The Official "WTF MERCH!" Thread
luralee:
You might try twitter, I don't think Jeph pays too much attention to the WTF merch thread anymore.
Personally I wish Jeph would clear up the backlog of old orders before developing new merchandise. However, I don't think he has too much incentive to honor his old obligations, since he is not worried about losing future sales through Topatoco.

Me also... I figured he wouldn't put it as one of the options, but a "free text" box to do some good old bitching and complaining would've suited me down to the ground! Although if it had been an option then we might've had some indication of the extent of the issue (and how many any unsatisfied customers Jeph has seemingly left behind in a distant past than he has long forgotten about)
This weekend marked 7 months since I made my order and, after delight at receiving an e-mail response and (false) promises of a prompt delivery, I am still bitterly disappointed.
On the whole "it's only $25" argument.... I have to say that I think this is a completely moot point as not everyone values money in the same way. For me that's almost 3 hours work and since I'm a student working part time the hours / money isn't exactly coming flowing in! I wouldn't even normally spend this amount of money on a t-shirt (say, for example, at a high street store), but I like the comic, I like the t-shirts and I thought I'd show Jeph some support. Now I wish I'd gone to a high street store - at least I'd have a t-shirt to show for my money then!
Obviously, aside from the "is this a lot of money... maybe not for me, but maybe for you", there's the whole principle of the matter, which applies no matter how much the sum of money in question might be. The customers support the comic and provide Jeph with an income, but he has indeed violated the trust of many of these customers. Also - it might only be $25 to me / you, but just imagine how much Jeph's gaining if there are even as little as 20 people he's ripping off!
Ciao!

Understatement of the year, ladies and gentlemen.

We need to get a mob together and boycott outside of his house until we get either shirts or money...WHOS WITH ME!!! :police: :police:

I'd be with you, but I fear the plane fare would be ever so much more than the cost of the shirts I paid for. Anybody in the area available to walk the picket line, for a small fee? Oh, wait, that would not be cost-effective either. Curses on my poverty!
