Introducing the SICKO MERCH STORE!

Check it out at animesickos.com/store!

Hey Sicko fans! This edition of the newsletter will do what few ever have: actually be about news!

It is with great pride and delight that we are announcing SICKO MERCH that you can purchase today from our SICKO STORE!!!!

Simply go to animesickos.com/store (that’s animesickos.com/store, once more for confirmation let me reiterate that it’s animesickos.com/store) and YOU can check out sicko merch that is frankly disgustingly good.

We have two sticker packs for sale, each with seven high-quality vinyl stickers with truly incredible original artwork pulling from each of the four pillars. One pack features art from the great John Keogh (lucid-tv.com, twitter.com/tomselleck69) 

Meanwhile, the other pack features art from the peerless Rayne Klar (twitter.com/smallsmallwitch).

I just want to editorialize for a bit here—I fucking love how this podcast’s themes and concepts are so strong and clear that we can commission a ton of original art that barely even references that the stickers are from a podcast. To me this is ideal. A lot of merch basically requires the viewer to already be a fan of the thing in order to appreciate it at all. It speaks to the strength of the show that work inspired by its themes can result in universally enjoyable designs. Plus, some of the stickers say “dick snucked” which is very funny.

As if that weren’t enough, we are also accepting pre-orders for an ANIME SICKOS T-SHIRT with ORIGINAL ART BY KC GREEN

This t-shirt fucking owns, buds. It will be printed on an actual good shirt that will be pleasant to wear (fuck Gildan, all my homies hate Gildan) and has a VERY CUTE piggy who LOVES the slop and is VERY obedient and does NOT notice the impossibly cruel infrastructure of death that surrounds him!

If you are interested in this shirt (why would you not be) please put in a pre-order soon! We are going to have pre-orders open for at least two weeks and the amount we receive is how we will decide how many shirts we’re going to have printed. We don’t want to end up with way too few or way too many so these pre-order numbers are crucial.

One thing to note is that these items we’re selling (“tokens,” if you will) are fungible as hell. We actually made an effort to make them extra fungible—as fungible as possible, really. Any one of these things is exactly the same as any other. You could shove your hand into a barrel of them and it wouldn’t matter which one you pulled out. Really astonishing levels of fungibility.

To review, that’s TWO STICKER PACKS and ONE T-SHIRT for sale at animesickos.com/store! Once again, for your records, please note that it’s animesickos.com/store. If your friends ask about it, be sure to tell them it’s animesickos.com/store.

We could not have done any of this without the expert hand of Sara McHenry guiding the merch ship. Sara is a fulfillment genius who made this entire process seamless, painless, and effective. If anyone out there needs to do merch, or run a Kickstarter, or plan a creative project, we cannot emphasize enough how much you should hire Sara (www.saramchenry.com, twitter.com/yellowcardigan).

It occurs to me that this merch-producing process is, in its own way, a Secret Project. Be aware though that it is NOT the big Secret Project (almost finished, not quite though, but very close) nor is it the smaller Secret Project (only needs Joe to contribute the final bit, but he had surgery recently and also has Joe’s Brain so it’s taking a while). Those both will blow your minds and warrant their own newsletters.

Anyway, if I had to sum up this newsletter, I’d have to say animesickos.com/store animesickos.com/store animesickos.com/store animesickos.com/store animesickos.com/store animesickos.com/store animesickos.com/store animesickos.com/store animesickos.com/store animesickos.com/store animesickos.com/store animesickos.com/store animesickos.com/store animesickos.com/store animesickos.com/store animesickos.com/store animesickos.com/store animesickos.com/store animesickos.com/store animesickos.com/store animesickos.com/store animesickos.com/store animesickos.com/store animesickos.com/store animesickos.com/store animesickos.com/store animesickos.com/store animesickos.com/store animesickos.com/store animesickos.com/store animesickos.com/store animesickos.com/store animesickos.com/store animesickos.com/store
