2 Broke Yoopers
A small Upper Peninsula company making Yooper humor, books, shirts, printables, videos, games, and odd little internet things for people who like something different. We’re building this one piece at a time.
About UsWe're Wendy and Mike, and we're broke but not broken. A true Yooper never gives up, except maybe after three Thanksgiving helpings.2BY is Yooper-all-the-way. We specialize in merchandise such as t-shirts, mugs, and others we grace with our creative designs. But we have so much more ready to be released or clawing inside our noggins to get out.Stay with us. We pride ourselves on being different. Company rule #5: Back to the drawing board if it ain't novel. You won't be disappointed.
