FASHION TIPS FROM COMIC STRIPS

Anonymous asked: You actually can post your own junk on the Tumblr tags. My friend said you can do it when someone you are following reblogs your original post. Busted!

Just because a hack/trick exists, doesn’t mean that I’ve utilized it, let alone even knew that it existed :-/ But there you go, fellow tag coordinators - use it responsibly (if at all).

Since I doubt that I can convince you otherwise (and since you really seem to care about the integrity of the Tumblr tags system), I’ll make you a deal:

• If you and your friend (whom I can only assume is also a tags coordinator, with that degree of insight) identify yourselves in my ask box, I will contact the appropriate Tumblr staff and request that they remove me as a tags coordinator. That way, you will no longer have to worry about my incredibly important role as a tag coordinator. I promise that I will not publicly reveal who you guys are.

unicornsoutofprint asked: Hey! I love so many of the outfits that get featured here, they're so sharp. I'm curious, though; does this blog feature the occasional menswear version of comic strip themed outfits? I would love to see an inspirational look book of ways that I can be superhero-chic hahaha.

While my menswear posts aren’t nearly as frequent as I’d prefer, they can be found under my menswear tag :) Likewise, a fair amount of the t-shirts featured on FTFCS are available in both men’s and women’s sizes, and many of the accessories that I’ve posted are unisex.

I’m trying my best to expand my content to better suit my followers, so if any of you have any links, redesigns, outfits, etc, that is more aligned with menswear fashion, feel free to shoot me over a message or email me at: fashiontipsfromcomicstrips [at] gmail [dot] com

Thanks, in advance :D

Anonymous asked: We all know that you are posting your own crap on #Comics. Knock it off and quit abusing your damn power.

I’ve already addressed this kind of inquiry previously, but I assume that this is probably the same anon, so I hope I can further clarify how the tags system works.

As a tag coordinator, I actually cannot tag my own posts. For every post on my dashboard, there is a star icon (to the left of the heart/like icon) that allows me to select the post to be featured under the #Comics tag, as seen below on LuluBonanza’s post:

Please note how on my own post (below LuluBonanza’s), there is no star icon, as Tumblr restricts me from selecting my own posts for the #Comics tag.

Likewise, while the star icon is still available to click even after a post has previously been selected for the #Comics tag (as seen on MingDoyle’s post below), I still cannot select any of my own posts (including my personal Tumblr) for the #Comics tag:

I hope that clears things up a bit. I apologize if you are unhappy with the content that appears in the featured #Comics tag, but since I cannot control who is actually selecting my posts, perhaps you can bring up the issue with Tumblr.

ssjtimotay asked: I am a swimmer, and need to one up my current speedo, I got really excited because I thought the undies were speedos, but any idea where I can find a superhero speedo?

I’m not aware of any licensed superhero swimwear, but I wrote a post earlier this year on Splish swimwear’s selection of superhero-inspired swimwear, which includes speedos inspired by Captain America and Aquaman. This, and other swimwear-related posts, can be found under my swimwear tag (which can be easily accessed in my Style Index).

Note for all readers: Feel free to peruse my STYLE INDEX (which can be located at the top of the left sidebar on my main page, under Navigation) - you can browse Fashion Tips by topic, character, comic series, and article of clothing :)

Anonymous asked: Do you know of any Batman pajama pants out there (for men)? I'm desperately trying to find some, but all I can find are for little boys or have the entire justice league, not just Batman. I can find pictures of some, but not actually for sale =[

I believe that I spotted a pair of fleece Batman pajama pants in the men’s section of Target a couple weeks ago! Wal-mart & Target usually have a pretty decent selection of nerdy pajama pants. You may want to try eBay as well, which currently has a few listings for Batman pajama/lounge pants.

Hope that helps!

**EDIT** Kmart currently has Batman pajama pants in men’s sizes S-XL for $16.99, and they’re currently 30% off. (Thanks for the heads up, ifuckinglovebatman!)

Anonymous asked: Quit putting the same damn post on #Comics over and over. We see it already!

Unfortunately, I actually can’t control which of my own content gets featured in the #Comics tag, as we can’t feature our own posts. :-/
