"Science Is Culture." The theme says it all. I sought to create a simple graphic depicting the two biggest cultural debates relating to science in recent memory.

poor pluto. D:
i like this.

slpei on Mar 15 '07

Great idea! However, I think the execution could be a bit better. As it stands, some parts look like a mixture of Paint and ClipArt. Really nice idea though!!

Cliss on Mar 15 '07

This is cute, however threadless has already printed a shirt about Pluto. To improve: the planets are well drawn but the couch, and the newspaper should be cleaner and neater. Also, maybe speech bubbles instead of just lines?

J-Ray on Mar 15 '07

on a side note, pluto is much, much smaller than Earth :0)

jillypilly on Mar 15 '07

i have that other shirt about pluto, but i would seriously get this one too. im so sad for pluto!

spock123 on Mar 15 '07

hahaha... When I saw this, I literally laughed out loud. I really hope this gets printed! Nice job!

TheloniusMnk on Mar 15 '07

Thanks for the nice comments. I know there was Pluto shirt already printed, but this design isn't all about Pluto. It's just a piece of the overall theme, so the context is a whole lot different than the other Pluto shirt.

TheloniusMnk on Mar 15 '07

Oh, and this was done from scratch in CorelDraw, just in case anyone cared.

fadedflame on Mar 16 '07

clever

cook1e on Mar 16 '07

hahahahha poor pluto

aloha243 on Mar 16 '07

I love this shirt! $5!!!

wantthatone on Mar 16 '07

I really like this. nice design, funny and topical. All good

Sinareo on Mar 16 '07

I think this is pretty funny, man! Something about the font dsn't sit right with me, though. I'm wondering how clear it will read on a printed shirt - maybe bolden the words?

I think it's very good, though. $5, of course.

eaglejon on Mar 16 '07

I really like the idea and the execution, but I kind of wish that it looked more like something that was hand drawn. The couch especially looks kind of blocky. The concept is great, though!

oneforthemoney on Mar 16 '07

fantastic!

idunno on Mar 16 '07

why does the moon have a pluto hat on?

Alexandra Marie on Mar 16 '07

One of the only shirts on here that has been able to make me laugh lately. Nice job.

Cloudgazer on Mar 16 '07

OH MY GOSH!

this is wonderful! :oD

gamejunkie on Mar 16 '07

lol I love this, very much. I need this in my collection! 5$

fidolofido on Mar 17 '07

Hee hee!
But I think Pluto would be purple, don't you?

TheloniusMnk on Mar 17 '07

To answer some questions about Pluto:

In every picture I've seen of Pluto, its color is a sort of bluish-gray. Hence, the color in the design.

Also, referring to idunno's question ("why does the moon have a pluto hat on?"), Pluto is basically just a big slab of rock floating around in space, just like the moon. Their surfaces are actually pretty similar. That's why I put the hat, just to clear up any doubt.

Thanks for all the comments!

cintrao on Mar 17 '07

this could be on an episode of south park... I like the ideia.

slytherinstar on Mar 18 '07

ha ha ha
hahahaha

mephitine on Mar 19 '07

For some reason--maybe it's the hat--this made me think of the whole Britney Spears/Kevin Federline thing. Bizarre.

Cute concept, though!

redsugar on Mar 19 '07

Haha!

Vorernil on Mar 19 '07

Hahhahahhah!

ChesterfieldKing on Mar 19 '07

i really like it!!!

lycoloco on Mar 19 '07

$5, I love the concept.

Bisparulz on Mar 20 '07

nice 5

YinYang on Mar 20 '07

I like it.

DaintyBuffalo on Mar 20 '07

tumblina on Mar 20 '07

i wouldnt buy it for myself but id buy it for someone else... maybe. its funny. like a good comic you're glad you caught in the paper. you didnt steal it from the comic section did you? i giggled. thanks for that.

icansolveit on Mar 20 '07

ahhhahaha

TheloniusMnk on Mar 20 '07

Definitely not stolen. I don't roll like that. I'm not aware of any comic that used this idea, so if something similar is already in existance then it's a complete coincidence.

Normally, I wouldn't be so defensive, but with people like candance20 submitting forgeries all over the place lately, people's suspicions might be up.

That said, thanks for all the comments! I'm glad you find it humorous.

LeRoi on Mar 20 '07

I'd just have them floating.

atomicpower on Mar 20 '07

pluto's not even allowed in the same room as earth anymore.

jacquiwithacue on Mar 20 '07

great idea. pluto should be smaller. it looks too much like the moon, even with the hat. it should be more obvious.

hurricane hanz on Mar 20 '07

love it. :]]]

Stephie Lou on Mar 21 '07

I Love it on green!

jsav on Mar 21 '07

Haha! This is great Thel!

dr. loopy94 on Mar 21 '07

I wish the Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences Department at MIT makes this their official shirt.

I'll be observing Pluto on a big telescope soon and sort of want to wear this shirt during run.

Please print this shirt!
