Dale's shirt
Is it cold in here?:
Jeph just said on Twitter that the shirts are going to happen.

For curiosity's sake, b/c googling is *slightly* too hard to figure it out exactly... what's the reference/humor exactly? I'm gathering it's from *Neon Genesis Evangelion* -- more info?

Shinji has nothing else. :-D

--- Quote from: Method of Madness on 03 Apr 2011, 11:30 ---Forgive me if I'm ridiculously out of line, but if the shirt just involves a clever line, would it be any sort of copyright infringement to make it yourself? I'm not suggesting selling them yourself, but just to go to one of those custom t-shirt sites, find the right font and color, and going to town.

Not sure how relevant this is but as a gift for my boyfriend I got him a T-shirt with a quote from Cabin Fever by making it on a custom shirt site. I don't think there should be any issue if it's just a vague line. It'd be different if you were using an image like a drawing from a comic or still from a film.
DSL:
I suppose, from a strictly bottom line standpoint (EDIT: and questions of right or wrong aside), it depends on whether a custom shirt shop can give you what you want cheaper than Topatoco can. And maybe there is, or isn't, a copyright issue here. But QC merch, I'm given to understand, is a significant part of how Jeph supports himself and his wife, and discussing how to circumvent it -- on a forum he sponsors -- is a pretty shitty move.
-- AMENDED to disambiguate my opinion.
