Multiple Midtoon Shirts

The Midtoon Herald, February 18, 2009

How many Midtoon T-Shirts can a man have?

That is the question thousands of Midtoon subscribers are asking themselves these days. Well, maybe not 'thousands' yet, but you all get the idea.

The issue arises from the multiplicity of Midtoon T-Shirts that John Campos seems to have. We saw him wearing a yellow one January 26 and 30. On January 28 we saw him before he changed out of his work clothes, but on February 13, we saw him wearing a Green one with the initials M.T. (For Mid-Toon) in red. This morning, he was seen wearing a khaki T-Shirt with the word 'Midtoon' on it.

"Comic strip characters are supposed to wear the same clothes all the time", said one neighbor who did not want to be named. "It is to make it easy to the readers to recognize them. Mr. Campos is not following the rules".

Another person complained on the same lines and added that "Mabel and the children always wear the same clothes. Who does he think he is to be changing clothes every other day?"

Mr. Campos himself told this reporter via telephone that contrary to your usual comic strip character, he has a "strong body odor, and he cannot be wearing the same shirt forever." He denied accusations that he has been depriving his family of proper clothing while he indulges in purchasing Midtoon T-Shirts.

Mr. Neftali Rivera, Executive Producer of Midtoon, when asked if the continued use of Midtoon T-Shirts by John was an attempt to sell the same products online, scratched his bald head and said "That may be a good idea..."

If Midtoon.com starts selling t-Shirts, this reporter will ask for a commission...
