Merchandising aside, she seems to enjoy the process of making this stuff for its own sake.  Having exhausted her supply of material to merchandise, she&#8217;s decided to set up a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zazzle.com\/Shamusyoung*\">DMotR store<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<p><!--more-->I&#8217;ve been meaning to do something like this for a long time.  People keep saying &#8220;I&#8217;d buy that on a T-shirt&#8221; and I keep thinking &#8220;I really ought to get around to that&#8221;.  She cruised through the comic archives and looked in the comments for popular quotes, and made them available on whatever knicknacks they have over there.  <\/p>\n<p>If you have a favorite quote that you don&#8217;t see in the store, or you want to request something a little different, please drop a comment below.  Heather will be reading this I&#8217;m sure, and looking for an excuse to make more stuff.  Alas, we can&#8217;t put images from the comics themselves onto t-shirts.   You know how it is.<\/p>\n<p>Another reason to like Zazzle:  They generate cool little things like the ad below, which makes it a lot easier to show off what you&#8217;ve got. <\/p>\n<p><center><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.zazzle.com\/assets\/swf\/zp\/zp.swf?st=POPULARITY&#038;tl=Shamusyoung%27s+Gallery+at+Zazzle&#038;ch=Shamusyoung&#038;at=238387587997450763\" FlashVars=\"path=http:\/\/www.zazzle.com\/assets\/swf\/zp\/skins\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" wmode=\"transparent\" TYPE=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\"><\/embed> <\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My wife has discovered Zazzle, a site along the lines of CafePress.
