Announcement 3: San Diego Comic-Con Exclusive T-shirt

Friday, July 18, 2008 - 01:04 AM

This strip got such an awesome reaction when it appeared, that we ended up turning it into a button. And, in a way that still surprises me, that one button disappears faster at conventions than any other Sheldon buttons. So I thought it'd be neat to do it as an exclusive t-shirt for San Diego Comic-Con.

Here's how it came out:

That's me in that picture, by the way (not), lookin' pretty ripped (not), from all the workin' out I do (not) like 4 times a day (not).

Anyway! You can snag your San Diego Comic-Con Exclusive T-shirt next week, at booth #2107!

And who knows: If they get a good reaction at San Diego, we might bring 'em in the Sheldon Store. We'll see what folks think of 'em.

Well, as another UK reader, I would love to get the T-shirt and so would like the opportunity to purchase without having to go to San Diego.

Living outside of DC, to quote John Pinnette "me and some of my large mammal friends" could really use a good t-shirt like this. Get it in the store or at least bring some when next you come to Maryland/DC/Virginia!!!

Yes, because the model above looks so much like a manatee. More like a Manganiello.

I agree; make them available in the store!!

I run a ski trip to Park City with my friends every year where we call ourselves "Team Manatee" (logo below) inspired by Jim Gaffigan's awesome stand up bit.

When I saw this comic, I immediately sent it to everyone on the trip mailing list, and everyone loved it.

These would make a great uniform for us.

Looks awesome.

Any chance of a shirt for "Pugs, god's little weirdo's"?

Maaaaan, too much con-only stuff :p. ...So when will there be 30-year-old-fans-from-Southern-Germany exclusive shirts?
So another vote for having those in the online store.

Exclusive to some convention I'm not attending? Aw crap! I totally was gonna buy one until you said that.

PLEASE sell these to mortal folk. Unless you happen to hate money. I have a feeling they'd sell very, very well.

I don't live anywhere near San Diego. Either bring them to Baltimore or put them online. The first time I saw the badge in the store, I told my wife, "If he makes a T-shirt out of that, I want one!"

I would buy one, if made available online. The pin is actually one of my favorite safety pin substitutes for holding race numbers to my triathlon jersey.

Oh, Man! Gotta get one of these... No make that two...or maybe three... I know waaay too many fellow manatees, and can't get to the con. My son the artist is requesting Dante's Decision Tree poster online post-Con, as well. Please?
(Gave my mom one of the buttons while she was in rehab after heart surgery - you now have a whole passel of new fans who are Gramps' peers.)

I'm definitely in, as long as you offer these in a L or XL for those of us for whom "body of a manatee" is more than just a catchy slogan.

Oh, and sea locked Aussies would LOVE a few of those shirts! (At least THIS Aussie would!)

PLEASE release for all Sheldonistas, not just those freaky-awesome-lucky enough to attend a con!

Please????

put me down as one of the bummed if the convention was the only place to get the shirt and put me down as one of the elated if it was available after.
(it's no caps/minimal punctuation/run-on sentence monday in my world...)
