I am unreasonably amused by this acquisition, found (with pre-customized neckline) yesterday at the reliably fabulous Rerun:
Here’s a better look at the design:
Does anybody recognize the artist? I really want there to be a lot of stories about these characters, because dachshund-riding badger, both with fetching headgear? Plus the smoking, to noir it up some? I don’t know if they fight crime or commit it, but either way, their adventures need to exist.
ETA: The astute Jenn Manley Lee tracked it down– looks like the design is by Jeremy Fish. Dear Mr. Fish, please provide some badger and dachshund adventures thank you.

August 11, 2011 at 2:17 pmWhat I find amusing is they’re so clearly German; I mean, the badger’s in Bavarian garb to a T, and that dachshund’s wearing a pickelhaube, which is Prussian. It’s…not quite the same as having a razorback wearing the Stars and Bars riding on a …sou’wester-wearing lobster? But it’s close. And highly amusing.
