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.

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

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

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

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

$5.

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

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

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.

To Tonteau: Those are some of his rolled ciggies.

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.

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.

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

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

I'd only buy w/ the text

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.
