This strip first appeared in issue #229 of Linux (Pro) Magazine, and is the second in a trilogy of strips following Elvie’s efforts to make some money by selling some geeky merchandise. In a change from our usual panel layout and style, this strip showcases some of her designs, rather than focusing on a single narrative joke.

Hi! I discovered this comic recently and then wanted that “Web developers do it with style (and class)” shirt so much that I ordered [a custom print of the shirt](https://mincerafter42.github.io/assets/2021015.jpg)! (License info is on the shirt, out of frame.)
That’s great! I secretly hoped someone would like at least one of the T-shirt designs enough to actually want to wear it. Would you mind if I shared the picture on our social media accounts?
(P.S. Sorry I’ve only just spotted your comment, it got caught up in an influx of spam)
