A coffee mug is the most honest object in the house. It is there for the early alarm, the long meeting and the late headline, and it knows exactly what kind of day you are having. Our Coffee Mugs collection puts the whole Orange Liar cast on glossy black mugs, where every orange swoop and red tie glows against the dark, so your cup can keep you company and keep its own commentary going between sips.
The first cup
Morning calls for a character who understands. Sir Complains a Lot is the chubby piglet with his mouth already open and his eyebrows up, the perfect companion for anyone who needs to read the news before deciding how to feel about it. The Simply an Ass donkey gazes out with big wide eyes and his tie centered, a face that says the day has not started well for somebody, just not you. And the grinning snake with the doubled S across his chest greets you with a smile so wide you will want a second look before you take a sip.
The meeting mug
Every office has a mug that gets noticed. Carry The Democracy Menace into the conference room and let the swaggering donkey in the orange trousers stand guard beside your notes. My Open Mouth Spews Lies brings the bug-eyed pig with the flame-shaped forelock, a quiet little review of whatever is being presented. The Amazing Asshat leans on the side of the mug with his tail on fire and not a care in the world, which is a mood some meetings deserve. Nobody has to say a word. The mug speaks up for you.
The afternoon refill
By three o'clock the humor gets a little looser. Drink Up stares out with those spiral rainbow eyes, the face of a donkey who has had plenty of whatever was in the pot. Just One Little Sip peeks over the rim as the hypnotized vulture, one talon raised politely, which is exactly how the fourth cup feels. The Swamp King stands in his rumpled brown suit with smoke curling off his tail, a reminder that the day is not over yet.
For the one who reads the news with coffee in hand
This collection is for the early riser who checks the headlines with a mug in both hands and an eyebrow already raised. She has opinions, she has a sense of humor about them, and she has learned that a good laugh before eight keeps the rest of the day manageable. Picture her refilling the Sir Complains a Lot mug while she reads a story out loud to nobody in particular. The coffee is strong. The cartoon is louder. And the pig, as always, has notes.
