And I believe the designer is French, so it really makes you wonder...

it's only logical that the clown should be in the third bed. it's like the punchline. unless you are japanese or jewish and see the clown first.

so it depends when the picture was drawn. I love how people instantly think stuff on threadless is ripped - it could be the other way round, noone should jump to conclusions.

while the designer may have stolen the idea, isn't it legally acceptable if the design is changed... 30%? I can't remember the exact number... something about you can't claim ownership to ideas, etc etc...

i thought the staff used this argument in another thread for another shirt.

or am I completely confused here?

anyway, if that's the case, then all anyone can really do is say FOR SHAME.

and thats it...

The text with the picture

The prices of the second edition of World Press Cartoons were decreed in Sintra, close to Lisbon, on Thursday April 20. This demonstration, which international Courrier is associated, became one of the great world appointments of the tuck pattern. This year, 464 drawings exposed (in Sintra, in Central farming Olga Cadaval, until May 20), are signed there by 213 draughtsmen resulting from 48 countries. The jury, chaired by António Antunes - the draughtsman who, with his comparse Rui Paulo da Cruz, journalist and realizer, is at the origin of the demonstration - decreed 17 prices and mentions in three categories: leading drawing, caricatures and drawing of humour. Here. They prove once again - if need be - that the feather of the draughtsman is not made to cherish but scratch. And also to tickle. And sometimes to transport. Or, for the statement differently, to laugh, react, reflect.

Ok, I finally figured out a logical explaination to this. UberRyan's brother must have gotten Apy's password, logged on, and submitted this design.

apy definitely improved on the artwork. Not an original concept, apparently, but so it goes.
