I was looking through some old 50's public service junk and found a lot of really funny stuff. I based this shirt off of some of the images I found and then of course, added my own twist. I kinda laughed at how propaganda-like it all was and thought the communism joke fit right in with it all. Communism is not a toy little Johnny. Not a toy at all...

lol

navy blue is nice. i like the boy in the middle with the stripe shirt. illustrations very well done, maybe too many for my taste. the font is ok but could be something more retro, similar to the subject. cool concept. good luck*4

I just want to make it clear again, cause I'm always paranoid about this stuff, that I based this off some actual 50's public announcement junk. I wanted to take the original images and messages and make a parody of them, that's all. I thought it was pretty funny. Somehow everything seemed to relate back to defeating communism, even brushing your teeth could help the battle against the Reds, haha. I love that stuff.

.....the actual art itself? Or the ideas? Because the ideas are great.

...but I'll play with communism if I want! ....or maybe not.

I don't really like the shirt colors.

haha

i LOVE the concept, but the shirt looks a little crowded. 5 anyway tho

agreed that it's too crowded... how do you think they'd look if you lined them up on one side, one after another, going down the shirt?

$$$$$$$$5555555555555555!!!!!!

haha.
do not play with communism.

this is really realy really great

nicely played, big $5

I am currently in a Post-Soviet country. I would wear this for sure!

wow! i love this shirt. great job. the red's a nice color for it.

THis is fantastic! I really hope they print this.

I would buy this for $30. Threadless, for the love of all things politically incorrect, PRINT THIS!

This is great, but I think it would be even better with just the "Do not play with communism" image. $5 anyway tho

In the name of Ron Burgendy, this is SUPERDUPER!

Do Not Play With Communismn should be in the center. 4$

I would like these A LOT more if they were individual designs. Make some prints of these as individuals, frame them and you've got a sale.

I need some new art on my walls.

Hey thanks everyone for all the comments! I understand that a lot of you feel its pretty crowded, I guess I was having so much fun with the images and the art that I wanted to get it all on there. I thought the several images helped provide a stronger punch to the final joke. Coming back to this shirt now though, after making it about two weeks ago, I think the communism boy could also work on his own for a funny shirt. Just him alone centered with sickle and hammer. Even so, I like them all together, its commentary on the time period. Thanks for all the comments!

I LOVE this! $5

this is probably the best shirt ever

I thik it would work better if you leave a couple of images out, but its a great shirt

My mom said not to play with Communism as well...5$

I absolutely LOVE this shirt! Even if it doesnt win, I've got to have it! As a political science major and a lover of all things vintage, it speaks to me. It reminds me of the old Dick and Jane books from my parents generation- that makes me want one for my dad too. The intellectual humor, FANTASTIC! I personally like it best in dark blue. [P.S. These past two designs of yours have been fantastically hilarious}

Wow man, this shirt made my day. If this design is accepted, I'm totally buying it. I do think a shirt with the boy alone would work well too. In any case, I love the design. Good work.

JUST the COMMUNISM one me thinks, but me could perhaps be wrong

i wish it just had the communism one then said "communism isnt a toy little johnny"
people have seen these ads enoughto get it (at least i have?)

More attention needs to be drawn to the communism one, since that's the point. It just blends in too much and would be overlooked in the bottom right

Nice shirt, but communism is kinda nice in theory even though it never works in real life.

too busy. well drawn tho

i'm a poli-sci major....this is one of the best shirts i've seen on threadless!! love it! 5$

AMEN, I LOVE IT. PRINT THIS PELASE SO I CAN BUY IT.
5$
p.s. VIVA LA REVOLUTION!

Love the do not play with communism, think it would be better with just that, or just three of them or something... but great either way.

excellent. it deviates from the usually threadless style considerably, but its all for the best. 5$ my friend. good job.

darnit! i missed the voting. nevertheless i woulda given it a 5$!

this has to get printed

Is this gonna print?

Why isn't this printed yet?
