Non-Team Tees
So, we’ve added a t-shirt store through Spreadshirt, to sell clothes inspired by the various series here (hence why it’s Non-Team Tees, not Roplusmo Tees or something). It’s the Non-Team Tees link up above.
I hope you’ll buy some, wear them, impress members of the opposite sex, turn them onto the strips here, maybe get married eventually and send me an absolutely lovely email explaining how our shirts got you laid forever.
If you do (buy the shirts, not get laid forever), please send in pics, we’ll totally run them here.

Question: what does “non-team” mean?
It’s me being obtusely cheeky, like I do sometimes.
“Team Comics” is this phrase that gets tossed around to indicate everyone in comics is special buddies and supports each other. I don’t buy into that even a little, but obviously I work with other creators…so Non-Team Comics is me saying “we are not a scene, we’re just doing comics”.
(On a nerd front, I got the phrase from the old Defenders comics, where they weren’t so much a team-team as a bunch of powerful weirdos hanging out in Dr. Strange’s house. I love the guys I work with, but it’s a really loose crew, and it’s a lot closer to the Defenders set up than any kind of “Artists…Assemble!” thing.)
So though “Ro+Mo” is the name of your website, you don’t consider it a BRANDING? It’s more like the THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE of your SHINING TIME STATION?
(the fact that THOMAS AND FRIENDS is NOW the brand-name notwithstanding… my pop culture similes have their heads buried in 1990′s sand.)
Sorta. R+M’s the comic, Robot+Monster is the hub/publisher. Kind of a reverse DC Comics/Detective Comics thing.
And then “Non-Team Comics” is just kind of a nickname/tagline (sort of like how World’s Greatest Comic Magazine is for Fantastic Four).
