Usagi t-shirts?

Is there anywhere I can get Usagi t-shirts?

If not, would Stan be interested in making some? Cafepress.com or something like that would be fine, but I want some t-shirts!

There are three Usagi Yojimbo t-shirts up for sale right now on ebay. I can not say for certain whether or not they are "officially authorized" since they are all new designs to me, but there have been quite a few shirts done over the years.

As of right now, there is 1 day 15 hours left on the auction:
7-day listing, Ends Jul-12-05 11:23:21 PDT
One shirt (lightly worn) is $9.99 - current bid, the other two (new, never worn) are currently $14.99 - current bid
Check them out if you are interested. There is at least one ebay store which still carries the two most recent Dark Horse Comics released Usagi Yojimbo t-shirts.

I have a friend who took a copy of a "Boris the Bear" comic to a silk screen print shop and had a single t-shirt made from the cover art for a birthday present. As long as it is for personal use and not produced with the intent to sell or distribute, you could feasably design your own t-shirt and have it printed for close to the same price as an officially released t-shirt. Of course, it would be the polite thing to ask Stan Sakai for his permission first.

I would love to have a t-shirt with this image on it:

Abayo...
(Hope everyone going to Comic con International in San Diego has fun!)

I found a box of old t-shirts (circa 1987) that I will remainder off at San Diego for $10 each. They are in limited quantities, with limited sizes. It's a color image Usagi and two tokage on a peach-colored Beefy-T shirt.

Well, those will definitely go fast!

I wish I still had my S.D. Comic-Com volunteers' t-shirt that had Usagi on it, but I wore it to death-- and it probably wouldn't fit anymore anyway!
