Designer of the shirt is Chris Ware, the Eisner Award-winning graphic novelist and cartoonist behind the "Acme Novelty Library" series and a frequent art contributor to 826 co-founder Dave Eggers' McSweeney's publishing house. The T-shirt will feature the robot from his graphic novel "Jimmy Corrigan: 'The Smartest Kid on Earth,'" though the actual design remains secret until available for purchase.
The shirt goes on sale at Shirt.Woot! at 12 midnight Central/1 a.m. Eastern on Wednesday. (Get it? 8/26.) If the shirt doesn't sell out during Wednesday, it will be available at The Shirt.Woot! Back Catalog but will cost $15 (including shipping).
