Shouldn't it be a swordfish?

Making it a swordfish would make it that much funnier!

I agree with the swordfish thing. A shark is kinda random.

I agree with the above,
but still - it's a GREAT illustration! $5 from me.

Hey - other people beat me to the sword fish comment. I really like this shirt and it looks great as it is, but you have to admit that a sword fish fits.

Wow, that didn't even occur to me (nar). I'll do a revision and resub. Disregard this one then, I guess. Thanks!

funny, funny.

haha, it's funny because sharks are extremely rough-skinned. the laugh got from this shirt is from the impossibility, no? If it was a swordfish it wouldn't be as funny, except that it is a mis-interpreted literality, which I guess is the only thing you Threadless people understand....

I kind of agree with Bradley. A swordfish would be too obvious of a gag. The shark is funny for the reasons above, plus he's probably going to open wide and just swallow the dude. I'd leave it alone for now and maybe do a resub depending on how it scores (high, I hope; 5$ awesome job).

Thanks, Bradley & Mike. Bradley, yeah that was the original jist of what I was trying to do and go with the impossibility and surealness of it. I didn't think of a swordfish because I wasn't going for /that/ kind of a joke. Mike, yeah I suppose the shark would open wide on his way down, eh? That's funny, too.

Thanks much for the comments! Still going to work a swordfish into it if that is what the masses want.

I'm in the shark camp, it gives an obvious joke a surreal component. Sharks are the ultimate incongruenty, enhancing the shock value. I love it. $5. I'd buy it.

Thanks, Rhonda! We'll see how it goes.

I don't mind the shark, although a swordfish would add a pun to the mix, as though the assistant grabbed the wrong kind of sword....I don't know...

Well why don't you have the shark opening his mouth? =]

I like it...though maybe not in olive green
Both the swordfish and the shark work in their own ways

Cute. I'd like to see the design smaller on the tee and I agree... swordfish is the way to go.

Wow, I am not even going to bother with a resub for this one...

How is it that this did not score at least over 2.0? It's obvious a lot of work went into it. Are people just stupid?

Who knows... thinking about throwing in the towel all together actually, it's just not worth it anymore...

I say re-do it. You never know...
