You thought I was going to let it go, didn’t you? Nope. I’m as tenacious as a pit bull and this Renee Zellweger/Bridget Jones malarkey has me growlin’ mad!

Not really. I just had another zinger in my head left over from Monday and wanted to try it in another comic. Hey, any opportunity you get to zing Chris Tucker, you should take! Am I right?

Well, kids. All the hoodies, t-shirts and baby doll shirts have been sent out. I dropped them in the mail early this week and they should be making their way to you soon. I know it’s taken a long time to get them to you. For some of you, a little more than a month, so I appreciate your patience.

I was very pleased with the outpouring of interest in this shirt. But the one thing that disappointed me was not being to get them to you faster! Being a one-man operation and not having the money to buy a bunch of shirts up front means I didn’t have shirts at my house, ready to mail when the orders came in. Not like I have the space to store all the items, but I think you get the sense of things.

I felt by offering the variety of colors and styles that I did, that would offset the long wait. I wouldn’t have been able to offer an extra large eggplant t-shirt to that one guy out west if I had purchased 100 black tees ahead of time. Many thanks to Brunetto Shirts for being extra flexible and exceptionally cool. I appreciate your hard work, guys!

That said, I’ll probably scale back some of the variety for the second printing. Truth be told, there were some colors that didn’t sell and some that sold barely any. So there are going to be some of you out there who are the proud owners of a LIMITED EDITION Spoiler shirt! It’ll never be seen in that color again.

All the ladies who ordered baby dolls should feel equally as lucky, because I don’t think I’ll offer the design for that style again, either. Don’t worry, though. I have a replacement for all the baby doll fans. A design exclusive to that style of shirt. Won’t the boys be jealous?!

Expect some big changes to the site over the weekend. Yeah, yeah. I know I’ve made those promises before. But this time I’m actually setting aside some time to really make things fly. I’m taking a personal day off from work on Friday, but getting up at the butt-crack of dawn and acting like I’m on the clock anyway. Except this time, instead of working for “The Man”, I’ll be working for you! Updating the store to offer new tees, getting the posters page back online as well as adding a NEW page offering original commissioned artwork to all the boys and girls (who have the scratch to pay for it!) It’s going to be great.

I’m also going to bring all of the Bonus Material pages up to speed and redesign them in CSS so they match the rest of the site. Reviews, guest strips, fan art – they’ll all get a new coat of paint. Who knows. I might even add a LIVE CAM along with the static web cam archive so you guys can watch me work on the strip Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday nights!

Oh, by the way. If you have a web cam of your own and are interested in joining the Theater Hopper web cam portal, all you have to do is sign up for an account in the THorum and fill in the field in your profile with a link to your cam image. It’s deceptively simple and really fun.

Anyway, enough jibber-jabber. I guess I’m just really excited for all of the changes. Hopefully we’re entering the next era of Theater Hopper’s evolution and I can continue to make the site a content-rich experience for everyone.

I appreciate your support! Thanks, guys!
