Derby #330: Classic Literature
Hey, this Derby's over. When you're finished reliving past glories, check out what's going on in the Derby right now. It's probably even cooler. Or at least newer.
Thesis: The works of classic literature provide a rich cultural backbone from which graphic shirt designers can draw inspiration.
Body Paragraph: From the story of Gilgamesh to the modern stylings of Ernest Hemingway et al, literature has been important. This is because literature helps people think about stuff they wouldn't otherwise think about. Indeed, without literature where would we be?
Conclusion: Designers at Shirt.Woot should make jokes about Hamlet and Don Quixote and stuff this week because we all know the references and it will be funny and stuff.
- Reference one or more works from the Top 100 list on Project Gutenburg (excluding the Kama Sutra and the Bible)
- No modern pop culture references
- No text-only designs
