Cart Lonesome George looks for a wife
About the design
-------------------------------------------------------
SINGLE MALE TORTOISE looking for a single
female Pinta tortoise – any female Pinta tortoise.
I’m not picky! I enjoy martial arts movies, watching
Blossum re-runs, and unicorns. I dislike wasps, bad
oral hygiene, and scratchy underwear. Give me a call.
I’m lonely.
-------------------------------------------------------
Brief info on Lonely George:
Lonesome George is the last known survivor of a species of giant tortoise that once thrived on the island of Pinta in the Galapagos. The Pinta island tortoises were believed extinct until 1971 when National Park wardens discovered a single male tortoise on the island (George). And for the last 35 years scientists have been unsuccessfully trying to find a female Pinta tortoise to mate with George in hopes of preventing his species from going extinct.

Note: this design was meant to be a caricature of Lonesome George. It’s not supposed to be anatomically correct.

This is cute! They could all have a thought bubble with the female tortoise in it so everyone would know they are looking for Lonesome George's future wife. :D

For whatever reason I thought 40K was the maximum size you could submit an image at. So I apologize for the grainy appearance. The original is far cleaner.
Thank you for the comments.

I love this shirt so much. However, can I make a controversial suggestion? It needs the text on the back of it, or below the design, or whatever. The text makes it like five million times more awesome. ^_^

the story behind it is hilarious! i loveee it
ljluense
love it!!! i'd def buy! and i love the ad!!! and the finch!!! is that suppose to be darwin?
however, i think you need to put some sort of text to explain what's going on. i've been to the galapagos twice and i still didn't make the connection from looking at the art work alone. maybe throw the personal ad in somewhere, perhaps above the illustration, or have them side by side across the chest.

i like this because i just went to the Galapagos... i'd buy it, but i came back with 2 other lonesome george shirts. George isn't so lonesome though... he's just bored. I would be if i was cooped up in the cage hes in too.

I'm Jealous.

Excellent design...unfortunately it clashes with the t-shirt colour! a potentially good t-shirt ruined by fact it is camouflaged!
