Bear with me, because this sounds like an April Fool’s prank but in fact is not.<\/p>\n
Zach Weinersmith, creator of the webcomic Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal<\/a>, currently has a Kickstarter project for The Gentleman’s Single-Use Monocle<\/a>. It’s a simple visual joke, the punchline being that it’s not<\/em> a condom.<\/p>\n Although we have worked hard to keep the price low, we have also taken care to make sure the monocle is of a better quality than the cheap ones you usually see in novelty shops. Our monocle is mostly plastic, with a metal chain that gives it a pleasant jingle, and color choices that give it a realistic look. The monocle itself is very durable and would be a fine addition to a cosplay costume.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Its wrapper has a clear back so you can show it off without opening it, but he also plans to sell them in multipacks in case you use them. It’d be a mildly amusing addition to a steampunky cosplay ensemble, but if they can be bulk-purchased cheaply enough I’m thinking they’d also be an excellent promotional freebie for vendors at conventions to hand out.<\/p>\n Here’s his Kickstarter video:<\/p>\n
