The internet can dig it, it's an accurate definition. '_'

Truth on teee shirrrrts: I approve.

I guess this comic is pretty tough to make t-shirt slogans for. A lot of the jokes/scenarios are only funny in context with the larger story. They don't really boil down to a punch line very well.

do you have any color preferences? specifically or generally "i like mauve" or "i prefer dark shirts" etc.

i would not purchase that.

i would buy a soft, light blue t-shirt, girls-style, that had your lj-icon on it. a hero for our time? i belive so.

also, tap into the marketing potential of hcd and maybe make a special edition t-shirt for that. i think that would be bad-ass, to have a t-shirt w/ one of the typical panels from your HCD and then like "hourly comic day, feb 1, 2009". something like that. yea. or if you could just send me an old t-shirt that you've written "wheaton is amazing, really" in sharpie on, that'd be cool too.

i would totally buy that. in that color and everything. it's a great idea.
but yeah, i guess most people prefer at least two options of color.
maybe that blue and grey? or that blue and black? green could be cool?

Become and investment banker. You will not run out of money but you may run out of love.

Or in today's economy maybe you will get laid off and run out of money and love :(.

Though I do think this is a strong shirt that I could potentially see being ripped off without credit by a shady t-shirt company, I probably wouldn't buy it. I'm not really into shirts that make explicit statments. I'd rather have a harder to explain shirt with a cool yet simple design, one more reflective of the sublime, odder stuff that I like in so much of your work, such as car-lifting butterflies or vomiting a person who died (not that those would work as t-shirts either).

i wish i had the artistic know-how to convey some of the feelings i try to convey in my comics with just an illustration. i am gonna keep tryin' at it.

several people have told me i should make a full comic and put it on a t-shirt sometime, maybe this would be the way to go.

Would buy. Would be more inclined to buy if it were a different color. Grey would be neat?

you should make t-shirts from your 50 answers. i would buy a post-cowboys or britney spears or support delicious cake only or post-it notes only or couches are 34 awesome. those are my favorites. make some shirts from those.

also, mr. campbell, i miss your comics sometimes. it is good because i have a lot of kate beaton to keep me warm at night, but the john campbell-shaped hole in my webcomics life is gaping. i know you're all depressed/angry at all your fans and stuff, but any time you'd like to give us some journal comics, i would smile sadly.

Yeah, I agree, I'd really love a Support Delicious Cake only shirt. I would pay some money for it for sure. Post-cowboys would be a good candidate too.

Your designs should play off of the simple illustrations that you do. A memorable recent scene is in "some men need no words" where Paul give the finger. You don't draw fingers, so that makes it extra funny.

I'd prefer the "alcoholism runs in my family" design over this one.

If you want to promote PFSC, then you should make a design that's like a promotion for it. I like the characters and I think you could showcase them on a shirt. I like what Onstad does with his Achewood characters on shirts.

I would buy that shit!
The last shirt I bought of yours was not the size I ordered so eric has to wear it. I want a shirt of my own!
Incidentally he is going to wear it to France and it is going to be awesome.

hey, what size/color/gender did you want and what did you end up getting? a friend of mine ended up with a shirt that was basically the opposite of what he ordered and i hadn't heard about any other mix-ups! (sorry!!)

I would definitely buy this, but I was thinking it would look better on a gray of a darker blue. I don't think the light blue matches with the pessimistic tone.


Also, you weren't lying when I emailed you. Yay!
