Congrats tg on the print! This thing is very detailed, surprising it's only a few colors.

I have my closet divided into sections: one for plain t-shirts, one for plain long-sleeved shirts, one for picture shirts, one for saying shirts, one for place shirts, and one for Woot shirts. Welcome, Unfolding Mystery, to my section of Woot shirts.

Congrats, t, on the print. Wonderful shirt. I love the story it tells (though murder's never funny. Except in Tale of Despereaux)

Congrats on your latest print, tg!

Are you planning to enter the Fake Band derby? I am missing your type of humor there.

Wow, awesome. Thanks very much voters and woot! I think "A Mysterious Conspiracy" is going to do really well in the redo derby, it was an awesome illustration. I was hoping for tie.

No, thanks but I'm taking a week off, working on something else.

The moral of this story is, of course, to always feed your dog and to never tease them by waving food in their faces and then stowing it in places they can't reach. Poor Mr. Boddy discovered this truth most unpleasantly, for Butler has a bit of a problem. His friends are urging him to get help and lay off the bones.

Now, in the event of a tie, do you HAVE to buy both shirts? And, if you do buy both, do they come packaged separately or together?

Very nice print, Tgentry; but I must know, why did the dog commit murder? Was it self-defense? I know you're hinting at a crime of passion (for bones), but I think the poor pooch is getting a bad rap. ;)

That's too bad. I love your illustrations but I am a little interested to see what you could do with some text.

On that note I really think what the derby needs is a few text derbies. They are a little more light-hearted since it's harder for a design to be judged just off the art and it's also harder to pander because you have to kill it witth the text as well.

On the first day, you get both for $10. They come together. After the first day, they get split up for $15 each.

Well, this was the first derby in a long time that ended up being a "threefer" for me. Sigh... So there better not be any really neat dailies this next week.

So you don't get a choice. It's all or nothing.

Why would you not want a free shirt? There are only a few artists I would feel were so terrible and unworthy to be printed that I would only want one of them.

edit:

And given the possible situation of a dsladek/tgentry print this is especially not relevant because dsladek is criminally underprinted. I've never seen so much skill go so underappreciated.

Really love the design, but I recently had a brown shirt, and I don't look as studly as compared to other colors, say navy. Trying to improve my looks from "hideous" to maybe "awful looking" through woot shirts.

As in you would like to send one to a different address as a gift or something? I don't think they do that no.

Well, if you're judging by design and not artist, there are some shirts I really wouldn't want. Like the bunnies and bigfoot, that came in fourth this time, I wouldn't want because of the feet. I hate feet. I really would not want a shirt with feet on it. But the design is very cute, and funny, there's just... feet.

But judging by the design you don't have to keep it. You can get it in any size you want and give it away as a gift to someone who would want it so no harm no foul. But if you were really upset to see that the artist of said apcray you didn't want was getting paid for printing said apcray then I could see an issue of only wanting to support the one you actually felt deserved a grand and royalties on future sales.

It's been about 12 or 13 in between lately and it's only been 8 since the last one. Given that they are barely getting HM's out anymore....who knows?

I only counted four colors. But that can't be right. Are there really so few? It looks like there should be many more...
