	That's a bit annoying. Considering that I make tee shirts for people myself for a fairly low price, I definitely can relate to his getting upset that he's doing it because it's helping pay the bills for running his comic. Mine only helps pay for the printing paper and buying the tee shirts. SO. People. Are. Stupid. -_-; (Reply to this)

	Uhm, did people miss the point where the original OP said he was a motherfucker? Cause obviously if he calls himself one, calling him a fucker over and over will do such damage to his self-esteem. Really. That said, bootlegging is stupid. Not only do you get a half-assed shirt, but everyone else that sees you wearing it will usually be smart enough to buy the better version. (Reply to this)

	I have no problem with making my own t-shirts for myself to wear and not sell, however I dispise people who sell work, for profit or no, using other people's designs without permission. Besides, the stencil sucks. Anti-aliasing, dickweed. (Reply to this)

Nearly entirely unrelated to the discussion at hand, I'll just take a moment to poke at the idea presented here that art done by hand is more legitimate than art that relies on Photoshop.

. . . yeah. 'Cause it's not about how the final product looks or anything--nah, it's all about doing things in a Legitimate manner, and staying up 'til the wee hours to do so.

I kind of have to wonder if this is related to the Tortured Soul of an Artist or anything.

	I kept reading your icon as "Orly" and going, "Isn't the correct way of spellig it Orli?" and then I realised... It's not discussing Orlando Bloom. ... I am such a Tolkien geek. I now have seen the movies so many times that I am seeing everything as LotR. wince Still a hilarious icon. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	All of those people who are bitching that you can't buy clothes for less than $5 don't know how to shop. There is this nifty little thing called a thrift store... (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Thrift stores? Shit, just hit the big dealers during seasonal clearance sales. You'll pick up half a wardrobe for less than $100. It's a college student's dream. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Not in my size, you won't. Big dealers discriminate against men's Small. The only way you get that shit is if you hit the racks at the beginning of the season and pay twice the price. D: (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	True, true. It works that way, as well, if you're at a popular size (which I and the rest of American women apparently are). Still, the point stands that your average individual can find deals almost anywhere if they search properly. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Re: I used to work in one, and will never have to buy any clothing ever again. redjackcash 2005-10-11 09:01 pm UTC (link)
	Exactly. Just a little bit of planning and craftiness can get you tons of nice clothes for cheap... (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Yet if you live near the right thriftstore, you can pick up your entire wardrobe for under $100. I adore thrifting. Seriously, the high point of my 2+ years of college? Next week they're (finally) opening a Salvation Army here. I now have a place to blow my paycheck every week. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I'm not saying thrifting is bad at all. ^^;; If I lived near a decent one that had more in my size, I'd visit it more often. But even going to big dealers, you can get decent deals as long as you plan correctly. (Reply to this)(Parent)
