Turtle Monster T-Shirt
Turtle Monster T-Shirt (Brown)

I've been kicking around this t-shirt design for almost three years now, but I've never been able to come up with an appropriate tag line (the original tagline, derived from this 2003 Premium comic strip, was fun but not really appropriate for just about anyone).

I put the design up for discussion, and while I got a lot of excellent suggestions for a replacement tag line, the best suggestion we received was to just run with the design sans text. So that's what I'm doing. The beauty of this is that your favorite tag line was not chosen, you can write it in yourself with a Sharpie. Everyone wins!

Turtle Monster T-shirts are now available for pre-order; I'll tally up the orders on May 17th and ask Kurt to print them up. During the pre-order period, I'm offering the shirt on Gold Nugget Hanes and Brown American Apparel, as well as gold and brown flavors of babydoll t-shirt. I may trim those offerings post-pre-order based on response, so be warned!

Oh, and be sure to check out the bonus comic strip!

Nah, with the arms in front I'm betting that's the Macarena.

So, I'm going to have to be the one to make the "maybe he's looking for a Shell station!" joke, right?

It's historically been my job.

But now you're stuck with it. Forever!

Your option is to ask the people at American Apparel to make a shirt in that color.
