Awesome episode... I love that batboy t-shirt!

(But then again, who IS batboy?)

AttackedByCats- Batboy is a legendary half bat, half boy creature that appeared on those silly black and white paranormal newspapers they sell at supermarkets. Ironically enough, if he were real he too would be attacked by cats.

i think batboy actually eats cats...

wait a minute...batboy is not real??!!
all these years...

I looked him up on Wikipedia (an unreliable resource, but who cares?), and instantly I realized where he was originated. Those supermarket tabloids are hard to miss.

Also, I use parentheses waaaaay too much.

Batboy was also the name of a musical that ran off-broadway. ...and Weekly World News was the "supermarket newspaper" that originally reported Batboy.

Loved the episode guys. Definitely picked up a few tips. Can't wait to see more! :)

a friend told me he knows the woman who invented botboy and that she got shafted by the popular weekly paper when they continually used the image and she never got paid for it....
that's what i was told...but you didn't hear it from me.
btw, i love the use of parentheses (i had to keep referring back to attackedbycats' post to actually be able to spell "parentheses")
i use the .... approach myself.

Um... didn't a guy invent batboy? I think his name is Dick Kulpa.

lesson for today kids...always check your facts.

You guys rock! I can't wait to see more!! Oh, and I have an idea I'd like to run by you, more to come!

I'm also tired of the grunge look, and that whole Seattle garage-band flannel raver trance mosh-pit thing. And punk, I'm tired of that too, and new wave, with their narrow ties. And disco, and heavy metal, and acid rock, and love-ins and be-ins and key-parties and mop-tops and sock-hops. Tired of it all.

I like this show. It is very entertaining. Much appreciated. :)

I think I would have liked to see the worlds fattest baby done by stencil too- but batboy is a great one too!
I love those papers by the way. My first introduction to "real" news. My Grandmother swore by it all. No wonder I go to therapy!

that's so funny. i used to love to go to my grandma's to read all the gossip mags...

Hey guys! that was a really awesome episode! I loved that T-shirt makin' lesson! You guys R cool! whatching you from Hungary!

I'm new to Thread Bangers (so i am watching every episode to get caught up...)
I came here hoping for some low-budget costume ideas (that means i found out about you through IndyMogul.com)
Ok enough of the spam...
I have a question.
On the Shirts do you Hand Wash Every time or can i throw it in the wash after the first few hand washes?
I have a lovely Jones Fu Fu Berry Button Up that i made for a friend...and i need to know if Machine wash will ruin it...before i give it to her...(i don't want her Random gift to be too much of a hassle...)

and by the way...(I like the dot-dot-dot/parenthesis approach)

omg. thats sooo cool.

normally i would freak out on the guy that says "cut out all the black".

When I saw images of Bat Boy as a child on such as the National Enquirer, I was terrified for months. I wouldn't sit at my desk coz I thought he was hiding underneath and was going to eat me.

what kinda paints he usin???? EMAIL ME!!! w.kicks@hotmail.com

i like her eye shadow at d end haha

shouid i iron the t-shirt after i spray paint it

what kind of spray paint did he use!??

I tried this today with some white craft spray paint and 100% cotton black t shirt and its coming out horrible. has anyone tried this and have any tips?

what type of spray paint do you use, and how does that not go through the paper, i tried it once and it went straight through the paper and that sucked, did you use sticky tape or something other than paper?

where can I get stencils?

take a bat boy stencil and take a cat stencil and then make bay boi look at the kat like hes hungry! lol!

This is awesome!

Hey, I was wondering, exactly which (brand of) spray paint did he use for this? Also, is it okay if I use the plastic used for over-head projectors instead of acetate?
