Get your reddit AND xkcd merch all in the same place

We still remember back when xkcd was "just another webcomic" and it first made an appearance on reddit.

Seriously, we even dug into our database to find the first submission of xkcd.com. Turns out it was spez on October 1st, 2005.

Here we are over three years later and xkcd has ascended to its rightful place in geek culture (some sort of demigod status once reserved for the likes of Hercules). So when it came time to consider new vendors for selling our reddit merch, guess who was high on the list. They certainly had the distribution experience. Plus, the alien has always had a bit of a crush on them.

So we're proud to announce that reddit shirts are now for sale on the xkcd store*. The first shirt for sale is our most popular design to date (modeled by a long-time redditor, rocket scientist, and bad mofo, as the sunglasses would suggest). Buy the 8-bit reddit alien shirt and you'll not only be supporting reddit, but also xkcd -- oh, and you'll be looking super fab, too.


*Yes, you can also still get our Freedom from the Press shirts at StartupSchwag. And there are still a few laggards for sale at ye olde reddit store.
