ITS NOT CANADIAN BACON. its bacon, and its canadian.
why is everyone so literal? same thing with the muffin. its a muffin, and its english. no, its not an english muffin, but it is. ahh, nevermind, ftw.

i get what you are trying to say. but if most people think litterally then it would be harder to put across what you have here. just saying that sometimes you have to go against what you like to please the crowd.

I'm torn- the illustrations are extremely cute, but the nationality stuff is all a little too far off for me. I think if you found a way to make canadian bacon and an english muffin fun to draw, maybe used a u-shaped kielbasa and made the french bread actually french bread instead of a slice of something *holding* french bread... it'd be great. just a lot of little things that are frustrating if I let me brain think too hard, I guess. But I must say, still ridiculously cute little foods.
tomburns
   tomburns on Nov 17 '06
its french toast, not french bread. the way the illustration is constructed, each character is : nationality=adjective, food item=noun. pretty simple. i really dont see how anyone couldnt 'get it' right off the bat. thanks for the comments though!

oh and one small thing:
the hat on the english muffin is a bit difficult to make out. maybe if you made it slightly bigger or something....just right now it sort of blends into the muffin.
but i love!

Aww... I got it right off the bat. It's cute. My only criticism is that your toast should look more toasty. Right now it's just a slice of bread. Pop that baby in the toaster. ;-)

Once I went with friends to get donuts. I was feeling kind of down, so they thought they'd cheer me up and draw a face on my donut like this: ^____^

Then my friend took a bite out of that donut, and I started crying. I realized I can't eat things that make faces or have faces on them. D:

_heycarmelina
_heycarmelina on Nov 19 '06
stewy and speak_easy: there's a whole set of jokes centered around Polish people being stupid or slow. Think blonde jokes or lawyer jokes-- that sort of thing.

I don't know if that's what the designer intended, but it's how I interpreted the upside-down flag.
tomburns
   tomburns on Nov 19 '06
haha, stewy, its basically because i was trying to portray stereotypes up on this design, and hes got his flag upside down like hes not too bright. not trying to offend anyone, cause im pretty sure not all french people wear berets and have mustaches either, haha ;)
** i think its awesome that a dude from denmark commented on the danish!!! :)
.onion
.onion on Nov 19 '06
Funny! But I don't like the placement... I would rather it be only one or two rows, with the characters smaller but their flags a bit more noticeable.
LongLiveQueequeg
LongLiveQueequeg on Nov 20 '06
clever, completely comprehensible by people who don't spend all their time quibbling over design details on threadless, though placement, as onion said, could use some work. i always wondered what the fuck "continental breakfast" meant anyway.

It's "cute," so that automatically makes it a winner on Threadless. This place is turning into the Disney Store.

...That said, Walt Disney was a positive inspiration here, and the art is pretty good.

Just kidding. How can you make it look any more canadian? It's carrying a HOCKEY STICK for crying out loud. This made me smile.

Maybe i've got the post-Kramer-sensitivity blues, but that sausage... upsets me. I cannot lie.
tomburns
   tomburns on Nov 20 '06
i know, im sorry man, but i couldnt for the life of me think of another trait or stereotype associated with polish peeps. i thought about evening the score and adding a slice of nazi german chocolate cake, but i wasnt ready to take that on, thats a little over the line even for me! (plus its really not a breakfast food) - i guess i could change it to italian sausage and give him some gold chains and a hairy chest? haha, then i would need green for the flag i think...
staffell
staffell on Nov 20 '06
haha some of the comments in this blog are hilarious. Nice work Tom, but I do think you've severly suffered from the 4 colour restriction. It would have also been nice to have more foods+countries. Damn shame.

hobwicki on Nov 20 '06
one of the first things i noticed was the sausage holding his flag upside down. i laughed out loud. and i'm polish. people just have to learn to laugh at themselves i guess.as for making the bacon of canadian heritage(?) and the muffin of english heritage look more like "canadian bacon" and an "english muffin" i'm not too sure those would be as easily recognized.so, the long and short of it is, i like it. $5

Europe, as a whole, is very pro-nationalism. That being said, no matter how stupid the Pole, I think they would sport the flag properly. Especially since having the red portion on top and the white on the bottom represents anther country. The country of Indonesia, to be exact.

Good job, otherwise!
tomburns
   tomburns on Nov 20 '06
maybe all the other foods are really just upside down. in that scenario, he is the only one holding his flag correctly! :)

Bessyboo on Nov 20 '06
Cute shirt; all the debate is ridiculous. *eyeroll* People need to learn to take things at face value. And I vote for blue over the red.
hometownzero
hometownzero on Nov 20 '06
I like it a lot. Yeah, my first thought was "that's not an english muffin" but I got over it rather quickly. The flags complete the jokes, and that's enough for me. I love the little details too, tea, viking helmet, hockey stick, baguettes, beer. I am Belgian though, and part of me wants a square waffle. Regardless, I still love the shirt. Looks better on blue, by the way (too much red in the flags).
bonsoirmel
bonsoirmel on Nov 20 '06
I love how you've done this, but I think there are too many characters, so it becomes more of a looking-hard-at-it instead of getting-it-instantly thing. How about just picking the 3 most obvious ones and have them only, with slightly bigger flags? Or, you could split into two groups, one for blue shirt one for red... still giving it a 4 though :)

hey there is a difference between nationalism and misunderstanding. What i see now is a Monaco flag and not a Polish flag when you turn the US flag upside down it won't make a change as it is recognisable but the Polish flag is just one way the other makes it a Monaco :D and people i don't consider myself as stupid and i am Polish, wearing berets and having moustaches is far better then being portrayed as a dork. and comments like "Poland is always getting conquered" shows only that ignorance is a bliss. The design is very cool but i would drop the stereotypes...
