Speaking of, I found SplitReason because it's the store a webcomic I read, Real
Life Comics <http://www.reallifecomics.com>, uses to sell their shirts.
Most of the webcomics I read have some sort of t-shirt selling practice in
place, it might be in our interest to look at the ones we collectively read
to see how thier solutions stack up against each other and find out how we
can get through the door on them.
