idol to grease the screens but nixes quality shows like Firefly. (Yes, I’m still horribly bitter about the Firefly cancellation). So, I’m not going to get involved too much with anything this season; not going to get hooked by anything that the networks might tempt me with. Instead, I will simply discard everything before I’ve even watched a single episode.

Today, I will deal with the Monday prime time lineup.

After urging from family and friends, I’ve decided to put this comic on a t-shirt. In the interest of friendliness, I haven’t added any markup to the Cafepress.com base price, so you’re getting them for as cheap as possible. This means that I don’t make any money on them, but I’m not losing any sleep over that.

If you want a very small amount of Internet fame, buy a shirt, take a picture of yourself in it, and email a copy to oskar [at symbol] suburbanpanic [dot] com. I’ll post any pictures that I get. Unless they aren’t tasteful. In that case, I’ll post them twice.

EDIT: I’m going to tack a dollar onto the Cafepress.com price for these shirts, and donate the dollars to the fund to help skeptic Robert Lancaster and his familly. Mr. Lancaster recently suffered a stroke, and mounting medical bills will only make his recovery tougher. So buy a shirt, and help out a true skeptical hero. If you’d prefer to donate directly, you can do that at SkepticsUnite.com.

EDIT AGAIN: After a couple of requests, I’ve created a dark version of the shirt graphic, and made it available on a selection of white and light-colored shirts. If you’re not the black t-shirt type, it’s your lucky day.
