Dear CafePress and its many competitors,
Please provide a URL interface. This would allow me to sell products bearing images that I make available from my website, without having to go through the tedious process of using your shopfront. I would create a link like
http://www.cafepress.com/offsite.php?image=www.farbs.org/screenshot309485203497.png
which directs people to your shopfront. There they would browse merchandise featuring the image www.farbs.org/screenshot309485203497.png. You could even create a little icon for this, much like the Tweet This, Facebook Share and Digg icons that have invaded the blogosphere. With this simple system I could offer prints of people’s favourite Captain Forever moments, PlayPen pages, or weird digital art created using their webcam. Webcomics could sell copies of every strip, and photoblogs could sell every image. What’s more, since you already have the infrastructure in place it would be incredibly easy to implement. The internet wants this. You want this. Please, someone, make this happen.
<3 Farbs
PS: Does this exist already? I haven’t been able to find it.

Not what you want.
I know its off Topic, But have you considered an CF-S-I webcomic, to flesh out the story and what not. Also it could keep people interested during the dev periods…
I’d think about it, but honestly the story stuff takes much longer than I had expected. I figure my time is better spent making the eps and getting them out. Thx for the idea though!
@Andrew — Good god that is not me I better come up with a new username =(
