UYD T-shirts - does this ever happen to you?

Post by Maka »

hello uyd,

I was wearing my uy dojo t-shirt in church today (hawaii is casual). One of the members came up and asked me what dojo was uy. I told him that it was a comic book fan club.

This is the third time this happened to me while I was wearing the shirt. Does this ever happen to you? Peace, maka

Not yet, but I've had people recognise Usagi on the back when I've been wearing the shirt :)

Dear Readers,
Yesterday i went to a birthday party for a 3 year old friend who wanted comic book heroes as the party theme.
I wore a UY tshirt while most wore Batman, Spiderman and Wonder Woman shirts and costumes.
(btw my wife's name is Diane Prince aka Wonder Woman)
Everyone wanted to learn about Usagi!
Best wishes to all!
go.

We were at Yellowstone National Park, breakfasting at a park restaurant. The waiter saw my shirt, and said, "I know him." He was surprised to learn I was the creator. Before leaving he asked for a sketch. I went out to the car where I knew I had a copy of Book 1, and left that along with the tip.

On the same trip Sharon and I were waiting for a very early spouting of Old Faithful, and started talking to the only other person braving the early hour and cold to see the geyser at sunrise. He was a lawyer who was vacationing with his family, and we introduced ourselves and what we did. It turned out his son was a comic book fan, who bought an issue of Groo just the day before. They found us at breakfast a couple hours later, and I signed his copy of Groo.
