Mature Apparel

Hey, everyone!  Yes, we’re still in business and, yes, we’re still printing.  We’re currently experiencing technical difficulties, however.  This would explain why our logo is still wearing that stupid li’l Santa hat.

We’ve been taking orders for some local bands recently.  We’re working things out with a few of them (advertising and such) and will be posting links to their sites.  One band we can tell you about is Tonight Tonight.  They’re a local DFW band.  You should definitely check them out.  Very original and memorable!  You can link to their MySpace page here:

PLEASE NOTE!!!  All orders that are made after this post will be shipped on January 2nd.  We have had an unexpected emergency that requires us to shut down production during the holiday season.  We greatly appreciate your understanding during this time.  SORRY!

I’ve spent the last couple of days working on our designs and the new store!  That’s right, Bad Apple Shirts finally has an integrated store!  Nothing fancy, but it gets the job done.  Expect to see a few changes around here over the next few days, but nothing major; just colour and font type/size and the like.  I’ve added the 5 favourite shirts as determined by ordering trends from our CafePress shop.  These shirts are 100% silk screened on-site and shipped directly from us to you!  So  you have a much higher quality product for a smaller price.  Plus, you get the added protection of PayPal to secure your transactions!  You can’t get it much better than that!  More shirt designs will be added to the silk screen selection soon!  Let us know what you’d like to see here!

Don’t forget to check us out on MySpace, too!  Add us to your buddy list!  Subscribe to our blog!  Every month we will select one subscriber to receive a free t-shirt from our store!  Two, if they’ve added us to their top friends!

Seriously! Can you believe it?! Someone tried to wipe A Comic Shop off the map! Well, not entirely, but at least off of MySpace. ::poof:: They were gone! Just randomly deleted. It’s almost as if someone’s out to get them. Almost like… waitaminute… First the break-in… now the MySpace page… Methinks the Skrulls are pulling out all the stops to take out A Comic Shop! Maybe Tom is a Skrull! ::gasp:: While I look into this, why don’t you head over to A Comic Shop’s new page and show them some love. Be their friend. Even if you live on the West Coast (yay!), they’re a friendly lot. Here’s the info:

Add “A Comic Shop’s” MySpace Page

Their last Profile was deleted.

And, yes, we’re still loyal fans of Keith’s Comics. Maybe if they’d update their MySpace page at least once a year we’d whore them out, too. If you’re in the DFW area, we HIGHLY recommend that you check out thier stores. They have five of them. Great stuff! Awesome staff! Except Chris. Chris is a punk. But I think that’s why they have him. They need one punk on staff for the EOE regulations or whatever. But Chris will take care of ya in his own special way. Go to Keith’s and bug them to get on the ball with their MySpace and buy a bunch of their stuff!

With all the excitement buzzing in the air here at Bad Apple Shirts, you’d think we were at a summertime mosquito farm!  Luckily for us we didn’t eat the bananas.  We’ve finally come out of the Dark Ages and purchased a silk screen for our shop!  No more printing shirts by hand for us!  We’ve just received a 4-colour press from the fine people at Ryonet.  There was a glitch in the order, so we’re still waiting on a new bolt for our platen, but once it arrives, we’ve got shirts to do!  We’ll also be printing up some sample shirts to send out for free ($5 for shipping) for organizations that wish to consider us to fulfill their t-shirt needs.  Stay tuned for updates.

With Halloween just around the corner, it’s no wonder we’d be talking about Zombies.  We think you’ll like the comic strip Ted & Zed by Mac L. Pirata.  Here’s a quick bio of Ted and Zed:

“Meet Ted and his zombie buddy Zed.  They go way back.  When Zed isn’t trying to eat Ted, they enjoy normal bachelor activities: Hanging out, playing video games, and doing a horrible job of picking up chicks.  Follow our odd-couple as they do what they do.”

You can find Mac and his work on MySpace as well as HyperComics.
