Are you implying Freddie Mercury was a neanderthal, sir??

Great fun to do, but as a shirt it doesn't really do anything for me. But as a puzzle in GAMEs magazine, i'd be all about this one!

It reads zig-zagged. The numbers and color pattern, and slightly diagonal middle section are a clue.

So the bat comes after the caveman (they both live in caves).

Okay. I totally got everything until broom to milkshake to hand. That I didn't get.
But I still think it's awesome.

Elizar on Aug 09 '07
Well i think the last hand and the milkshake are connected by "hand shake" maybe..Spencer could you please put up an explanation?
Nice idea 4

very fun design and concept, great graphics too. (I spent 10 minutes connecting all the stamps/icons).

Is fifty an attack or something and fifty-five a heart attack? I love the freddy mercury connections.
spencer fruhling
   spencer fruhling on Aug 09 '07
That works, but I was thinking: a broken leg, then a heart (another body part that can be broken)

Unfortunately I don't, so I'm reluctant to score it highly.
Someone should explain it I think.

Spoiler Alert:

The hand wears a ring that's also the sound a phone makes, which is the thing E.T. needs, who rides on a bike, which has wheels, the first of which was made by a caveman, who lives in a cave like a bat does, which sounds the same as the baseball variety, which can also be used to break guy's legs, like how a heart can be broken too, which there is a Queen of, which is also the name of a band fronted by Freddie Mercury, whose last name is a substance in thermometers, which deals with temperature like a thermos does, which is commonly seen in a packed lunch with a sandwich, which sounds like witch, which rides a broom, which has straw in it like a milkshake, which "shakes" like a hand. The two hands are joined.

Phewf. Hope that makes sense.

Some of those connections are a bit of a stretch, lol. Also it might behove you to use arrows rather than incremental number increase in the stamps (or in addition to). I completely ignored the numbers and tried to read it like a book. I couldn't follow why Freddy Mercury was akin to a caveman. But definitely a unique concept.
Maimes
Maimes on Aug 09 '07
its a great shirt, as long as you read it in the right order, its easier to follow if you look at the order of the numbers, thats how people are getting lost, its zigzaged as layed out by the numbers
$5
ehrady
ehrady on Aug 09 '07
i got most of the connections, some are a bit tougher. also, having the order go left right then right left doesn't seem neccessary, so why do it? $5 anyways.

funkyfuel on Aug 09 '07
Some of the connections are inspired some of them are re****ed

suitesabotage on Aug 10 '07
i think its unique, but your connections are pretty obscure. like a bat can also be used to break a guy's leg? thats pretty random. to strengthen the shirts appeal, you might want to cut out like a third of the stamps and make the connections easier to understand. i really love the integration of both definitions of correspondence.
icansolveit
icansolveit on Aug 10 '07
is that a wooden leg?hahhahaha if it is good one!
and is that suppose to be elvis? because i like the shirt, but if thats elvis "the king" you need to improve his apperence.

love,but the orange color seems strange. i made the connections pretty easily. very fun!
jackiejacktoo
jackiejacktoo on Aug 10 '07
i like it anyway. to me it says "I like mail" "i like stamps", 'check out my rack". All good sentiments.

cool idea, but freddie's face isn't recognizable. i only know it's him from one of the comments (:
diulf_teloiv_a
diulf_teloiv_a on Aug 11 '07
just make the whole thing go left to right. no need to go back and forth because it really is confusing people. also, the green color is unappealing. if you change it to a different green i think it would be a lot better.

3 for now.
Jebbie
Jebbie on Aug 11 '07
I really like it but would prefer the placement down a little.

I like the ambiguity of it because you can find the connections you want to find.

i spent forever trying to work out what a caveman and freddie mercury have in common until i realised. your t-shirt has taken too many minutes of my life, but i like it :)

Red Threads on Aug 14 '07
I thing the zig-zag reading isn't so great you should flip the middle stamp line the other way seems more logical. I mean that's how i first read it.

I want a shirt w/ Dame Freddie Mercury dressed as a caveman.

   spencer fruhling on Aug 14 '07
There's also a nod to Google in the color pattern: blue, red, yellow, blue, geeen, red.

   Ste7en on Aug 14 '07
its fanstastic! the simple, but clean and effective illustrations would make it easy to see on a shirt as well
