LIKE A HEART ATTACK

For those of you wondering if the sale I announced in the store is for real or not, I have a dozen packaged orders sitting in my office that say "Oh, yeah. We’re for real, baby."

Now maybe you’re thinking to yourself. "Twelve orders? That’s not very much." I urge you  to keep in mind that this was the first day of the sale and we’re working from a limited inventory. So if you’re thinking of ordering anything, DON’T WAIT. I can’t stress this enough. I’ve already had to tell a couple of unfortunate souls that the shirt they wanted was no longer in stock. This saddens me as much as it saddens them. Mostly because I have to refund their money. DON’T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU!

Remember that all t-shirts are $9.99, all baby-doll tees are $14.99 and all hoodies (or should I say "hoodie?") are $24.99. Our sale ends two weeks from now on February 6. If I’m already having to be the bearer of bad news in regards to diminished inventory on the first day, you don’t want to be caught out in the cold on the second to last day of the sale with nothing to show for it. Prices will not be this low again for a very long time.

ALL CLEAR!

For those of you who might have been holding out on your order today due to my post from last night, I wanted to let everyone know that the inventory reflected in the store is up-to-date and accurate. There should now be no confusion regarding what designs are left, so you won’t have to worry about ordering something that someone else may have snatched up first.

We have several styles and sizes still left, so I encourage you to get in there while the gittin’s good! It’s my hope to burn off the remainder of my inventory so I can start fresh with new projects in the future – namely, the Theater Hopper: Year One book! So that means you’re unlikely to see discounted prices on these shirts for a long time to come.

Our sale ends on February 6, so ORDER AWAY!

YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME

I just wanted to pop in and say how awesome you guys are with ordering stuff from the store. I put the call out, and you totally answered.

But I also want to give everyone a heads-up that I haven’t been able to process today’s orders just yet. It’s possible that some of you may have ordered items that were snapped up by someone else and I have to adhere to a first-come-first-serve basis.

I’m hoping that’s not the situation we find ourselves in for the majority of you, but it’s happened a couple of times already. So like I said, just a head’s up.

If someone has already claimed the item you want, I will follow up with you personally and let you know. I’d be happy to either refund your money or apply it as store credit toward the purchase of another design. It kind of sucks, but that’s the stuff you run into when you’re working with a limited inventory.

I’ve been able to keep up with updating what’s in stock. I’m just saying it’s not happening tonight. I have a wicked head cold and I need to get to bed. Plus, I just got the estimate back on my banged up Element and it was $1,800. Yeah. That doesn’t help much, either.

But you guys are great! Thanks so much for your support!

NEW SHIRTS

After Emerald City Comicon, I had a couple of t-shirt ideas kicking around in my head. I tend to over-analyze my ideas and smother them before I give them a chance to get off the ground. So this time out, I decided just to roll with my instincts and try not to put too much thought into it.

Maybe I’m not doing myself any favors by putting them out here for your comments at such a formative stage. But I figure at this point, what do I have to lose? Either I entertain the notion of a new t-shirt design and kill it before I ever sit down to design it or I knock one out super quick so I can at least move on to the next thing. Who knows? Maybe you might like it? Maybe it’ll be the biggest-selling shirt I’ve ever designed!

A GOAL IN MIND

June 22nd, 2009 | by Tom
Posted In: Blog

Okay, this was the post that you were meant to read this morning, but the one I couldn’t get to until I put Henry down for his afternoon nap.

Regarding Transformers, that can wait. I’m going to be talking about it all week, so there’s no need to dive neck-deep into it now.

Although, I must confess today’s strip is autobiographical. I’m less interested in seeing the movie than I am in finding out how they wrote Shia LaBeouf’s hand injury into the storyline. I anticipate that it will be richly satisfying.

Anyway… onto business.

As you know, a few weeks ago I lost my job. This came at a bad time for a lot of reasons, but one among the myriad of reasons is that I was about to send my registration for Artist Alley at Wizard World Chicago, August 6 – 9. Losing my job halted that action in it’s tracks.

Although Theater Hopper is its own entity and has its own money, I wasn’t sure if it was appropriate to attend a convention when I might have to dip into that money once my severance is gone.

I won’t bore you with the mental tug-of-war I put myself in the middle of. But, eventually, when I talked to Cami about it, she didn’t see where there was a problem and told me to go for it. Bless her for being as supportive as she is.

So, long story short, I’m going. I’m sharing a table with Zach Miller from Joe and Monkey, hanging out with the guys from Digital Pimp Online and hopefully selling some new merchandise.

Ah, but there’s the rub. I don’t exactly HAVE any new merchandise.

People who pre-ordered Theater Hopper: Year Three know this. I’ve been sitting on a finished draft of that book for months, but I haven’t had the money to have it printed up. Pre-orders stalled and I’m still trying to raise funds.

I thought I would bolster that effort by designing a new shirt – Spoiler Alert! – in hopes that the revenue from the sale of those shirts would help bridge the gap on the funds I need to print the book.

That didn’t happen, either.

I’m not pointing fingers at anyone but myself. In all honesty, I haven’t been talking about Year Three or the new shirt. So, beyond the intifada announcement, why would I expect there to be any orders? I haven’t been talking about it, so people haven’t been ordering. It’s really that simple.

Well, here’s what I’m going to do: I’m going to kick my plan back into gear and I’m trying to push the Spoiler Alert! tees hard before I go to Wizard World Chicago. I’m confident that this design will be a big seller in Chicago and I want to get this shirt to the printer before I leave for the convention.

With your help, I can raise the money I need to get the shirts printed up, take to Chicago and produce the profit I need to put Year Three back on track for publication.

To help us with our goal, I’ve created this handy bar graph:

Wizard World Chicago Pre-Order Drive

As you can see, I need a minimum of 50 shirt orders before July 31 to make this work. If I can sell more than that, great. If the sale of merchandise extends beyond the Spoiler Alert! shirt and into the Spoiler 1 and 2 shirts, the Theater Hopper: Year One or Year Two books… that’d be great as well! Every little bit helps! What’s important is that we inch that bar to the left as far as we can before July 31.

I’ve been gun shy about this kind of promotion since Theater Hopper: Year Two came out in the fall of 2007. Well, I can’t afford to sit on my hands any longer. I’ve set a goal for myself and I need your help! So let’s see what we can do about racking up some pre-orders!!!

As always, I appreciate your support, patience and enthusiasm. Thanks again and I will talk to you soon!
