It's the comic book industry. From the outside in.

Imagine a Hollywood run not by movie studios, but by comic book publishers. Here, superheroes are the biggest celebrities, and everyone is trying to get published.

This is the story of Toupydoops, kindergarten teacher and aspiring comic book character.

Join Toupy, along with his best friend Teetereater, as they navigate through adventures in life, love, and comic book showbiz in their attempt to find a place where they truly belong.

You're Gonna Need a Bigger Boat

You know how it is: you’re out sailing with the fellas, throwing chum into the water, cracking wise with each other, when suddenly you realize the task in front of you was bigger than any of you imagined. You’re frightened. You’re scared. You don’t know how you’re going to overcome it, but one thing’s for sure:

You’re Gonna Need a Bigger Boat.

Celebrate this iconic moment of pants-staining realization from Steven Spielberg’s 1975 classic “Jaws” with this Limited Edition Toupydoops “You’re Gonna Need A Bigger Boat.” print.

Printed on high-quality, glossy paper, this all-new 12“x16” print is ready for framing and mounting anywhere you’ve bitten off more than you can chew.
