I was out at my boy's soccer game today wearing my cool Mego t-shirt. If you don't know the shirt I am taking about, Hulk made it and it is a lovely enlargement of the original Mego insignia disc on a white background.
So, one of the dads from the other team, a guy about 40 or so, says to me, "I wanna thank you for wearing that shirt."
Another Museum member, perhaps?
He goes on: "My wife and I saw your shirt and got to talking..."
...And I told her about these beloved action figures from my childhood?
...And we agreed that if that guy can wear a Mego shirt in public, then I can wear my Cipsa hoodie around town?
...And we decided to give you the carded Green Arrow we have in our trunk?
Nope. He says, "...And we are going to Hooters after the soccer game."
"Um, say what?"
"You know, the orange print with the black. Looks sorta like the Hooters logo."
Wasn't quite sure how to respond to that, so I told him I was happy to have helped and turned back to watch the game.
Whenever I wear my Mego shirt, I always sorta wonder if somebody will respond to it... even if it is just to ask what the heck "Mego" is. But I have to admit, that was not a reaction I was expecting!
