Description: A re-do of the ancient carving, but with a slightly darker touch. Bells still stands in the center with the top two symbols of the dead within a cycle. All under a flower-y sun. These will return to the cycle as they have navels. Ghosts on the other hand, do not have these and are seen under Bells with mouths (the common design for ghosts in the webcomic). Under it, is a broken crescent moon that if you step back (along with the two ghosts) form a familiar grin, engulfing the ghosts and Raju/Bells. Spikes or fins surround the bottom hinting at a deeper meaning.
Description: Nothing’s worse than being stuck with an eternal smile, except dealing with some meddling guardians, I suppose. BUT ya gotta keep that attitude and just grin and bear it as best as you can! Be it an annoying class, relentless work, noisy neighbors, or that stray animal that keeps leaving presents at your door, best you can do is smile and move forward. Don’t let the nihilistic madness set in, the self-proclaimed Guardian of the Ghosts has you covered.
Description: Inspired by the traditional “Gallo de pelea”, Gallo is one of the ghosts doomed to a horrible fate. However, despite this, he is convinced he’s /different/ and has a hero complex among the other ghosts (much to everyone else’s frustration). You may not have a hero complex, but you’ll look damn fine with the Gallo design of your choosing! He even comes handy with a guardian mask! What a steal—wait, no, don’t steal, he won’t approve it.
Description: "Cuco" is the LatinX equivalent of the boogeyman, although the word "coco" is also used, the same word for coconut. In Cosmic Fish, cucos are egg-like creatures who sprout bodies in the darkness and often devour small creatures (be it from animals to even children) yet are also known to attack ghosts.They are hidden throughout the comic if you look closely within the backgrounds, and are often spoken about as a primal fear for many of the characters. (Whereas flowers tend to be a repetitive motif in the comic to signify peace and forgiveness.) Thus the context of the shirt can be taken as metaphorical or literal but I mean, let's admit, it looks pretty wicked.
Description: Inspired by the Vejigantes of Ponce (Puerto Rico), Ciante is the guardian of the skies in Cosmic Fish. Cucos and monsters are terrified of him, whereas everyone else (humans and other beings on the planet) worship and hang his mask in homes as a sign of protection and prosperity. And now, YOUR chest can be protected by monsters. That seems pretty great!
