About my design

by polynothing

It's time for that talk...

bloatbugjen on Jul 12 '07

god i'm glad i never reallyy had to sit down to a talk like this... it seems so traumatising... and disturbing. lol

like the style

bunnybraineater on Jul 12 '07

i love this idea and i like the style, it's very reminiscent of those old-fashioned illustrations in the booklets you get when you turn 12. my only complaint would be better placement of the word bubbles; it bothers me how the mom's are so far apart. great, though.

hahaahhahahaha

mr rogers on Jul 12 '07

SO good, if it doesnt win, try another way of displaying it. like have the 2 parents looking forward and the 2 bubbles coming on either side of them, and have just a sillhouette (howev its spelled) of the kid looking at them with his back to where the camera wud be

say what?

freshview on Jul 13 '07

I wish the "egg" bubble wasn't crossing in front of them.

lmao, don't change a thing. $5

so funny!

InnocentEyes on Jul 13 '07

yeaaaa....no. I think this is too crude to put on a shirt.

AndreasP! on Jul 13 '07

Kind of funny, but doesn't make a very good shirt.

Love the style, takes me back to the 50s, before kids could learn about sex on the internet. Hate the speech bubbles, they're all over the place. Perhaps mum and dad only need one each with both their corresponding images inside?

hipka on Jul 13 '07

love the colours. 4

mrsjohnmurphy on Jul 13 '07

funny! I love the sheer confusion on the child's face!

yoshi andrian on Jul 13 '07

CatProximity on Jul 13 '07

CatProximity on Jul 13 '07

I agree. It'd be much clearer if there were only two bubbles, one with the birds and bees and the other with the sperm and egg.

Kookaberry on Jul 13 '07

The one speech bubble in front is out of place. Why is that one in front and all others in back? Amusing design, I like the suggestion some gave of putting the birds/bees in one bubble from the dad and the sperm/egg in one bubble from the mom.

lol this is great!

i love this design and i love cornelius. being a cornelius fan..i think he'd like this design too.$5

yeshchatte on Jul 13 '07

I think that this is funny. I think a color shirt might be nice, too., but I think it still works.

I don't think it's too crude?? that's weird because I've seen a LOT of waaay worse things to put on a shirt.... I think having a sense of humor is key here.

I hope they print it! :)

karenlynn79 on Jul 13 '07

i love this so much! kids are so befuddled by their parents' explanations of sex!

would buy in a sec

5$

xprivate_eyex on Jul 14 '07

omg the design needs to be, like, HALF that big! D:

xprivate_eyex on Jul 14 '07

also, InnocentEyes, you clearly have not seen the "The Money Shot" shirt.

broken_cupcake on Jul 14 '07

oh yes.

polynothing on Jul 14 '07

private eye: I totally agree, it should, and would definitely be resized a bit smaller

nuthead on Jul 14 '07

cool design threadless print this on one of your new t-shirts that would rock!!! but not on white or natural. sky blue or a rust color T.

sharster on Jul 14 '07

i'd change the font of the question mark. and do two bubbles instead of four.

People, please learn how to make hyperlinks. It's not that difficult. Every time I turn around I'm having to type in some insanely long URL because you can't copy & paste from the forums, the URLs don't automatically hyperlink, and someone doesn't know how to use a bit of HTML.

Here's a tutorial on how to do it if you don't know how:

How to Make a Hyperlink

mephitine on Jul 15 '07

Okay, I'm finished grousing about people and their lack of hyperlinks. Grumble grumble.

As for this design, it looks great. It's not something I'd wear, but it's very well done. Wouldn't change a thing.

Looneygirl on Jul 15 '07

Cute! And so true! The mom tells the real story because the dad doesn't want to deal with it!
