Wes, I think you missed the idea just a little with the tee shirt. How about a cartoon Chrystal, Myleigh and Randy on surfboards? A fat little guy in a hunting shirt has limited appeal, unless that becomes essential to that story. Chrystal, Myleigh and Randy we know and love already! And if someone with a bit of talent caught fire, there are a batch more tee shirts just begging to be turned loose! Rocinante comes to mind (your already have the cover art), Tiffany and the dog sled? That poor snake? You just need something to tie them into the story a little, maybe. "The World of Spearfish Lake"? That and the www.SpearfishLake.com might fetch another reader or three.
Unfortunately I'm at the point where I can't sigh my name twice the same way, and am having trouble reading my own shopping list. But if there is a reader that likes doing charactures and cartoons, you could have some fun!
