1.) There's a new Sheldon shirt just for folks pug-lovers: "Anatomy of a Pug"! Check it out...
2.) "Lucky Duck" shirts are now available for dudes! That's right, fellas, we heard you: Now there are women's AND men's sizes!
3.) By popular request, "Mind of a Ninja, Body of a Manatee" shirts now go as large as 4XL! Which, as you've told us repeatedly, is only appropriate!
4.) Also, I'm excited to say we have a new and super-stylin' place for Sheldon shirts! You guys already know that Sheldon books, original art and more can be found at the Sheldon Store -- and that'll still be true -- but now the folks at Topatoco will be handling all our shirts! This means we'll have more new shirts, larger size selections, and faster restocking than ever before. "Anatomy of a Pug" is just the first of many shirts we'll be adding to classics like Coffee: It's What's For Dinner.
We have entered the long-prophesized Golden Age of T-shirts, my friends. :)
I've always had good experiences with Topatoco. I would go as far as to say they are the only webcomic store that has provided the same level of service that I've come to expect from the Sheldon store.
Please please please offer these in American Apparel as well (for both genders). The American Apparel unisex (aka men's) cut/fabric is the only one I've found that actually fits me and is somewhat flattering. Traditional t-shirt cuts/fabrics tend to not account very well for the fact that hips can be wider than chests, without being so large that the armpits are two inches below my actual armpits. I'd buy a "Mind of a Ninja, Body of a Manatee" shirt, except I don't want to waste the money on something I already know I won't wear because of how it fits.
My only problem with Topatoco is that I've almost never been able to find any of the shirts I want in Men's XL. I realize it's one of the most popular t-shirt sizes, but I'd say that my size is always listed as "Current Reprinting" 90% of the time.
Outside of that issue, though, the service has always been top-notch.
@orlith: Gosh, that's kind of brilliant! I'll see if we can do it. My one fear is that the text might be illegible on a pug-sized shirt...but now that you've mentioned it, *I* kind of want one for our pug.
Payday is tomorrow - I'm getting the pug shirt (and hoping I can keep my mom from stealing it - she's already adopted my Pugs book).
