I bought a DC Comics Snuggie?!?!\u00a0 First off, it’s not really a “Snuggie”, it’s a “Comfy Throw”.\u00a0 What does that mean?\u00a0 That means it’s a body-length blanket with sleeves made of fleece material; similar in design to a bathrobe that is worn backwards.\u00a0 Yeah, I know.\u00a0 That’s the definition of a “Snuggie”.\u00a0 This is DC Comics’ off-brand version of a Snuggie.<\/p>\n

I picked it up at F.Y.E. in Tampa for $10 (originally priced at $20).\u00a0 The dimensions are 48″ x 71″.\u00a0 Upon seeing the box (and after finishing rolling her eyes), my wife stated that no woman would be caught dead in that thing, and the only reason a woman is wearing one on the box is because it will help sell the product to geeks.\u00a0 Y’know what, I think she’s exactly correct!<\/p>\n

When I bought it, I never really thought I’d wear it.\u00a0 However, my Comicatorium (a.k.a. Shag\u2019s Sanctum Sanctorum) is about 10 degrees colder than the rest of the house.\u00a0 So on cold winter nights this thing could actually come in handy!\u00a0 In fact, I’m wearing it as I type right now.\u00a0 It’s currently 32 degrees outside and freakin’ cold in the Comicatorium, but I’m all mosty-toasty in my DC Comics Snuggie.<\/p>\n

Here is a sample of the pattern featuring: Superman, Batman, Aquaman, Green Lantern, Shazam, Justice League of America, and the Super Powers logo.<\/p>\n

Finally, proof positive that I have no sense of shame.<\/p>\n
