"Cute Has A Flavor"

Just an old spin on a loony toons joke, as told with common kitchen spices!

Re: Cute Has A Flavor

Haha! Nice pun.

Re: Cute Has A Flavor

totally read it in their voices. very clever. +1

Re: Cute Has A Flavor

If you are going to do a pop culture reference it's a least nice to see something a little more obscure like an old Looney Tunes joke instead of the usual glut of mario/zelda/starwars

Your bunnies and ducks remind me of Peeps, I'll bet this would be fitting for Easter as well!

Re: Cute Has A Flavor

Sweet tee, Diana! The tiny duck and rabbit blobules capture the Daffy and Bugs feel very nicely.

Re: Cute Has A Flavor

I want this. +1

Re: Cute Has A Flavor

I *love* this! I was just thinking about this classic argument like a week ago. Very clever and well-drawn!

I must say that the text on the RABBIT SEASONING label bothers me. I really enjoy the uniformity of the fonts between the two shakers, except having the R and the T extend all the way down breaks that aesthetic! I think it would be best if either both the labels had extending letters (I know the D of DUCK cannot possibly do that, but technically the K could) or neither did. In this case, especially since the D cannot extend, I'd say neither is best!

But anyways -- this is AWESOME and I will buy it if it prints. GMV Good luck!

I tend to agree, the R and the T bother me a bit. Even though it's pretty and on a real label would probably do something like that, it does make the word "seasoning" harder to read, especially on a shirt where you want quick recognition rather than puzzled long stares at your chest area. I second Ritaroobias' suggestion to make it match Duck and shorten the R and T.

LOVE IT! ... but where is the "Baseball Seasoning?"

Re: Cute Has A Flavor

I must have missed that particular cartoon. I thought this was a commentary on the design process of certain wooters...ahem.

Re: Cute Has A Flavor

Perfectly amazing! Elmer Fudd must love these.

Re: Cute Has A Flavor

Love the concept, love the less than obvious reference. Great job.

Re: Cute Has A Flavor

Oooooh I get it! lololol! No, your design is very funny and readable, I'm just a little slow right now.

I like to imagine that the duck seasoning makes quacking sounds when you sprinkle it... what would the rabbit seasoning sound like?

I have a friend with a framed print of this. Could it have been your work? Same color and everything. Though I have to say, every time I look at the print I think it would be good on woot.

Re: Cute Has A Flavor

There's an extra layer to this joke when you factor in the artist's name.

Oh yes, that's also me. One of the first derbies I tried making art for was the "Cooking" derby. I came up with the idea right before that derby ended and didn't finish it until a week later because of all the tiny animals. That early version of this idea is the one your friend has. It was also 8 colors, which doesn't work on woot(and it had text which wasn't allowed for the "Cooking" derby either).

I was really happy when they announced this derby because it let me revisit the idea and completely redo and update it. =D

Re: Cute Has A Flavor

I'm voting for this even though you misspelled 'Wabbit'.

Re: Cute Has A Flavor

I must openly admit that I'm entertained that your piece is sprinkles.

I totally agree about the less than obvious reference. I really hate when people have to put so many words on their shirt to explain the humor behind it. This is perfect!

Re: Cute Has A Flavor

Too cute! I totally want this.

Re: Cute Has A Flavor

Good ol' Looney Tunes. This is classic!

Re: Cute Has A Flavor

As someone that grew up on Looney Toons I MUST have this!

Gimme!!
Can I be in for 8?

Re: Cute Has A Flavor

I will now always think of little black ducks and little white bunnies when adding salt and pepper to anything! gmv.

Now I feel kinda dumb. I looked at this shirt and immediately got the cartoon reference. But I didn't even catch that the duck seasoning is black like pepper and the rabbit white like salt. That just made it that much cooler to me. I too will now always see ducks and rabbits while using salt and pepper.

Re: Cute Has A Flavor

Awesome! Brings back fond childhood memories of singed duck feathers and beaks on backwards... :D

Re: Cute Has A Flavor

I really really love the pun/reference here! I remember watching looney toons when I was little. =)

I don't always buy the shirts I vote for, but when I do it'll be this one that takes $10 off my hands.

Re: Cute Has A Flavor

Hope this prints for you. It's a clever reference and an interesting take on a classic joke.

Re: Cute Has A Flavor

Very cute reference. I wish I liked green shirts.

Couln not agree more! I cannot get past the ugly green! we have the talking Christmas ornament of this cartoon! I heard their voices right away... But green!? Why green!

Re: Cute Has A Flavor

I *think* I've seen this before... maybe on your site or something, when I clicked on one of your links. I thought it was adorable then, and still adorable now!:D

I once heard a rabbit squeal like a guinea pig. Not only did it shock the crap out of me but it makes me giggle every time I see a bunny. I would assume they'd be making this noise.

Re: Cute Has A Flavor

Yay! I always love a tastefully done Looney Tunes reference. Great work!

Re: Cute Has A Flavor

Duck seasoning, FIRE!

Re: Cute Has A Flavor

I saw this and wanted to pull out my looney tunes set and watch it. I love this.

Re: Cute Has A Flavor

HAH, I totally love it. I did the voices in my head as well. Super creative.
