This design is not an endorsement for smoking.
It is all in fun. Here is a brief overview of the characters:
1-Percy, the "Pack-a-Day" Pachyderm.
2-Wanda, the "Pipe Puffing" Anaconda.
3-"Old School" Pete the Panther (because he prefers hand-rolled cigarettes).
4-Opus X, the "Cigar Aficianado" Monkey.
5-Finally, "Zippo" the Hippo (Self-Explanatory).
Please Enjoy.

Hilarious! Nice work ! $4

theworldinyour_eyes on Apr 26 '06

awesome. i'd actually like it with the text--that would make it look like the cover of a children's book gone horribly, horribly wrong. ;P

$5

joshamman on Apr 26 '06

better with the text AND the warning label

Ellsswhere on Apr 26 '06

this is very well done and hilarious... as joshamman said, id actually like to see the text maybe on the sleeve or back collar, it just adds to the theme so well 5

Ohh I love this. Yeah, maybe the warning label would be nice.

Big Ed on Apr 26 '06

Buyers should get a flip-top hippo with the purchase of every shirt.

BloodyMidget on Apr 26 '06

shrink it a tiny bit and include all of the text and this is a 5$...as it is 4.

dancingwithmyconfusion on Apr 26 '06

lol amazing. i love the title and the characters etc

AlexJ on Apr 26 '06

Please add the text and warning label - this shirt is awesome.

trishxtrash on Apr 26 '06

I LVOE IT!!

Smegmoon on Apr 26 '06

Yes, text and label.

ToucanSam on Apr 26 '06

With the Surgeon General's Warning on the sleeve or bottom corner, and possibly the title below the picture.

$5.

rudra on Apr 26 '06

absolutely NEEDS both the text and warning label

bleedingxinside on Apr 26 '06

I would only buy it if it had the warning label

R'son-W on Apr 26 '06

Haha! $5!

luciasaurus on Apr 27 '06

put the text on the sleeve. :)

yossyz on Apr 27 '06

Yeah I love the text, too bad is an ad for Zippo but putting in the sleeve or something sounds like a good idea.

lucyfarfort on Apr 27 '06

This is a really crazy idea and design its ace!! I would buy this

lucyfarfort on Apr 27 '06

Oh yeah agree with the others about keeping the warning on.

riversisgod on Apr 27 '06

Good God, great job! As mentioned before me, the label would in fact add more humor. sleeve, waist area, wherever. and cute with the names and all. 5

Hontchouk Alexandre on Apr 27 '06

well done/

Tonteau on Apr 27 '06

It would be nice if there was some smoke coming out of the pipe and off the cigar and the tab end.

Also, what are the the white lines underneath pete the panther? He doesn't have a coke habit too, does he?

Those queries aside, it's great Illustration.

kc_6201 on Apr 27 '06

To Tonteau: Those are some of his rolled ciggies.

.starfag on Apr 27 '06

i agree. put the warning on the sleeve or something. i also agree with theworldinyoureyes. it kind of would look neat as a childrens book gone wrong. you could have "zippo the hippo and his smokin jungle buddies in large letters" and "featuring Percy the "Pack-a-Day" Pachyderm, Wanda the "Pipe Puffing" Anaconda, "Old School" Pete the Panther, and Opus X, the "Cigar Aficianado" Monkey." in smaller letters underneath or something. i don't know. it's funny anyway.

wrestle_this on Apr 27 '06

Haha I love the monkey beard... old skool... excellent design 5$

mrhiide on Apr 27 '06

Animals smoking is an ancient source of amusement. Not only poker playing dogs, but many famous smoking chimps, going back to the 19th century. Here, it seems a bit overdone.

kaloyster on Apr 27 '06

the tiger rolling a fatty is FUKIN' HILARIOUS!

Emmaline87 on Apr 28 '06

warning label on the sleeve would be funny.

Cinnamongir1 on Apr 28 '06

Warning label on the sleeve would put this over the top.

twat on Apr 28 '06

Leave the Zippo the Hippo text on there and it'd be even better. The surgeon general's warning shouldn't go on it though

d.profound on Apr 29 '06

I'd only buy w/ the text

MaryWithoutAsound. on Apr 29 '06

Add the text (including warning label) and shrink the image, i think.

NinerzNina on Apr 30 '06

I would definitely buy this and it would be 10 times better WITH the surgeons general warning and text. This is awesome.

nerdical nurse on Apr 30 '06

lmao
Great. XD
I really love this and would buy it even without the text and surgeon's warning, even though I agree it would be better with those.

$5

Gromit on May 01 '06

the text kinda makes it, i love it, nice job

Robsoul on May 01 '06

hilarious work, nice illo

Moosekisser on May 01 '06

what everyone else said, add the text and the label.
great job!

evildaemonlady on May 02 '06

This wouldnt be allowed in a public school hallway. While I like it, it is very..blunt and obvious. A subtler portrayal would be better.

we the people on May 02 '06

i love it, i have so many friends who would love this shirt. but yeah add the character descriptions on the back maybe? and stick in the warning on a sleeve, keep the title, etc. but...it's still fucking awesome

bigkate_48 on May 02 '06

Add the text and the label. I love that you gave all the characters pseudo back-stories. I would have totally done that.

outlawpencil on May 03 '06

Good design, but I'd pick your favorite blue character and the orange hippo. I think that's really all you need. I know I keep saying 'smaller and simpler', but I still believe it.
