You know the story...
|
 |
Is Homer Simpson supposed to be eating the Michelin Tire guy? Wicked!
|
 |
WanderingBert on Jun 05 '07 Nicely illustrated. Great idea. I like the colours as well.
|
 |
$5!!!!!!!!!!
|
 |
Mmmm, chewy!
|
 |
remove the hair in the back yo. Then will be awesome!
|
 |
agree with you Siye
|
 |
the sign doesnt really make sense to me...
|
 |
This is maybe a little too copyright-enfringey for me, but I love the concept.
|
 |
Haha. As a LONG time Simpsons fan, this makes me laugh.
|
 |
fatheed on Jun 05 '07 No - I think you needs to keep the solid hair at the back to avoid copyright issues. I like the fact that it resembles Homer, rather than actually being a perfect illustration of the character (i.e. no massive round eyes) Lose the sign though - it's force-feeding us the puchline and we already got the joke.
|
|
fatheed on Jun 05 '07 Plus - in real English language, it's spelled Doughnuts. Crazy Americans, bastardising our langauge by cutting out unnecessary letters!
|
 |
Monkey III on Jun 05 '07 Poor Bibendum!
|
 |
copyright infringement?
|
 |
hahaha...so Funny !!
|
 |
don't need the sign, I think
|
|
radiomode on Jun 05 '07 Exactly what fathead mentioned. It is just a half bald guy who is munching a donut guy... no copyright involved.
|
 |
Bisparulz on Jun 05 '07 5$
|
 |
Very nice! I'm not wild about the color it's on though.
|
 |
it reminds me of the cheap rip off t-shirts they sell on bordertowns of mexico, might as well put a look alike mickey mouse in the corner that is just as badly done.
|
|
its well wicked i too would lose the sign. I also agree with flathead bastardising our languauge!!!! $5 none the less
|
 |
I love this!
|
|
Bwahaha, I don't know if I'd wear it, but definitly 5
|
 |
Funny, but the donut sign isn't necessary.
|
 |
This is really great. I think you walk the line of resembling Homer without crossing it -- the hair is the reason. Also, I agree with people about the sign. We get that it's doughnuts because of your "Homer" and the Michelin Man look-alike.
|
|
Copyright infringement or not, it's message is great! Hoodie! Hoodie!

big real big$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$55555555555555555

If it's bordrline infringement might as wlel make it even more,
e.g. making it two hair on his head, and no hair on the back, the nose, beard and eyes are different, but at least the hair will be right |
|
I like it, but I also think it would be better without the sign. The problem then is that he is looking off into space. Maybe you could have him turned horizontally, lose the sign, and have him looking down at the :donut man" while he is eating part of him.
|
 |
yeah this is pretty sweet, but take away the hair at the back and the sign isnt really necessary :) good and unique!
|
 |
MICHELIN....DEAD?!?!?!
...michelin...is....dead.... |
 |
Put the Michelin guy's head more in the front so it's more obvious what's happening. And Homer needs to look more Homer and less like a copy.
In fact, I'm not too keen on you ripping off The Simpsons. Make it a fat police officer instead - that'd be über :D |
 |
hahahah. love it! without the sign would be better though, i agree
|
|
Parody laws would protect this design even if it were an exact copy of both homer and the michelin man. That said, for purely aesthetic reasons I prefer the characters the way they are. It makes it feel a little more subversive. Kudos on a great design. Hope this gets through.
|
 |
Hahahaha very creative!
|
|
radiomode on Jun 09 '07 Thanks!
|
 |
grayehound on Jun 10 '07 parody laws may protect the design, but threadless has more than enough original art designs that they won't need to take any risks getting into a lawsuit with Fox anytime soon. nice design, but destined to never see print on this site.

"Is Homer Simpson supposed to be eating the Michelin Tire guy? Wicked!"
That's EXACTLY waht I was thinking xD |
 |
ha ha ha... this is really funny. you did a freaking awesome job! 5!!!
|
 |
nice! except the hair in the back. other than that, woo!
|
|
I love it. Maybe no hair in the back, as says everyone else, and remove the sign. 5$
|
|
I think it speaks for itself without the sign
|
 |
i like it, but i know threadless wouldn't print it. if someone wanted to call them out on copyright issues, they'd probably win.
