Every time I hear a Calypso song, Particularly "Fed-A-Ray" by Lord Beginner, I picture this dancing cow in my head. And a buddy I work with pictures dancing monkeys. Wanted to go with a vintage cartoon look for the whole thing, because, well, that's what it looks like in my head!

It could be on red, but I like it on a tan or brownish-colored tee, to give it more of that old-fashioned sepia cartoon look.

(You can listen to the song here: http://www.last.fm/music/Lord+Beginner and decide for yourself what you see dancing through your heads!)

to me this just looks way too much like those old old cartoons that were disgustingly racist. but i could be overreacting.

A lot of those old cartoons were racist. But not all of them, and that is certainly not what I was going for.

Great job, and I was reading and thought "wtf".. Never really put a cow with a race before.

YOU COW!

*mom goes to her room and slams door*

I posted without my complete thought, I don't see anything racist about this.
I give it a 4, I like the style alot.. But it's a bit too simple. Great work though, this could be great on many things.

ZOMG NIPPLES!!!

Love it, love it, love it. $5 for sure!

yeah, i guess you are right. i personally have a physical aversion to old style cartoons, but it's definitely a huge generalization to claim that they are ALL racist. and i do actually think that the image you've created is pretty fantastic.

i love that old cartoons too!
your tee is cool though a little too clean and simple

A little too clean, maybe. I love the "worn" look of the film in old-timey cartoons. Clarabelle Cow

Reminds me of the old Disney cartoons - which I loved the look of.

$5
Where's the fourth teet?

I figure if cartoon characters only have three fingers, then they only have three nipples! (If they're cows, that is. People would have only one then? Or, in the case of Olive Oil, no boobs at all.)

i see the connection. i can definitely see those guys dancing to that song.

i find this really funny.

good job.

I like this a lot! Hey! Put a coconut shell on that girl; she's indecent! lol Hey, one appropriately placed coconut shell WOULD be a little funny, no? Sorry, my wacky mind!

whoa those old school cartoons are making a comeback

I definitely love this! but red is better, i think.

I love the oldschooledness (special word) of this. It reminds me of Betsy or Bessie or whatever the disney cow's name is. lol

looooooooooooooooooooove it!!

Could be considered a tad racist; and a bit too Betty-Boop.

I didn't think of it as even remotely racist, or of the possibility of racism until people mentioned it on here.

Oh well, I like the style :D It's definitely got a classic feel to it.

Well drawn, nailed what you were going for. If anything, I'd make it busier, to go for that "madcap" feel. Not racist, but very, very creepy.

I don't know where you see something racist here. Some old cartoon okay but not this design ! It's nice...
