Flipping catalogues

 


It is National Mail Order Catalog Day! And to me it represents the inability of people to let go of things that no longer are relevant in the world. I realize some people still like printed things. Clothing catalogues seem to be the most successful. But I don't think they are sustainable. It is so expensive to print and mail catalogs. Why do it when you market can just go to your catalog on their phone or tablet and it costs you a fraction of the price. Plus you can update it quickly and don't get people wanting things from a catalog that is out of date. And they have to go online anyway to order. 
I created a t-shirt anyway because I enjoy irony. If I'm not going to sell any t-shirts I might as well not sell designs I like. It has been the philosophy of my blog for years. I write what I want and readers be damned. It has always worked for me. Helps me avoid being famous and successful.

I am the most successful unsuccessful writer and designer on the Web and proud of it!
