Shirt.Woot

not a moped.

I was reminded of my Thing That Scoots tee when I saw this.

On the one hand, the double scarf thing is kinda cute. On the other hand, if the guy on the back slips off, they're both totally screwed.

cute. I wonder how high the placement is? Are they going to be on your belly? Or your chest?

Think I would rather them zoom across my chest. I think

I hoped that a penguin in shades would be riding a Harley, not a moped.

Don't they have helmet laws where they are?

huh? is this a parody of something?

I worry that a penguin can't properly use the handbrake without thumbs.

A huge number of people subscribe to a misconception that mopeds are scooters and/or that scooters are mopeds.

Mopeds are otherwise ordinary bicycles with motors attached to the chain. They can be optionally driven by (mo)tor or by (ped)al, hence the name. Scooters are scooters. You can't pedal a scooter. It's not a moped.

Apples and oranges, people. Apples and oranges.

Viva Chill Guevara.

This would be an amazing gift for my girlfriend....If only it wasn't on yellow...if only

X10 million. Mopeds have freakin' PEDALS. Scooters do NOT have pedals.

Ergo, if no pedals exist then you be a scooterist.

The confusion arises from the fact that some smaller scooters are legally classifiable as mopeds in some jurisdictions. But you are quite correct in that nobody with even a basic knowledge of scooters could confuse a Vespa-style step-through frame scooter with a moped.

(Also, after all the quasi-bootleg shirts featuring video game characters, I'd be amused if it's Piaggio that ends up sending Woot a C&D over intellectual property issues. That is SO obviously a Vespa LX that it isn't even funny.)

So conflicted!

Hate of penguins vs Love of Diana's style.

GNNNNGH.... *head explodey*

It's a cute design, and the colors pop on the Lemon tee--but so help me I cannot unsee the two front, low lights and tire bumper as glaring eyes and a frown.

If this print was on a green shirt, it would make a nice Christmas shirt. Though its still pretty cute and cool on the yellow. So thumps ups!!!

Is that a scooter or a Vespa?

This reminds me of Eddy Izzard's bit about scooters. Do these penguins look fascist to you?

The Motorcycle Diaries probably - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0318462/

I'm not sure what the connection is between Che Guevera and penguins... :P

Colors look great on Lemon!

I wouldn't ride a scooter on the ice.

I love it! Sadly, yellow does NOT love me. Sadness and woe!

Decisions, decisions ... I have three silly penguin shirts already ... do I really need a fourth one?

I know there's a quip in here about a flying moped trip to Hogwarts, but my clever ran out on me this evening.

Bzzzzzzzzzzzzz......

Ciao.

/apologies to Eddie Izzard

Really bummed about the yellow. Kid's own all the other penguin woot shirts, but the yellow will not work for this. I still dream of a day with 2 color options.

Looks like they are living out the European Dream.

Too bad I look absolutely sickly in yellow...

I didn't see this comment! I thought I was going to be the first person to make the witty Eddie Izzard reference.

Though I thought they were living out the European dream..

The first thing I thought of when I saw the shirt was the video from Pigloo "Ca Plane Pour Moi" driving their scooter type snowmobiles.

So I guess its a Pigloo on a Piaggio

Did you HAVE to put "Ice, Ice Baby" in the description??

Now it's going to be stuck in my head until the next "Theme for Wooting Off" comes out!!!

Nice color choices and very cool highlights. Really sparkles Diana Congrats.

These penguins are bad-a**es!

a scooter AND it's yellow?! oh hells ya!

Can you really go wrong with hipster penguins?

This would look soooo much better with bunnies!

...nuff with the penguins already!

YAY penguins! I think I was on a "penguins riding complex machinery" phase when I did this one. I've been trying to get better at mechanical things with mixed results, I really want to draw some cars but they defeat me every time. I think I'm getting better though this machine turned out nice.

The halftones should be smooth on the final print... woot just forgot to Ctrl + alt + shift + E to make a flat layer before screen capping the image for the preview.

Oh Photoshop and your weird way of showing the edges of other colors when they are on separate layers. =/

If you ride it like a bike it's a moped, if you sit on it like a toilet its a scooter. This is not a moped this is a scooter.

Wow! This is stunning! I adore the color scheme; the design really pops. Fantastic job

Did the thumbnail make anyone else think of The Animaniacs?
