Today is Cephalopodmas, but there’s too much to do for that other Capital C holiday that’s just around the corner to post much this week.
The Santa Squid was designed by Adam “Apelad” Koford and the shirt is offered by greyaenigma. It is available in a variety of colors and styles starting at $12.95. Buy it now from Zazzle.com.
Have a squelchy Squidmas and a tentacular New Year!
While this shirt isn’t Christmas-themed per se, to many people the impending holidays instills a feeling not unlike the sensation of being charged by a Giant Squid and a Grizzly Bear on a bicycle.
Raptor Bandit Industries is the merchandise arm of The Adventures of Dr McNinja webcomic, and is part of the TopatoCo family of independent creators.
The shirt is $18.50 and is available in men’s and women’s sizes.
I really should have included this in last week’s Holiday Shopping Guide, so consider this an addendum. This three-button polo features the by-now-familiar Gama-Go Giant Squid and is available in Black, Navy, and Khaki. It originally retailed for $32, but it is currently on sale for a mere $12 USD!!! My guess is that this sale will probably last until they are sold out…so what are you waiting for?? Buy from Gama-Go.com.
Today’s edition of the Shopping Guide focuses on cephalopod-themed clothing, but first, here’s our regularly scheduled installment of T-shirt Tuesday…
Sir Octopus
Brand new from Sir Critter (who previously brought us Sir Squid), is this dapper fellow. He’s all dressed up and ready for your office Christmas party!
Shirts start at $15.99, are available in a rainbow of color combinations, and did I mention the octopus with a moustache wearing a bow tie and flourishing a top hat? Also, there’s just two days left of their big Cyber Monday sale! All orders over $40 are 25% off.
Buy it now from SirCritter.com
Art Is My Weapon and Loch Ness Imposter are back in stock!
Both are currently on sale for $12 each (all sizes and styles).
As we know, Threadless designs sell out fast, particularly when they’re on sale, so act fast!
I’ve already featured several different Squidfire designs, but I’ve barely scratched the surface of their vast selection of cephalopod shirts. They are all currently on sale (and all in stock, as far as I can tell), so any of them would be appropriate for this list. For example, here’s the SquidFire Emblem polo. It normally costs $32, but it’s temporarily reduced in price to $27. Buy it now from Squidfire.com.
The Squidfire emblem is also available on regular T-shirts (both men’s and women’s), long-sleeved thermal shirts (men’s and women’s), and hoodies.
Clicky the Pixel Squid
Diesel Sweeties is a webcomic by R. Stevens about robots, music, and geek love. Looking for clever, ironic, and/or pixilated gift ideas? Then check out the Diesel Sweeties Store! These women’s knee socks—produced in cahoots with Sock It To Me of Portland, OR—feature an entire school of adorable cyclopian squid and are only $6.99 a pair!
The Etsy community seems to be a nigh-unlimited source of hand-made cephalopod products, but for the purposes of rounding out tonight’s list, I’m going to narrow things down to neck ties only. Let’s begin with a rather familiar looking design…

Sucker! by toybreaker ($30)
Octopus by jesswitaj ($30)
White Octopus by satisfactory ($28)
Polka Dot Squid by makbeauty ($30)

It is not entirely clear to me what’s going on here. Is this octopus being attacked, or is it doing that attacking…with javelins? Maybe the octopus is actually trying to slash its way out of the shirt? It’s hard to say, but one thing I know for sure is that it is very dynamic and exciting!
This shirt is $20 USD and appears to be currently in stock in all men’s and womens’s sizes.
"Because we know that in his house at R'lyeh dead Cthulhu waits dreaming."
I’m still in an eldritch sort of mood after yesterday’s post about Lil’ Cthulhu, so for today’s T-shirt Tuesday here is another cuddly take on the sleepiest Elder God.
Teach The Controversy is a division of Amorphia Apparel (just like the previously featured Sir Critter). Riffing off of the Discovery Institute’s campaign to promote Intelligent Design, Teach The Controversy has a T-shirt for just about any crackpot theory you can think of—Atlantis, Reptoids, Time Cube, Young Earth, 2012, and much more!
Like all Amorphia shirts, “Cthulhu” is available in a variety of styles and color combinations. The basic tee is $15.99, and for a little bit more you can get it as an American Apparel shirt, as well as a hoodie or a messenger bag.
I couldn’t find anything Action Figure-themed for this week’s T-shirt Tuesday, so I figured I should post the final squid shirt from the current Gama-Go season. “Geisha Tentacles” is exactly what it sound like, a Japanese geisha “hanging out” with some squid tentacles. I’m sure they are just very good friends.
This shirt is $28 and is available in Olive and Light Blue.
Here’s another shirt from Gama-Go, this one depicting the classic “squid attacks sailing ship” motif. The last Gama-Go shirt I mentioned here, Sutro Squid, has already been discontinued, so who knows how long this one will be around! Also, like “Sutro,” this shirt is also being modeled by “Headband Guy.” Different shirt…SAME headband!
The shirt is $28 and available in both Navy and Grass.
It’s an octopus with a human skull for a body! I’m not sure what else needs to be (or can be) said.
Available as men’s, women’s, and kid’s tees in various shades of green ($15.99-$18.99).
design by Matheus Lopes and Emerson Rauth
Continuing the “octopus as artist” theme from yesterday’s post, this shirt is part of the Threadless Halloween Sale, and it’s going fast!
Buy on Threadless…just $10 while supplies last!
UPDATE: While the shirt is still in stock in a few sizes at this time, the Halloween Sale is already over, and the price is back up to $20.
