"No Heart" in Apocalipstick

I've had a request to do a t-shirt design like the shirt that Jack puts on at the end of Apocalipstick. It has a heart inside a banned symbol. Does anyone know, is that something that was created for the comic? Or has it been around --I mean, is it like a Pink Floyd album cover that I don't know about? In the comic, does that symbol represent disobedience, which is the word that Tom O'Bedlam leaves Jack with? Do you suppose that Tom made that shirt himself, or is he supposed to have bought it from Tesco?

Go on, the garbage pile in my head needs adding to...

I asked Grant, actually--he said it wasn't from anything. Mostly it just seemed a punkrock thing to wear, he claimed.

But then, Jack hears a lot about his heart in that time frame--"I am the hidden stone and break all hearts... break open your heart." "And then it was like a door in my heart opened and I knew what to do." That kind of thing.

I never thought about whether it represented disobedience... I mostly just thought about how he cuts his hair, now that he's getting serious, like Buddha cut his hair with a sword back before he was 'Buddha'.

I think we needed a scene where the Archon is taunting Dane by singing "Let's all go to Tescos, where Jack Frost gets his best clothes....". Just think - the whole direction of the series could have changed completely.

So when you've made the shirts...

How can I get one?

But why do you want it? What does it mean to you? Help me out here! Otherwise I'm going to do a shirt that says "Let's all go to Tescos, where Jack Frost gets his best clothes," which I must say I'm extremely inclined to!
