Special effects like this SHINY! METALLIC! INK! get less special every time you use them. So we try to hold them in reserve for truly special occasions. If we used SHINY! METALLIC! INK! on every one of our designs, it would literally lose its luster, figuratively speaking.

So we’re glad to have a legitimate reason to splash a little of that SHINY! METALLIC! INK! around: a webcomics pioneer (more on that below) taking a beloved character (from the public domain works of L. Frank Baum, of course) on the greatest adventure of all: the adventure inside himself. Too bad about the ending.

This shirt was designed by: R. “The R is for Richard” Stevens, creator of the long-running, laugh-inducing, adult-content-having webcomic Diesel Sweeties and a pile of t-shirt designs that make us jealous, available at his store Dumbrella. It’s not often we feature an artist whose work has its own Wikipedia page – this calls for some SHINY! METALLIC! INK!

Wear this shirt: to let potential mates know you won’t require much of their bandwidth to download.

Don’t wear this shirt: to the land of Oz. Not because of the content, but because wearing t-shirts in Oz is punishable by guillotine. That’s the side the movie never shows you.

This shirt tells the world: “Just because I’m made of pixelated tin, am I any less a man? If you prick me, do I not bleed? Oh, right, I don’t. Never mind.”

We call this color: SHINY! METALLIC! INK! Really “Pops” On Black.
