Love this design but I really hope this doesn't mean that Attack of Literacy won't get printed due to its similarity to this. I am really hoping it gets printed.

Agreed--I'd really like Attack of the Literacy to get printed and spread joy. D:

Both this:

How many licks? - Threadless, Best T-shirts Ever

and this:

Geology 2 - Threadless, Best T-shirts Ever

were printed, so I don't think it'd be that much of an issue. I think, rather, it's explained in the comments towards the bottom of the original sub for this:

Attack of Literacy! - Threadless, Best T-shirts Ever

Specifically, the comments from Jan. 31 and Feb. 13...

Same here.

Ah well, Threadless can't have a monopoly on *all* the awesomest designs.

hardly a monopoly. I'm absolutely positive this design was originated by some artist too long dead to sue for copyright infringement:

umm isn't the point of this tshirt that its supposed to look like those old pulp comics, but done up in a more modern way? did you really think that the poster thought he invented the pulp magazine style? this is a great design, and is in no way "copied" from the picture you posted

it can't get printed. it's been submitted at designbyhumans and they own the copyright for 60 days after it enters their archives whether it's printed or not. If it gets printed by them, they own the design outright.

this design is disqualified here, legally.

This design isn't that original and I really don't see it was chosen to print.
