Abominable Shirts!
October 6th, 2008
The very first Abominable Charles Christopher T-Shirt is here! It features all new art, drawn specifically for this shirt, and comes in two colours.
They’re available for Pre-Order and will ship in time for Christmas! I’m pretty excited.

That’s an homage to My Neighbor Totoro, isn’t it? It would be spectacular as a wallpaper.

finally, some merchandise before the book!
But these shirts are a bit expensive (do you hate people living outside the US?) though

Of course I don’t, Menno.
The shirt prices are a result of a combination of factors. I’m doing very small print runs because I’m only ordering for my readers and a few extras for shows, so volume discounts don’t really apply to me. Paypal takes a cut of the transaction, I have to buy shipping supplies, which aren’t cheap, and then pay for the actual shipping.
I decided to use flat rates rather than calculate individual shipping on each order, just to simplify the process, but I noticed that $9/package outside the US is not unusual. I live in Canada, by the way, so whenever I order things online I have to deal with this stuff too.
Anyway, I just wanted to explain things. I’d prefer to offer the shirts at a lower price, but I just can’t. Tell you what, though – if you catch me at a show somewhere it’ll definitely be cheaper! ;)

Hey, i was just kidding. Even though Non Us-residents always get the short end of the stick :)
Anyway, i really hope you continue your good work and make some more shirts!
Ahw shucks, i just noticed i can’t order anything since paypal won’t accept dutch American Express cards. oh well.

Could the shirts be available as pick-ups, or are they exclusively through the mail? Just curious. :)

Just through the mail for now, Biku.

Menno, you can associate your paypal acct with your dutch bankaccount. That way you can pay with paypal without a creditcard :) It worked for me. So i ordered me a t-shirt woohooo. Great work Karl!

I’m glad I caught this! :D
I know exactly what you mean about shirts, printing, and shipping… it’s a pain for us to deal with too~ TwT;
Now we just have to hit an event YOU will be at!!!

These are great. I just wish there was a skunk giving the thumbs up on there, too.

I bought one. I can now fly, have x-ray vision, and understand the meaning of life and can recite up to 750 digits that make up the number pi.
True story, except for the parts I made up.
