This is so awesome and I have no idea why. Not something I'd wear, probably, but awesome all the same.

Good artwork, but until I can produce enough energy to run a solar system, I think I will refrain from calling the sun retarded. ;o)

I like the illustration, but the title and Keter's comment puts it in perspective. I don't want to walk around wearing a shirt showing how 'normal' people think 'retarded' people look. That's just horribly offensive and ignorant. Otherwise I would have scored high.

ZERO

I disagree with the above. He seems more like a smug jewish guy to me. I love it it's perfect.

just to catch this one before it gets all out of proportion:

1)this has nothing to do with how 'normal' people think 'retarded' people look (a statement that is more telling about your views than anything else). it's a drawing.
2)if it helps, ignore the title. they asked for one, i thought of one that seemed to fit.
3) have a good day.

Q: What's better then winning the special Olympics?




A: Not being retarded.

Sorry for the bad joke. About the design, I really don't find this horribly offensive its just a play on words, which makes this actually kind of funny. Cartoons have been making fun of stuff like this for many of years, like the dodo bird.

I like it, it seems as though the sun is super excited (ren and stimpy style) and up to no good!
I think it looks great on all the colors too!
What a wonderful expression you've captured, it really is great!

I know alot of people who arent bright OR retarded (those aren't exactly exclusive opposites)...

and LOL at 'hi my name is' for the horrible tasteless joke that I couldn't help but tell my coworkers...

Love the art BTW

   kbauthus on Dec 04 '07
jeezus. okay, i hate defending/explaining my work, because i usually don't care. but there seems to be people out there WAY too touchy about something that's actually completely ridiculous.
as cottoneyelizzer said, not being bright does not necessarily equal being handicapped. how people are reading this as being offensive to mentally handicapped people is beyond me. it's a drawing of the sun, making a ridiculous face. it's not an anti-handicapped manifesto. it's a sun.
personally, i find people who automatically equate being dumb with being handicapped, and feel handicapped people should be treated with kid gloves to be offensive.
to everyone else: thanks
lovemyshirts: ha ha, awesome, this design was actually inspired by ren & stimpy, or rather spumco's work in general.

I immediately thought of Ren and Stimpy. I'm really sorry to see all of the sensitivity on this. I don't get it. $5

this is AWESOME

dont worry about the people leaving dumb comments about how its offensive... threadless likes designs more (as theyve stated) where people either love it or hate it

this seems to follow that criteria

It looks like he just made a poot and is torn on weather to be shy or laugh about it. In short, I FUCKING LOVE HOW PRECIOUS HE LOOKS. Great sun rays and lighting on the hillside, too!

STOP TAKLING THE TITLES SO LITERALLY, ASSHATS.

Interpret the art YOURSELF.
That's what art is all about!

I'm sorry, I was more offended by the second comment and that people would view it that way, which really irks me 'cause my brother has special needs.

The artwork is great.
