Summertime... and the Grilling is Easy with a Munden's Bar Apron
Munden's merch - we have it, you want it.
Here at ComicMix, we're traditionalists that believe summer actually starts on Memorial Day weekend, no matter what movies premiere in early May. So, with the official start of grilling season, may we humbly recommend that you do so with a Munden's Bar grilling apron?
Straight from the pages of Munden's Bar, with our multiverse-famous slogan "If you leave here sober, it's your own damn fault", this apron will protect you from grease, slime, beer, and other hazards of the barbecue. And at the low, low price of $17.99, how can you go wrong? Okay, you could go wrong by taking a chainsaw to school and saying the leprechauns are telling you to carve up the auditorium stage, but that's a unique way to get out of final exams, at least.
Remember: the more Munden's merchandise you buy, the more Munden's stories we put out! So buy those beer steins and coasters too!
[/End of soft sell.]

I'm torn among all the choices!

Then buy them all, man. It's only money. It's not like it can be used for anything important. Except for buying ComicMix trade edi-- oops, can't talk about those yet.

Oh, you tease...

I should remember this, but I don't--Who designed the Munden's logo? Was that Tim or Bruzenak? Anyway, I'll have to stock up on Munden's merchadise.

Good question. It looks like Brother Timothy, but I'll ask.

Brother Timothy responds:
"I don't think so. It might have been based on a version I did in a story, then massively cleaned up by whomever was doing your logos at the time. Famous guy -- why do I forget his name? A mind is a terrible thing to waste. Ken Bruzenak! That's it!"
For those who aren't in the know, Ken Bruzenak was the innovative and gifted letter of Howard Chaykin's American Flagg!.

I don't know who did the original logo way back when (I might suspect Rick Veitch, who did the first Munden's story) but the current version that's being used on the merchandise and current stories, cover for the trade paperback from IDW, etc. was done by yours truly.
The general Munden's logo was pretty much unchanged for most of the run, and it looks like it was just cut and pasted over and over again.
