They're also great for sneaking a tall can of Tecate into a baseball game.

Re: The best contraceptive!

Now that's a tall sombrero! You would think it would impress the ladies, but I'll take your word for it. :^)

Brilliant layout and design, Wences.

Re: The best contraceptive!

Hahaha! That's great!

Re: The best contraceptive!

Your designs are always great, but there is also the colors. I love your colors.

Re: The best contraceptive!

I work with the STD prevention department at our local health district. If this prints, I believe the entire staff will be getting one for Cinco de Mayo.

This is soooooo good. Nice work as always!

Re: The best contraceptive!

Too funny!!!:D

Re: The best contraceptive!

You have a fabulous sense of humor. Just a little racy, but ingenuous, too. Fabulous.

Re: The best contraceptive!

ha, when i first read the text without seeing the whole thing, the sombreros seemed very phallic haha, but then i saw the two people and it made me laugh, very charming as usual wals!

I teach reproduction in grade 9. I wonder if I can get away wearing this.

Re: The best contraceptive!

Nice sombrero! Voted!

Re: The best contraceptive!

hahahaha!

Re: The best contraceptive!

This is hilarious. Nicely done!

Re: The best contraceptive!

LOL, One more gargleblaster.

Re: The best contraceptive!

your sense of humor is a treasure matched only by your wit

Re: The best contraceptive!

The overall design rock, but I just love that character in the foreground!

Re: The best contraceptive!

This is just so well done. I love looking at it. I will be so disappointed if it doesn't print.

Re: The best contraceptive!

I totally agree with @lonelypond. You get better week after week.

Re: The best contraceptive!

Here's the plan. Sell these in tourist shops as souvenir shirts to unsuspecting tourists. You could spread the safe hat message all over the world walmazan.

Re: The best contraceptive!

I saw this dropped from the fog for a minute so I had to decide if it's replacement was worthy... Needless to say, welcome back. I hope you fight to the front of the fog. I want a few of these. Woot On!

Re: The best contraceptive!

No longer in the fog? Madness! Conspiracy! Murder!

Re: The best contraceptive!

I'm guessing that's the girl's dad giving the thumbs up!

I so enjoy the cheer your characters always express so well.

Urgh... for the first time ever I vote for a Walmazan shirt, and it immediately drops out of the fog.

Re: The best contraceptive!

Get back in the fog!! This is an outrage!

Re: The best contraceptive!

Love the artwork, but seems to be Offensive with Racial Profiling in more than one way. Assuming some particular race needs contraception? Or did I miss something here?

I'm Mexican, and we have sense of humor. I think is not offensive! But thanks for your comment.

Nice artwork.

Re: The best contraceptive!

Walz, I am so sad This is my favorite shirt out of the whole derby! I hope I get to buy it eventually!

Re: The best contraceptive!

I'm so disappointed this is out of the fog... This is one of the few designs I would of bought. Bah!

Re: The best contraceptive!

I was so sad that Gallows Humor didn't print. And now this one is teetering outside the fog? Sad day

Hopefully they do a re-sub derby soon.

Re: The best contraceptive!

Your main character is wonderful, and I love the silhouettes, especially the girl.
wonderful color palette as always, perfect presentation your artwork is always so likable, your skills always so apparent.

love it, hope it prints

Re: The best contraceptive!

As always, Walmazan rocks it. Hope you get a print this weekend man. I love the happy thumbs up the guy gives, it makes the design for me.

1) Even in a modern society, mentioning sex at all is taboo. Pathetic but true.

2) Woot's customer base is INCREDIBLY conservative. The word contraceptive is a dirty word to them even more than a normal person. Saying it implies people should have sex, and that's morally wrong. God is the best contraceptive.

3) The rare concerned woot citizen for social rights has, in the past, been offended by a rooster wearing a feathered native american headdress, abe lincoln pulling a giraffe out of his hat, and an abstract art piece where some were insistent they saw a swastika. An intentional one. A shirt about contraceptives will not fly with such people. Look at Plan B, in the long long ago. People apparently stopped realizing that "plan b" was a concept before a contraceptive, and insisted that that was what the tee was about (instead of a clip-art cash in mocking the last week's winner, which was also a clip-art cash in).

4) A creative juxtaposition of product and slogan is never going to fly at a site whose last slogan contest gave us "Looks Like Carmen was in San Diego." Wooters want something they can easily show off and have the highest possible number of other people giggle. That requires obvious and preferably

5) It's well done. Self explanatory, but for context, how many Walmazan tees have sold well after winning, compared to how many walmazan tees haven't been well done?

This is simply not a place good things win. Be appalled, but shocked?

I'm conservative, I'm Christian, and I voted for this shirt and bought the renamed "Special Delivery" from Wences/Walmazan. Nobody does risque'/"wait-did he just say that" quite as well as he does.

We (Christians) do have a sense of humor you know. And as far as the sex thing goes, my pastor actually did a sermon series on the subject.

That said, I can actually think of a couple of people within my own church who would buy this if it prints, and I'll post a link to my FB page if it does.

So, before bitterly clinging to your stereotypes and tropes, perhaps you should invest a bit more thought, eh?

*edit: fix illict to say invest. (Guess that is what I get for typing too quickly.)
