Please say yes o.o

The question I want to ask is "When will you design a shirt I will like?"
That question is total BS, and I know it, so let me provide too much information by way of apology.
Aside from the 'LGBTerrific' shirt [which I think is great, but doesn't apply to me, so I can't wear it], I have difficulty with the QC wearable merch. T-shirts are perfect for shot-glass portions of humor or media reference, but QC isn't really good at those kinds of humor. QC is long-form storytelling disguised as bite-size humor. I want to buy a shirt to support the guy who is trying to feed [and occasionally binge drink] his family, but I won't buy a product I don't want of its own merit. I am looking forward to the book, so any replies of "STFU and wait for the book, jackass," would be mean, but appropriate.
Here are a few vague ideas that Jeph could respond to:
-A Coffee of Doom cafe shirt. Many local roasterias in Seattle have their own shirts, and I could see wearing one for CoD.
-A fandom design of Victoria's DVDs, Jimbo's low art chatracters, a CD cover for one of Sven's singles, or Marigold's MMO character. Think Twi-tard clothes from Hot topic, but referencing characters that are in themselves references to QC.
-Parody image of the QC cast in a setting/pose reminiscent of a video/tour poster for one of the many indie bands referenced in the comic.
Anyways, I do love the comic, and the storytelling format keeps me reading every day as opposed to sporadic big batch readings of the other strips I like. I just wish there were more/better merch for me to purchase in encouragement of Jeph and his work.
Either way, I'll buy another sketch form you at ECC next year.

When writing the dialogue of a rhyming demon in Swamp Thing, he bent his knees to pretend he was shorter than he is in reality, stuck a couple of pencils in his mouth to simulate the kind of speech impediment fangs would give you, and talked to himself in front of a mirror.
Alan Moore looks like this.

In strips like today's where a character has sustained an injury to the schnoz, you have them speaking accordingly, like someone with a nose injury would. When writing this dialogue, do you plug your nose and mumble the lines to yourself?

no, I just remember what talking with a stuffy nose feels like and exaggerate that

While I am sorry that none of the current designs appeal to you, I am also 100% positive that your suggestions, while warmly accepted, would be incredibly unpopular and not worth the cost of producing.

HEY WHOA NEW MERCH IDEA!
I know this should ordinarily go in the QC Merch section but this is a question too so...Will you make a shirt for Christmas merch that is a version of the Last Supper painting with either you or Pintsize in the Jesus position? (You would be better rather than Pintsize...)
