Don't know if any of you are avid readers of the comic Frazz by Jef Mallet, but today's (October 21, 2009) comic gives a hearty nod to Vibram FiveFingers (click to see it in full resolution):
Meanwhile, in other FiveFingers-illustration-news, Luke Radl (@lukeradl | website) did a great illustration tribute to a fellow fan of FiveFingers and Batman, the late Bill Joyce:
Luke said about his friend Bill:
He was wicked adventurous and totally unstoppable at anything he wanted to do. He was a huge Batman fan (the memorial was littered with Bat symbols) and a big barefoot enthusiast. The shoes are Vibram Five Fingers and once I showed them to him he hated to wear anything else.
Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend, Luke, and what a fantastic way to pay tribute to his memory!
Be sure to check out Luke's website for some impressive illustrative work!

Is That The VIBRAM logo on Frazz's tee shirt???? In the comic strip :-) 
Good eye, James! I believe you are right. The logo is different in today's strip, so it must have been a one off for the shoe strip. 
Okay, we have now officially gone mainstream. :D
