At the end of the day, if you show that design to an unbiased person, do you think that they're going to get that it was inspired by comics?
No, they won't. I've tried it. Everyone has liked it as a t-shirt, but comics don't enter into the discussion.
Had the design had the logo at the top with 'Ice Cream Commandos #1' then yes that would've fit the bill. and no, it doesn't have to have word balloons, panels borders, halftones, guys in tights, sound effects or any other comic stereotype. It just has to say 'comics' to the viewer. This doesn't.
tru dat. I submitted for this contest and feel a great deal of bummed right now. I love the penguins and take nothing away from the great shirt, but this is not a Loves Comics winner.
