WIP: Wacky Racers - looking for suggestions.

I've been inspired by those Wacky Races cartoons, and have decided to try and make a shirt filled with strange racers. I thought maybe I'd throw this up here and see if any of you creative minds have any ideas for a wacky car(s). Here's what I have so far, and I'm sketching out a couple more as we speak.

Thanks for looking.

- alien driving a ufo/flying saucer
- mime floating and "pretending" to drive a car
- senior driving his/her wheelchair
- bus driver racing his/her bus with a load of people on it

A lion driving a zebra carcass?

jess4002 is the genius.

- Thanks, Mitch. Congrats on your latest score.

- Ooooh. I like the mime idea. And I had thought about a bus with kids flying out of it. Thanks, Jess.

- TheInfamousBaka... haha I wouldn't even know how to draw that.

hospital bed with iv and sick guy.
they used to race outhouses in fairbanks where i lived.
maybe some sort of wacky aircraft should be involved to fill up the composition. maybe some sort of bicycle-powered gyrocopter with an evil steampunk baron driving it.

and a fat guy with balloons on a lawn chair

A bird with a nest vehicle with eggs and/or baby chicks in it! :)

This is fantastic, Andy. I love your work and just subbed a design of mine to keep up haha You ever watch the show Space Racers when you were young? This remind me a lot of that show (which is awesome)

Can't wait to see more!

This is the first I've heard of Space Racers. Now you need to start on another design so ours can go up at the same time. You beat me last time both in scoring, and having it win. I need a rematch.

davidfromdallas on Apr 16 '09 at 4:07pm

just subbed Wrong Pole. Dont think it will score as well as your Beauty and the Beast did, so we'll probably be tied :)

Let me know when you're aiming to sub this one so I can get one up, too haha

awesome! I love your style, I'm sure this is going to be badass.
I love the idea of having a mime driver, and a hospital bed guy

alvarejo on Apr 16 '09 at 4:10pm

this is getting great

davidfromdallas on Apr 16 '09 at 4:14pm

Mime and Hospital bed are great..

maybe a hobo/bum driving a park-bench with wheels, a kid on a really long slipnslide haha

Dog or skeleton in a bonemobile
Atreyu in a Falkor racer (i've been thinking about the neverending story lately)
A pear driving a watermelon
Jake driving the threadless van
I love jess's mime idea.
