I return with another question for the comic folks who travel for conventions, if i were to table at thought bubble does anybody have tips for traveling from the US to the UK with merch to sell?

Ah yes it is in inches, it shows the length and width of the shirt laid flat so you could compare to a shirt you know fits well. They have a nice boxy Fit that I'd say is pretty standard so going with your usual size is a safe bet!

Do any of my comic mutuals on here have any tips for traveling to Toronto from the US for TCAF? I'm excited to attend but it would be my first international convention and the logistics and legality of bringing stickers, prints, and books with me is going over my head 😮‍💨
