We’ve mentioned T-Post before – it’s the magazine that comes in the form of a t-shirt. The September Issue was interesting, but ugly.

I just received the December 2007 issue, and I like it a lot more. This issue’s story is about babies getting switched in the hospital and raised by separate families for the first few months of their lives. When the families find out, they have a terrible choice to make. Rich material, to be sure.

I also noticed that they’re now packaging the shirt inside-out, so you read the story before seeing the art on the front of the shirt. I think this is a great idea, as it sets the context for the shirt.

I love the art on the shirt this issue. I’m not sure what it has to do with the story, but at least this is one I’d wear.

T-Post comes six times a year, contains one story and one illustration per issue, and is printed on cotton. That’s right, T-Post is a magazine in the form of a t-shirt.

I just received the September issue, pictured above. The story, printed on the inside of the shirt, is about companies turning away from the murderous necktie (clever, for a t-shirt magazine). Unfortunately, the illustration looks like my 3 year-old nephew did it. (No, that’s not fair. Hugh’s work is much more nuanced.)

In the end, T-Post may be the kind of thing that looks good on my coffee table, but I don’t actually enjoy using. Kinda like the New Yorker.
