Submitted by telaine on July 10, 2006

You betta spit out that gum!



Get your double-bubble, extra-large version in my profile. Enjoy!

tracerbullet

stingerstyler

sounds like an Urban Legend if you ask me... hehehe, great one!

i like it maybe on a different color background tho.

Jexwell

kinda neat

MrPlate

That better be "original" flavor gum, not the yicky "strawberry".

Yex

I would have liked it better with the text on the shirt

realslimnatey

ye old bubble gum myth! just like seeds and such, i still have yet to see branches growing out of my orifices though, maybe i should swallow some more seeds

good job on everything!

Thank you for all the awesome comments so far!

I posted more color choices in my profile so if you like lighter colors or just hate brown, go take a look!

stingerstyler:Haha, you're right. It kinda is an urban legend, by definition.

mrplate:It's all original, honey. I wouldn't make it any other way. ;)

i just saw a cartoon about this
but it was swallowing plastic gloves and a stethoscope growing out of your tummy

see...same thing

I like the idea, I could forsee a lot of people wearing this (probably girls). I think the bird could have been drawn better, he seems much less detailed in comparison to the rest of the drawing.

id buy it on the green in your blog.
yum.

and im glad thats the original bubblegum flavour because watermelon and strawberry taste soooooo nasty.

teechers_pet

That's pretty rad. $5

Jennifuhrer: I smell a sequel! ;)

surreal blue: I gave the bird a little cheek later on so it looks more like he's blowing that bubble and I think it really helps give him more detail. That updated image is in my profile.

and thanks asher and teechers pet!!

BrendaBT

needs to be a lighter background i can barely see the dark bits

holly golightly

yeah i agree about a lighter background or else i really like it.

The story I was told was that my insides would get all stuck up if I swallowed gum. But I still like the shirt. ;)

celticjess

Hmmm, I thought it was watermellon seeds and growing plants, and the gum will stay in your stomach for 7 years...? oh well.

Johnny Thunders

I think that the text should be included. Upon that, I give it a 3.

Placement...?

Thanks for the suggestions everyone :)

With the possibility that this would win, I'm sure Threadless would take any requests into account. So please don't let the text/no text debate affect your vote.

The centered placement is there but maybe your monitor is too dark to see the two different browns. There are other color possibilites in my profile.

Thanks again!

Being the artist, I would probably place the text in blue along the bottom, front seam of the shirt so it wouldn't interfere with the dominant design's balance.

I'd say sans text unless you can work it into the design in a not so obvious manner.

Include text on shirt!!

Freakin' cute.
