TopatoCo: What's It All About

PHOTOS FACEBOOK GROUP

TopatoCo is a company started in Oklahoma by maverick cowboy cyber cartoonist Jeffrey Rowland, who has been making internet comics since 1999. In about 2003 to he created TopatoCo to legitimize the sale of merchandise related to his internet webcomics. Soon he became addicted to putting labels on things and handing them to the post office lady.

One day he got fired from his job so he talked with some of his internet cartoonist friends and said "hey I can ship your things for you if you pay me" and his friends decided to give it a shot. This was working fine for a while but then it started getting confusing and the entire process was all discombobulated because while all the t-shirts and stuff were being shipped out of the same big room, all the stores were on separate websites.

In December 2007 Jeffrey asked all his shipping friends if they wanted to put all of their stuff on one site where people could shop for everything and save money by mixing and matching orders with everybody else! Jeffrey's friends said, "okay let's give it a shot." And that's basically how we got to where we are today.

Nowadays, TopatoCo is in Easthampton, Massachussetts, and we try to damage the planet as little as possible. When you order things from us, we try our best to use as little packaging material as possible and just about everything is recyclable. We realize that in the grand scheme of things these efforts are kind of pointless but it's a nice start.

TopatoCo is named after the character Topato Potato who is a magical potato who lives in space and is best friends with a pony.

You can see some of the people who work at TopatoCo in action at Jeffrey Rowland's journal comic, Overcompensating. There are cusses on Overcompensating so don't go there unless you're old enough to know about cussing.
