Or reclining in sunshine in a dreamy Sunflower t-shirt:

For that matter, can you really imagine being at the ballpark without wearing a Conehead Zombie fitted cap:

And, finally, no one but no one wants to be frolicking in a meadow sans their Ask Me About Mustache Mode t-shirt:

Unless they are a square. And you’re not a square, right? Prove it by shopping for Plants vs. Zombies apparel now!

 

It’s Wear Underpants Outside Your Pants Day!

I think it’s especially magical that this holiday falls on a Wednesday this year, because Wednesday is new comic books day. And personally, when I think of someone wearing underpants outside their pants, I don’t merely think, “What a silly sartorial choice,” I think of superheroes. (And white coats and padded rooms, maybe. Just a little. Might depend how well the outfit matches. Our zombie, for instance, looks pretty snazzy.)

So as you walk around today, if you see anyone celebrating this little-known holiday, give them a smile. (Not too inviting a smile — it’s hard to tell a celebrant from a kook who can’t dress himself properly.) And think about superheroes and how you might be one too, deep down inside. And then choose your superhero name and make yourself a superhero ID card. It’s okay, I have one too. No need to be embarrassed.

Then head over to Amazon to pick up a Plants vs. Zombies 2013 wall calendar so you don’t miss out on any more of these special days. You’ll probably kick yourself a little when you see how you already lost a perfect excuse to walk around sounding silly on Fake Accent Day.

But trust Plants vs. Zombies to remind us that even in the darkest hours, there is light to be found! And trust the Plants vs. Zombies store to have plenty of sunshiny stock on hand to carry you through the winter months. For instance:

This little sunflower key chain puts sunshine right in your pocket!

You could fall asleep at night with a sunflower pillow!

There’s also wearable sunshine to be had…

For daytime...

...or night!

There is all kinds of sunny, summery goodness to be found at the PvZ store, so head over to find more ways to make it through till spring!*

*Note: you can continue to enjoy your sunflower clothing and plushies in the springtime, especially if you live in places like Seattle, where the grey is not mindful of the calendar.

And now for the PopCap party people:

A fun-loving Joker gleefully menaces a broody Batman.

This duo was a walking reminder to all of the profound importance of partying on.

Winner of Scariest Costume...the girl from the Ring. Not in fact a brunette Cousin Itt.

While both these couples clearly coordinated their costumes, they did not actually coordinate with each other! This is a cosmic cosplay confluence of Nickelodeon devotion.

Winner of Best PopCap Costume: our beloved attack dog, Noni, caught in the act of foraging for food around the office. The one flaw in the execution is that Noni never actually looks sheepish when she gets caught.

Thing 1 and Thing 2 win for best costume to wear for crashing parties on Halloween--seriously, how do you know who's in there?

Another gorgeously crafted costume from Katie, who brought us last year's Medusa. How does she do it? What might she charge to make something for me....

The grand prize winners were a trio. Everyone seemed very excited about their costume. Something to do with "L'Homme de la Famille," I think.

If you’re looking for inspiration this year, here are a few of our past favorites:

Or show your love of zombies that carry javelins:

Or aren’t going back to school at all, but just want to start your own garden of plush plants:

The Plants vs. Zombies Store is waiting for you to come visit.

PS: Yes, if you wear a zombie shirt you do need to make a crazy hungry zombie pose. But hopefully you already knew that and will act accordingly.

Two Rorschachs, a Quailman, Batgirl...not sure about our friend on the right, but he's certainly colorful!

Sam is a brave kid with a winning smile and a profound love of comic books, which instantly makes him the coolest kid I know of. His mother put out the call for photos of people wearing superhero t-shirts, so last Friday, PopCappers showed up in a variety of superhero t-shirts and even costumes to let Sam know we’re in his corner.

After the big group photo, someone called out, "Get one where we're all flying!" You can see the confusion as some of the heroes present wondered whether their characters were capable of flight.

Anyway, that headline is no lie, and you are not dreaming: Plants vs. Zombie t-shirts are now finally for sale at select retail stores in North America, allowing you to proclaim your love for the game to the world in the most stylish and fashionable way possible this side of a Paris or Milan runway!  You’ll turn heads, stop traffic, and quite possibly even cause multi-car collisions as you saunter down the street in one of these brand-new beauties.  Check ‘em out:

Look how happy they are in one of our new shirts! This could be you!

So. You may be wondering where you can find one of these shirts. Your best bets for now are at Sears, Wal-Mart, and Kohls, but don’t worry if you can’t find one yet – this is just the first salvo, and we have much more to come. And if you are lucky enough to find and buy one, take a photo of yourself and share it with us on our Facebook wall! We may even reward you in some yet-to-be-determined way!

Yay!

Well, we caught up with all of the PopCap Movember men on the last day of November, to capture their moustache glory before they shaved it all off.

Even Zombie rocked a 'stache

What an impressive group of moustachios!
