I'd have to say, I really do not like it on a red colored t-shirt. Eek.

I like it, and on the red seems good - what bothers me is the way the floor cuts off. I would just take out the white and let the pink and the red of the shirt be the floor - then there's not such a definite edge.

Funny. I giggled. I don't mind the floor that much but Chengui's idea has some merit.

Still a 4.

Awesome with a different color shirt. Maybe gray.

Don't like the white under the tiles. Not necessary. But it is a cute silly joke.
noloafing
noloafing on Jun 12 '08
chengui is right. just take out the white part that is on the edge of the floor, the curvy white part. let the pink tiles touch the red on the edge, but leave the white tiles in the floor.

Oh that lazy slinky! I love it! Great sight gag.

I LOVE it!!! Just what I've been looking for...something smart and funny! I'd happily buy that...but if it can be on any color but red, that would be awesome. Great job! $5

I personally like the design on a dark grey shirt but think it works well on almost any color. I just used red cause there really aren't many available on threadless.

Thanks for the feedback!

Really cute. I wish the plant by the arrows had more detail, but other than that, I like it.

turbolucy on Jun 13 '08
hahaha! nice detail on mr. slinky, by the way. add a little detail on the plant and it's a 5.

Heh. I too thought it was a lazy slinky which would have made it a bit funnier, but it's still pretty great.

take the floor out or it looks too much like its drawn for a comic

   FRICKINAWESOME on Jun 14 '08
Wow, a ton of detail for such a simple joke! lol. I'd like the ride upward to be a bit more obvious, maybe with an UP highlighted as well near the door. Other than that, a really vibrant and fun-loving tee design.

hockal1215 on Jun 14 '08
Love the design, but not on the red tee. Maybe on gray, or white to match the floor.

This is workin' on so many levels. It's "in your face" and subtle at the same time.

Having just read the comments I think Chengui is on the right track. I think it'd look better without the blob around the tiles. maybe make the coloured tiles the same as the shirt too?

I almost think it would be as much the same joke if it was just the slinky and the stairwell sign. But I love the idea all the same. It has a Far Side comic appeal to it. :)
Raffid
Raffid on Jun 15 '08
i want to see "ZZzzz" coming from slinky.

I almost think it would be the same joke if it was just the slinky and the ELEVATOR.

Poor guy can't get it up.

LMAO, agree with the floor but the concept and illo are so good, I'll 5 it anyway.

This is so cool! I like it on the grey, the red doesn't look so hot. It looks so cute waiting for the elevator.

If anyone's interested, I posted a monotone version of Slinky on flickr. It's my solution to the comments about the floor.

i personally think it need to be more obvious that he's going up not being lazy & taking the lift down. like have "ground floor" or something.
unless that was the effect that it could mean either way?

[+duracell-] on Jun 18 '08
I thought he was just being lazy and taking the elevator down the whole time until just now. Id change the arrows, floor #, and stair pic to reflect that. You don't associate slinkies with going up anything.
