Haha, love the design.

And nice little bit of irony in the comment.

You've ripped off Mr. Invisible's robot

This was up on fc gravy's flickr way before that design appeared, namE.

Who knows, maybe it's the same designer?

Anyways, $5 for this.

K fair enough Bramish, well as the design is different besides the robot's head, it gets a 4 anyway.

Reminds of this Far Side cartoon, except it was an Irish Setter (i think) instead of a robot. Still funny though. I like it!

I love the idea on this shirt. namE has a point. It looks too close to Mr. Invisible's robot design.

thanks for the comments so far. just to defuse namE's point, i know mr. invisible VERY well so it's ok. plus we think this concept is better :)

just thought i would add this link because the type looks screwy.

what if you changed the 'boredom' tag to just 'off' and put it last? great design though!
ibyes
ibyes on Sep 13 '07
I like it. But I also agree with mildish bored doesn't make sense it should be "off" and while you're at it how about "turned off" to give it the ol' double meaning?

I've seen this concept before by the Weird Fish label. Good job though.

thought the same thing as CLGrovo

thanks for the comments and suggestions guys :)

dang, i suppose the idea isn't clear enough that the 'boredom' robot is on 'standby' and not actually 'turned off'. i just checked out the far side cartoon for the first time. i had a feeling the concept wasn't totally original.

Verry nice :) me like!

I don't care if the idea is not original. I love the bored robot.

$5 & I hope this one wins.

Awesome. I got the off eyes. 5$

   FRICKINAWESOME on Sep 16 '07
Yeah, i love this idea. but in not a fan of boredom being different because it doesn't make much sense. Why would the robot switch off when bored? If there must be one that's different, please make it "broken" or something like that. Other than that, great idea and a 4$ from me.

thanks for the positive comments and appreciate the feedback :)

frickinawesome: i see what you're saying. i think that's what ppl are having an issue with. i just wanted to keep a simple idea real simple.

yay! robots! i'd wear this, even if far side had the idea first. $4

IHUGROBOTS on Sep 17 '07
i actually like how the boredom robot isnt last
i dont see why the different one in these pattern type shirts have to be last.
i love this shirt.

comments! thanks, peeps :)

I agree with IHUGROBOTS (not about hugging robots - I'm not into that) - tucked in the middle of the sequence is the one and only expression that this robot can make and the parallels with humans are huge. So often people carry fixed expressions, belying what they are really thinking inside. But that blank 'stand-by' stare of boredom at listening to someone harp on about computer networking....we've all done it.
