So I just got back from SDCC with the family and with all the Alien related goodies I saw there I decided Alien needed a Wacky treatment.
So without further ado here is "Alien Joy" the candy bar, available as a T-Shirt from my Threadless Store. As a forum special I've slashed the price 10% so fitted Tees are only $22.50 and classic Tees only $18. Please note I find Threadless sizes run small (or maybe I'm just getting bigger) I usually wear a size Large but their XL fits me perfect. Please keep that in mind when ordering.
But wait there's more.
For any forum member who posts an image of themselves wearing the T-Shirt on Twitter or Facebook and includes the link to my Threadless Store, I will send them a free JoeGParotee Alien Joy sketch card! Just message me once you've posted and the card will be on it's way.
Here's the link to the store:

And here's the Wacky goodness:

Patrick you always make me smile! This was actually painted as a Network Spews and that detail is the one thing that Topps demand I remove or they wouldn't use it. I refused and well that's why it a JoeG ParoTee shirt!

Hey Joe, How about printing up some "Alien Joy" cards? I would be Interested in buying one.

Same here! I like the t-shirt but I'm not clear on how many occasions I would get to wear it, and I would certainly pay for a card!

Card please.....
-
Well, I can never resist a forum request. if I can get at least 10 orders I'll make a card for $5 shipped in a top loader in a #10 envelope. Please PM me and when I get 10 orders, I will make it so.
-
joe you know I'm your number one fan Glad you shared Alien Joy it's incredible!!
-
Awesome work!
Ordered a shirt. Hope cards become available soon!
-
Great work! And kudos for standing firm for your artwork. I wish Topps shared your high standards :-\
And, card please :D
-
Scot and Robert, thanks for ordering shirts! I just received a few today and they look killer. I know you will dig them. Also just to be clear the only way to get a sketch card is by posting a pic and link on Twitter or Facebook. The $5 card I offered is just to be a printed card of the gag. Sorry if that wasn't clear. Lastly if the printed cards go I will be including those with the sketch card so if you order a shirt you're on the list for one of those as well.
-
Great design and artwork, and a candy brand parody as well... so of course I love it.
-
Thanks for adding the heather grey choice! My order is in.

getting this on black shirt an option?
-
Sure I'll set that up. Because of our page layout it can be a little hard to see so just look for the black color dot in the color row.
Best,
Joe G.
-
Ordered! Love it!
-
I like the gag!
-
Hope the cards are soon a go! Please let us know asap!
Wish I had known about the black shirt, though. Next time I'll keep an eye open for the "black" button!
(And sorry, I'd like to oblige you with the "Facebook/Twitter" thing, but I gave that up several years ago. If I think of a way to promote your shirt another way, though, I'll definitely do so!)

Black shirt option looks awesome, really higlights the colors, ordering one today.

I went with the heather gray, as I already have several dark colored Wacky tees.

Good News, we've reached the magic number in terms of people interested so I'll be printing a JoeGParotee trading card of "Alien Joy".
If you would like one please paypal (friends and family if possible) $5 to vfx2g@me.com and please include your mailing address in the comments section.
If you bought a T-shirt, no need to purchase one, I've got you covered.
Card should be going out early next week.

Good news! Thank you! Love both Wackys and the alien franchise - great pairing - and anxiously looking forward to both card and shirt! (Perhaps in the future you could rig up a string or cable, so when you pull it, a spring-loaded alien pops out of the shirt while one is casually shopping for groceries in the market.)
-
Thanks Joe. Card payment sent. ;) ;) ;) ;)

Talented AND generous.
-
Thanks again Joe - paypal friends and family sent!
Or maybe since we're talking Wackies, that should be paypal fiends and family... ;)

The art for the cards went to the printer today. The printers turn around is 1-2 weeks so cards will be sent out no later than the week of the 21st!
Also for those on Facebook, Ernie just sent me his great selfie wearing his Tee. Check out Ernie's page to get a peak of Ernie and Alien Joy!
Also, to all getting Tees, please remember they're cold wash only. Not sure what would happen if washed in hot water but as the Alien is involved, I wouldn't chance it.

Scot, great pic and nice facehugger action with your hand!
-
Great news! The printer was able to expedite the order so cards are shipping today! They're coming from the West Coast so not sure how long USPS will take but some, if not all, should be delivered this week. Cards look great and I'm so glad the forum convinced me to have them printed up. So thank you and I can't wait to see what you think!
-
I got my "Alien Joy" card today and it looks outstanding!! Great work Joe!! Thanks for printing them up.
-
Mike, thanks, glad to hear it arrived safe and sound. I have to say, I'm so glad to have printed them as well and I'll be printing up cards of all my ParoTee designs from now on!
-
That's great news Joe! I thought that might be the case when I noticed you numbered the card JG1.
-
Received mine, as well - along with a small, ornate card bearing promises of a brighter, Wackier future! Can't wait to see what's next!
Thanks, Joe!

Rob it's my pleasure and the next one is on the drawing board! Just gotta clear my work space and begin painting. Also thanks for posting that cute Facehugger early reader. I wish they had books like that when I was learning to read!
-
Got my JG1 Alien Joy card. Very happy to have the first card in this exciting new series of joegparotee's cards. I look forward to building this set over the years.
Will you be selling these cards on the bay to raise awareness and how many of the first one were printed?

I just sent you payment for the Alien Joy card. Unfortunately I'm too big to get a shirt.
-
Andrew, thanks, glad you dug it and it should be fun to see how the set comes together. In terms of selling outside the forum, nah, this is more of a for fun than for profit venture. You know a Wacky set for friends and family! Though I might bring a few to Gross Card Con in Vegas 2018.
Frank, glad you've come on board! Your card will be sent today.
-
Joe, I received my card and sketch yesterday. Really cool! Keep it coming. I have a whole binder with lots of space awaiting your, Neil's, Dave's, Chad's and Smokin' Joe's "Wacky-like" projects.
-
Got my cards today Thanks!!!
-
Scot and Chad, my pleasure! Also Scot so glad to be included in a binder in such good company!
-
Got my card and sketch today, great stuff!
-
Got my card! Great work, it looks awesome. Please let this be just a humble beginning ;)
-
Ernie and Brian, thanks for the kudos and yes, I plan to continue this endeavor as long as there are things to parody!

Love that last alien! Perhaps you should have "put it on a Ratz?"
