ORIGINAL PVP SHIRT

ORIGINAL QUESTIONABLE CONTENT SHIRT

ORIGINAL XKCD SHIRT

ORIGINAL DRESDEN CODAK SHIRT

Linked in order of appearance above. Each of the the original shirts is terrible in their own way. The PVP shirt shows a delusional view of the importance of webcomics. The QC shirt is a stupid, hand-written typo that could be reproduced at home with a marker pen but instead people pay $17 to own it. The XKCD shirt is horribly drawn and the typeface is ugly beyond words, I can’t imagine why anyone would look at that and choose to wear it. Finally the Dresden Codak shirt is another example of his “People who like sports are dumb” attitude that has appeared in the main comic a few times.

All pretty bad, all expensive and all raking in the money for the creators. I wouldn’t have a problem with them if the shirts were better though, come on guys, take your shirts to the next level! Hire a graphic designer or something, those guys really know their stuff.
