Our pal Rob Walker says:

Once upon a time, designer/artist Shawn Wolfe conjectured an imaginary product, backed by a vigorous ersatz ad campaign: The RemoverInstaller™. More recently, in a special arrangement that (disclosure!) I was involved in, a limited number of RemoverInstaller™s were 3D-printed on a MakerBot Replicator for a show at apexart in New York.

And now a limited number, with Shawn's amazing packaging, are for sale ... and so reasonably priced!

Snap 'em up.

Shawn did a bunch of great illustrations for bOING bOING and the Happy Mutant Handbook.

    I am in Los Angeles.  Does somebody know who I could talk to about making some limited edition packaging like this?

    Discontinue use of RemoverInstaller if any of the following occurs:
    itching
    vertigo
    dizziness
    tingling in extremities
    loss of balance or coordination
    slurred speech
    temporary blindness
    profuse sweating
    heart palpitations

    If RemoverInstaller begins to smoke, get away immediately. Seek shelter and cover head. RemoverInstaller may stick to certain types of skin.

    When not in use, RemoverInstaller should be returned to its special container and kept under refrigeration. Failure to do so relieves the makers of RemoverInstaller  Wacky Products Incorporated, and its parent company, Global Chemical Unlimited, of any and all liability.

      Do not taunt RemoverInstaller.

    There’s like a million brands of these, but why can’t I find a single decent Installer Remover?

    That’s great, but what I really need is an InstallerRemover.

    I can vouch for this product.  I first bought one of their competitor’s products.  It broke and nearly decapitated the dog on the third use!
