Derby #117: Halloween

No More Mr. Nice Guy!

I love this, but it's not incidental text.

Rejected because: I love this, but it's not incidental text.

Take out the slash in the first [/img] and that should do the trick.

Also, this might not be considered "incidental" text. But, that's for woot to decide.

Ah, I see you were able to get your img to display. Disregard my initial post.

Too much text. Far, far too much. Even if it doesn't get rejected and somehow manages to place, I don't think the text will not print well. You can look at Nevermore for an example.

The enemy's gate is down.
Writers are people too! (Albeit strange ones.)
Save Poe! Reckon Nevermore! Or he'll be head-locked forevermore!

Do you have a web comic, your art tells me that you should. I like it a lot.

Seconded ... plus, there's having to look hard at a shirt and then there's having to stop and read it for five minutes ... plus, is that a Woot shirt color? Doesn't look to me like asphalt, and it certainly isn't heather grey.

Great as a webcomic, as someone said--or maybe a poster. Not good, I think, as a shirt.

I agree. The text completely overpowers the design. It actually hurts my eyes to try and read. I'll be surprised if it's not rejected.

Btw...I have Nevermore, and the text looks just fine.

Everything is art.

I disagree with the text completely overpowering the design, as while it works as a design element, I don't think it has to be read at all for the shirt's message/joke to come across.

IMHO, anyone who's read enough vintage comics has seen the old 'Charles Atlas' type ads hundreds of times, and will grasp and appreciate the parody almost immediately from the pictures alone.

There is a typo in the "28 Days Later" square. It says "I don't feel to good", but should really say "I don't feel too good" - two O's needed in "too".

Totally love it. Although it does feel a little more teefury then woot. I'd buy either way though

OH... guess the text would do it. That's a shame. This would make a damn nice shirt.
