The text is worthy, but you should have done something interesting with it. Cuz straight, plain text on a stylized angled design doesn't look good at all.
The tragedy of all this, sadly, is that I uploaded the wrong image. I created several versions with hand-rendered type (an element common to most of my work), but I also tried a couple with regular typefaces, just for the sake of comparison. The hand-rendered was clearly better, but unfortunately, I mistakenly chose the wrong image during the upload process. And being a Threadless newbie, I was sad to learn that you cannot replace or update images. So, there you go. I won't make that mistake again. I've gotten psycho now during the submission process, checking and re-checking to make sure I have the right one...
aww!! that's sad, but it's still an awesome idea and should be a shirt, you can submitt the same idea just change the font, but honestly, either way I'd buy it.
it wouldn't make any sense w/o the text. not sure about the font, though. can't think of a specific one that would be better. hmmm mabey look online @ some type foundries, or something. i dunno
I think the text is great, the image doesn't convey fully the mixed cliche of rocket surgery. I'd have liked to have seen the proper image but I'm 5$ this anyway.
I think you should keep the text, otherwise it won't click when people look at it. I think this is pretty clever, it always irritates me when people say that cause there's no such thing.
keep the text. eventhough the graphic is great, the text adds the extra little piece of the metaphor/pun (whatever you want to call it). Great shirt! 5$
THESE WORDS ARE FROM A MOSSIMO TSHIRT (i dont know if u have mossimo everywhere but we have it in australia and when i went shopping last tuesday i saw it ) blatent rip off
Handsome imposter: let me assure you that (A) I have never seen the Mossimo shirt you mention and (B) the phrase has existed long before as an inadvertent mingking of the phrases "rocket science" and "brain surgery". Mossimo did not invent it, And I SERIOUSLY doubt my shirt looks anything like the alleged shirt. It's not a rip-off at all, let alone a "blatant" rip-off...

you can't just go around making t-shirts out of bad puns, there are consequences
PirateJim
This... is really cute.
I dig the font, too.
nothingiscute
i love the illustration but would not wear a pun on a shirt. 4 because i cannot reconcile those two things.
skipcronin
i can't reconcile the "cannot reconcile" comment but funny pun.
talentshow
Love the illustration, hate the text. Let strong images speak for themselves!
mechanical_rain
whoever said to get rid of the text...i completley disagree.
i like this a lot. it's lame & cute...but that's what makes it funny. i would buy it.

I'm laughing over here, but Pifman is right.

matildaben
keep the text. And it's not a pun.
5$
kreamy
You're right, matildaben. It's NOT a pun. It's a mixed metaphor. Thanks for pointing that out...

Lose the text, please. It stands by itself. Great work.
DaedalusVoid
Great concept and play on phrases. Don't cut the text, give it a custom font or something.

I think the word "bad" and "pun" do not belong in the same sentence.
Puns are great.
Shirt is great.

finkenstein
shirt is awesome.
erockett
love the shirt. Without the text, it will be confusing.
scoprum
tehe it's silly

i hate when people say "rocket surgery" NO. it's rocket science OR BRAIN SURGERY. "it's not brain science."
therefore.
i love this.
piankhi
I like the design, but I'd like it even more if the text was gone.
I don't say that often, but this design really does stand alone. :)
caseface
take out the text
happycandy
love it
leave the text
BatmanKissMe
rocket science? you mean??
finkenstein

heartbreakinaugust

I love it. I would prefer without the text however. The joke is evident on it's own. Nice style.

Yeah, I mean to type "inadverent MINGLING". Although, "mingking" IS funnier...
kreamy
Wow, I'm am such a lame typist. I meant to type "inadvertent" that time. Geez.
