I think if the layout was a bit different this would be much more of a 5 for me. Right now the layout makes it feel too flat. If the grill was more in the foreground and the cow was back from it like she had just knocked it over and was on the run.

Great illustration and concept. I love to grill.

redglasscurls

Love the concept, but I have to agree with bortwein on the changes

I just don't like green tshirts... good idea

Big Ed

No, man, I love it on the green. Makes it look like you're grilling in the yard.

streetwise

great idea, like the green shirt.

i'm vegan so this = love. 5$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ one for all my friends :))))

Jane!

yes, the green shirt definitely lends an air of authenticity to the pissed-offedness of Bessie.

weird color cow

I like this a lot, but then, I have about three green Threadless tees, I don't get why people don't like them. I like the style, and I think the cow is totally in proportion given the perspective. It look me a minute to get the joke, but I think I might buy this.

At first I thought it was a reference to the Great Chicago Fire.

"According to the legend, the Great Chicago Fire was started by a cow that belonged to an Irishwoman named Catherine O’Leary. She ran a neighborhood milk business from the barn behind her home and carelessly leaving a kerosene lantern in the barn after her evening milking, a cow kicked it over and ignited the hay on the floor."

Then I had to think why Bessie would be a hero ? Oh ya....Chik-fil-A...eat more chicken. That's it.

the values in the cow are a little too flat.

Looks wonderful on the shirt.

I'd wear it because I'm vegetarian. :]

And I actually like the green.

BestInSmallDoses

i'd like it better if it weren't so realistically illustrated.

stolen_bliss

HAHA!!! If this is printed, I'm buying it for both my vegetarian friends, who actually share the same birthday.


Hell, since I'm "half-vegetarian", I might buy this for myself as well.

5 + Buy

honeybises

That's fantastic.

There aren't enough different meanings to the term 'cow tipping'

THANKYOU
