Clever. But I don't like the text...it seems unnecessary, but hey. It's all good. :D

haha tomatoes will always be vegetables - even if they have seeds and are *technically* fruits

wikipedia says that tomatoes are the "ovaries of plants"

cute shirt!

is the tomato coming out of the closet?
Crippled Iguana
Crippled Iguana on Jun 07 '07
Yeah, the tomato is coming out in a manner of speaking. It's an informative shirt for those caught up in that age old fruit or vegetable dispute.

Enjoy!

The pacman hands and feet really doesn't do it for me. I'd rather if you gave them arms and legs as well or no appendages at all. The exclamation mark seems funny (as in strange) as well. Maybe angle it or something. Combined with the Pacman hands/feet it gives the impression that it's part of his body.

i agree, remove the hands and feed on both the potato and tomato. Move the exclamation over to the end of the sentence: I'm a fruit!.

otherwise it's cute. I wouldn't buy it. But i'd admire it on someone else.

Those are no pacman hands (since when does pacman have hands??)

I recognise the style of the tomato. You rip it somewhere. I know cause I love that retro style. Don't try to deny it. If you gonna copy it -- do it good.

No denying it, I did intend to use a retro style so I used reference.

Glad you responsed, Good luck with your design. Truthfully, if you weren't gonna rip that 'drop' I was. :D

I love the tomato without the potato and the background.

I like the tomato's little cheek sparkle. (I'm not sure it needs any of that potato background stuff, but it doesn't bother me either way.)

I think without it there would lack a story, but thank you for your critiques.

the tomatoes gay as it wants to date another fruit. eww. lol

Maybe a different vegetable besides the potato, because most people don't consider a potato a vegetable. Thus, the idea of the shirt is lost. [Or at least that's what I got...]
Crippled Iguana
Crippled Iguana on Jun 08 '07
I think the potato is fairly well known as a vegetable or at least known enough. I personally liked the why potato and tomato rhyme and there is a song about it, not to mention the beautiful curves a potato has relative to a woman. I think most women like being referred to as potatoes, don't they?

...I wouldn't want to be drawn as a potato, I see them as lumpy and bulky.
I laughed when I saw this, it's so adorable, but it is not my style.
I think you need the potato, or whatever other female veggie, in the background for people to understand the whole coming out of the closet thing.
SUPERxDUPER
SUPERxDUPER on Jun 09 '07
haha this is silly. i don't think people would like to walk around with "I'm a fruit!" written on their shirts though, seeing as people usually try to avoid being called gay and such.
but i give it a 5 anyway. :)
cutiewabooty
cutiewabooty on Jun 09 '07
I don't care
i would buy this shirt for all my out friends
I'm sure they wouldn't mind
Why would you avoid being called gay?
I get the coming out of the closet thing, so no unnecessary veggies
Also I like the little hands and feeties cuteeee.
I think they need to be spaced apart a little very little.

HAHAHA the tomato's not gay, he's a fruit.
This is one of my favourite threadless shirts so far. Good job!

Oh, it's a potato!

I thought it was just a chubby peanut...

Hahaha. I got in an argument the other day over the fact that tomato is a fruit, and no one believed me. $5 fo sho

is it really a fruit?

Oh I feel dumb. At first glance I thought the potato was a peanut...yet the message still made me giggle. I like it.

I liek the idea. Making the tomato "come out" to a sexy chick potato is clever.
I agree about the hands though, it looks kinda off.
BrambleRose
BrambleRose on Jun 14 '07
I've had this conversation SO many times! This is a really clever idea. However, I might change the potato to something more classically "vegetable" - say a carrot or some celery. People might see it then and think "bloody mary" though...
