..or so he thought.

Some people just have no idea.
I hope you're not one of 'em not to get this.

I'll be the first to say I'm one of 'em. To not get this.

joylovessonshine on Mar 19 '07

i don't understand this shirt at all...

Tonteau on Mar 19 '07

I get it. Beetle, right?

Sunshine69 on Mar 19 '07

LOL... this one cracked me up. I have a friend who at one time had 4 bugs, and he would cannibalize some of them to keep others running. I only wish you could get the point across without having to actually have him say "A spare engine!"

Bramish on Mar 19 '07

I know nothing about cars. Would I understand this if I did?

joshamman on Mar 19 '07

that is the worst drawing of a VW beetle ive ever seen. Seriously, it looks like a melted gummy worm or something.

Tonteau on Mar 19 '07

Possibly, Bramish. All you need to know is that a beetle has it's engine at the back of the car, in the place most cars have their spare tyre.

Bramish on Mar 19 '07

I see. Thanks.

bookworm on Mar 19 '07

haha. thats hilarious.

bookworm on Mar 19 '07

i would totally buy it.

fatheed on Mar 19 '07

I understood it - but I don't think its fair to assume that most people would understand this. Particularly as it doesn't look much like a Beetle.

joylovessonshine on Mar 19 '07

i would have got it if the car looked remotely like a beetle...

Trimm Trabb on Mar 19 '07

I like that the kid is wearing a threadless hoodie. :D

Nodus on Mar 19 '07

Kwah that's a Beetle? The perspective is a bit off... well, okay, the perspective is off.

Also, where can I purchase one of those "For Sale" signs w/ pole? That's hot.

dimmak on Mar 19 '07

Wait that's a beatle? I thought it was an ambassador...

AlisonOrDieTrying on Mar 19 '07

Love the threadless hoodie!

Couldn't tell it was a Beetle either.

comradesquirrel on Mar 19 '07

the fact that the car may or may not be a beetle doesn't matter as much to me, and i do actually find the shirt funny... what bothers me a lot is how the engine is shown, in that circular outline...i think it would look A LOT better if you drew in the missing detail.

ekaj47 on Mar 19 '07

i keep looking at the persons t-rex style arms and hunch back

Balty on Mar 19 '07

love the concept, but what happened? how come everything is almost melting or gummy-like? you had a great VW bug design in your traffic jam shirt! you should have used the same base!

J-Ray on Mar 19 '07

Hahaha nice Infinity MPG hoodie! Nice going Kaloyster

J-Ray on Mar 19 '07

And yeah, it doesn't look like a VW bug so the joke was kind of lost by me... But I still like the look of it.

thelambslain on Mar 19 '07

shit shirt

Sunshine69 on Mar 19 '07

the guy's arms need a little work. Right now he looks a bit like a Thalidomide baby. I think it would be better if you smoothed out the car , but I understood that it was a Beetle right away. I also think it's fine with the circular outline for the engine, it drives home the idea that a spare tire would usually be there.

I_ am_Moose on Mar 19 '07

For those of you that are currently going "Ha-whuh?", the car on the shirt is an old edition of a VW Beetle and with the the older cars the engine would be in the back-- not the front like newer cars. This dude thinks that the car comes with two engines.

Please correct me if I am wrong, Kaloyster.

koolest_chicken_91 on Mar 19 '07

i like it how the person is wearing a threadless shirt

Holly Bees on Mar 19 '07

Maybe you could clarify that it's a VW by adding to the sign, something like: "1979 Beetle for sale". I've looked at oodles of vw's and the car in this submission looks like none i've ever seen.

Funny cartoon

Funny cartoon

orwell on Mar 19 '07

i got it. VW beetle's aren't the cars to have the engine in the back. (of course that car doesn't look like a beetle) it's funny though. i like that the kid is wearing a threadless shirt.

bad_nobe on Mar 19 '07

asteg.

kaloyster on Mar 19 '07

I_am_Moose is correct.

Thanks for the nice (and harsh) comments about this design.

20shaark00 on Mar 19 '07

well, i think it's great. knew it was a bug.
it's funny, so if this doesn't make it, redraw and resub...

Linkoftime on Mar 19 '07

I only think it needs to be more of a distinct beetle...

Otherwise you might just think the idiot has the car pointed the wrong way...

cholebear on Mar 20 '07

I didn't even think it was really that funny after reading the story. I think that maybe this shirt is too specific to ever be rated really well. Also, he's got a car yet he's wearing the infinite mpg tee?

violesca on Mar 20 '07

maybe if he had a thought bubble showing a small vw with both trunk and hood opened showing two engines?

knallteufel on Mar 20 '07

he wears the unlimited cycling shirt which real name i forgot!

quaycur on Mar 20 '07

i haven't ever heard the spare engine one, but i have heard "wait, why does it have two engines?" funny idea.

oh, and you'd never be able to have the vw logo in it. those people go nuts when you use their names/logos/anything.
