Yoshi's is a lot better, if nothing else.

Baaaaaaaaaaah. I get tired of these accusations. I could care less. But on the topic, isn't there a Married to the Sea (webcomic) shirt like this? I may or may not be imagining it. The store's down right now or I'd check.

Fermata on Aug 05 '08 at 7:45am

But yeah, that'd mean that this guy's "original design" is also a rip off. That'd be HILARIOUS.

squatterjohn on Aug 05 '08 at 7:47am

Yeah, there's another blog about the married to th sea similarity. That is hilarious he's ripped that off!

Look like he deleted it. Like I said before - ideas are out there in the ether. They're not unique to a single person. That Paul guy comes across as a complete penis.

F* that
I'm buying this shirt.

Different drawing, execution, composition and design.
Same idea, but this isn't exactly hard to come up with.

The idea is one that anyone could come up with on there own. It's not unusual. It's like getting mad that someone drew an animal roaring, as if you were the first one to think up that genius idea. This crybaby needs to get a life.

i totaly agree with every comment made here - i was really pissed when i saw how mean he was in the article - he even posted a link to it on the design original submission page - to late for 2nd thoughts

squatterjohn on Aug 05 '08 at 7:56am

I think this is better than both the other designs. The guy actually looks like he's dj-ing. The headphones in one ear and the pose make this. The one it's accused of ripping off on the site above just looks like a guy pointing at two grampohones. He might as well be a salesman.

to me looks unique!, I will buy it, and i want to be very proud

Although it's not hard to come up with the idea for this shirt, this looks EXACTLY like the Married to the Sea shirt/comic.
It was the first thing it made me think of when I saw it.

fatheed on Aug 05 '08 at 1:23pm

what are you talking about, sillyputty? back your comment up with some evidence.

fatheed on Aug 05 '08 at 1:25pm

i.e. provide a link to the EXACT like shirt/comic

There is a difference in copying somebodys design and having a similar idea. There isnt anything copyed in the T'-less version. He doesnt have the same posture or anything. Its just a 1800s guy Djing.
