Talkin’ Business
I don’t generally like talking about things before they happen, because it’s all vaporous. It’s not concrete. So, just know that we’re talking in theoreticals here. But Aric and I have some merchandise in the works, either based on year-one events from Blank It, or things we thought were funny otherwise. We have a few curveballs, so hopefully we’ll delight you when we get a shop online. Start counting your pennies.
The shop will be critical when we make good on the Threat, since the comic already takes up a lot of our time even at twice a week. So once it goes to three, the show has to start growing into its own and compensating for its costs. We have faith it’ll all work out, or else we wouldn’t pursue it. How’s that for optimism!
Speaking of the Threat, Aric and I looked over the last two months of numbers, and even by the most conservative accounts, we’ve definitely cleared the 1,500 reader mark. There’s a degree of anticipation and anxiety that’s coming with all this. It’ll be interesting to see Blank It grow. Let’s hope I don’t lose my drawing hand in a freak shovel beam accident.

or fireworks, y’know.. cause those are coming up.
and so is my birthday!!! ^-^;
Just thought I’d throw that in there ;)
I can’t say that I can’t wait for the merch (because I obviously have to) but I’m rather excited to see what goodies you’ve got.

Any clues on what the merchandise is? Official Blank It lunchboxes, blankets, t-shirts, bedpans, radiation shields, and third-person shooter video game?
