Awesome! I agree that maybe a particular frame, or specialized drawing would work out better than just the whole comic strip, for viewing pleasure of course. Though Lost In Translation is a good one to start with. ^_^

And by the way, I know you have to be careful not to “stimulate” people into clicking on the ads, but I was wondering whether the Adsense thing was working for you ?

Why not offer that one for sale as well ? See which one is the most popular, which will allow you to do some real market research. By the way, for the FACTS convention we work together with a Belgian company which makes excellent t-shirts at very sharp prices. Send me an e-mail if you want more info, ok ?

Duly noted!
One of the other designs I had in mind was the desktop background picture I made a while ago…

Hey Jeroen, excellent idea to make a shirt.

I got one suggestion though : it might be better to make a specific drawing which would “fill” the t-shirt rather than use a cartoon. The problem with the current design is that you need to be quite close to the person to be able to read the cartoon, while a single, large drawing (i.e. your principal character with a broken heart next to him or whatever) could be spotted from a distance and would be having much more effect, me thinks.

Except of course if it’s your intention to have your t-shirts make people come closer … (now that would be a cool tagline ! ).
