I saw a guy at University and Sacramento in Berkeley on a bike wearing a Special Boy shirt, and a hipster-looking young lady at Bimbo's for a They Might Be Giants show wearing the Science shirt. I was sporting Achewater at the time, but I think it just embarassed her so I just chuckled and moved on.

damn, I need some hipster-looking ladies around here to like Achewood.

also: I need an achewood shirt. I am yet to buy one. I might buy one over the summer, when I buy a poster for my new room.

Were you at U.Va. at the time? 'Cause I saw a guy wearing a Special Boy hoodie about three years ago. I might have even made a comment.

It might shed light on the Charlottesville connection, 'cause I've got a few friends down here who really like it.

I was indeed in C-ville. I was at the Pav eating crappy pizza. We were there for the film festival when the theme was $. According to vafilm.com that places this at fall 2003.

It SO is.

In other news, my little brother ordered me a bunny ambulance shirt on the twentieth, and it still has not arrived. WHERE IS IT, MR. ONSTAD.

The great thing about the 'what we need more of..' shirt is that people who don't even know of achewood seem to appreciate it.  People have said to me, "that's true!!" and such

I've had that happen, too.

A few years ago on a college campus in California I saw a guy with a "It is impossible to have a good day" shirt (Did I get that right? Since the shirt's no longer available I can't remember). We talked for a minute about Achewood, which he pronounced "H-wood".

That's it, though. I've never had anyone recognize my Science shirt. I've seen a few other webcomic shirts around (Diesel Sweeties, Exploding Dog, what I think was a Penny Arcade garment), but that is all.

Obviously Onstad must be doing well, though. I say this because I can't imagine any scenerio where one's wife had a baby, and she was still cool with her husband spending many hours each day drawing profane cats, if he wasn't making a decent living off of it.

Amusingly, this once happened to me with my Rene-Magritte-homage Wigu shirt, with Topato and "Ceci n'est pas une potato." A cheerful old lady commented that, indeed, that certainly wasn't a potato; obviously it was some kind of duck.
