Lookit me, bein' timely!
At ConnectiCon, Joel Watson was all “Hey, do some t-shirts.” And I’m all “I can’t I am small and weak.” So he says, “Yeah we know but do them anyway here’s how.”
So here I am doing tshirts again! Some people are really great at designing tshirts. I am not one of those people! I am much better at doing only webcomics and starving. But the way I have this set up works around that. These shirts are made to order. I don’t gotta do a print run of 30 million, sell only two, and then live out of a cardboard box. (Presumably the cardboard box that the shirts came in.) I also don’t have to mail them myself! I get to keep drawing both my webcomics! There is no downside. You get shirts you hopefully want, and I don’t die destitute on the street, pretending a cafeteria tray is a Cintiq.
Example of something no one will buy.
And because these are made to order, that means I can be more experimental and throw up some shirts that people have asked for, but were ideas that I didn’t think had mass appeal. So right now this is a brainstorming session, where I throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks.
Sell my shirt to those who ask. Sell it truly.
Right now, because I’m in the middle of moving, and because Joel did a comic about how my wife is unsatisfied by my small penis, I’m just gonna link you to his Sharksplode FAQ page in lieu of my own. All of the information is the same. It’s the same t-shirt/shipping company. When I’m done moving, I’ll just plagiarize that and put it on my own site. Because that’s the kind of friend I am to Joel. Joel’s FAQ page has all sorts of information on the high quality of these shirts, the sizings, etc. (Remember, girls sizes run a size small! Also, I don’t know what that means. Check out the size charts. I will be stealing those, too.)
Here’s the store link! Let us do this thing, and clothe ourselves. As time goes on, I’ll let you know when I throw additional designs into the store. I have at least two more that I’m holding back on at the moment. They’re not as strong, I feel, but that’s what this experiment is for, right? To try scary things?
If you go into your wife’s formspring you can prove that he is either a cruel and devious liar or that your wife cannot remember what she tells people. Either way is awesome for you!
I would buy the “Honor” shirt in a heartbeat if they came in 3X. Damn you, Willis!
I would buy the “Honor” shirt in a heartbeat if it came in 3X. Damn you, Willis!
I would double post in a heartbeat if my internet crapped out. Damn you, Willis!
I doublechecked, and the navy and black shirts do come in larger sizes, and so I’ve added 3XLs to the store pages for “Honor” and “Your Mom Says.”
Ah, excellent. It is done.
Want to find shirts that will sell? Go into the comments and pick out the memes that have formed there. Things like “FAAAAAAACCCEEE!!!” or “…with my penis.” would be instant t-shirt gold.
I already have a “FAAACE” shirt ready. I expect it will sell two.
“Two,” you only think you will sell two? Or do you perhaps mean “too” as in also?
I only think I will sell two.
Though so far I’ve sold three. So in your face, me!
In all honesty, I’d rather have an ACTUAL Shortpacked name badge, than a shirt that kinda looks like it has one attached to it. You could order a batch, then make personalized badges for folks at conventions with one of those little label-makers.
But only after they fill out Galasso’s application for seasonal employment.
All eighteen pages.
In triplicate.
<— Still has an "I Harbor Perverse Sexual Lust" t-shirt.
Because, you know, I do.
What I would LOVE to see is a black shirt – or even white – with a color copy of the Batman – DDR comic you did on it. I tell so many people about that comic and wish it was on a shirt… (and I give them your web address too… ) but yeah – shirt – hello – paid for advertising.. and Batman. Enough said.
Could you produce new ‘No I’m Batman’ shirts? Mine is starting to look a tad shabby.
Yeah, mine now belongs to the dog because it got so old. I loved that shirt, I got so many comments wearing it. To not make that shirt again is an injustice to the world.
