I thought it was a Marie Antoinette reference (although most likely false)

it looks like the mob is overlapping the girl farthest to the right and that just doesn't make sense.

You just keep on trying until you run out of cake

"let them eat cake" - Marie Antoinette

I really like the ladies, but as people have pointed out the mob looks out of place/weird where it is. I dont know where you could place it, (im to tired to think right now sorry lol) but it would be nice to see the text be underneath the ladies.

There should be a Seseme Street "wah wah wah waaaaaaaaaaah!" sound that accompanies this tee!

good concept, drawing needs some improvement,
replace Marie's face with Bush's, he is definately "out of cake"

Rebenno's right, the drawing quality's just not up to snuff. Mitten hands is evidence of sloppy drawing skill.

Threadless likes history, dislikes contemporary politics, so don't listen to EVERYTHING Rebenno said! Cute idea otherwise.

Contrary to popular belief, Marie Antoinette might not have been the one who said "Let them eat cake"...
"In Louis XVIII's memoir Relation d'un voyage a Bruxelles et d Coblentz (1791) he states that the phrase 'Que ne mangent-ils de la croûte de pâté?' (Why don't they eat pastry?) was used by Marie-Thérèse (1638-83), the wife of Louis XIV."

Just sayin'.

I would completely buy this, except the history geek in me has an issue with the fact that Marie Antoinette never did say "let them eat cake". If there were some other way to distinctly reference Marie, the shirt would be perfect. I love this, $5.

i dont know who eddie izzard is but im pretty positive its a marie antoinette reference. even eddie izzards thing is probably a marie antoinette reference.

Edward John "Eddie" Izzard (born February 7, 1962) is a double Emmy-winning English stand-up comedian and actor.

eddie izzard: cake or death

as for the design...
I think it's a great style. It's simple (mitten hands) but it's also expressive - so it works.
The crowd does need some work, as does the layout. I'd like to see it without the crowd and just a guillotine looming in the background (more detail though).
