Shirt.Woot

I like it.... but I don't understand it all too well

Um, the newspaper is missing. I believe a newspaper is black and white and read all over as well.

I bet that penguin is still fighting the Cold War.

I don't get it.

I don't get the reference for this one.

funny, but the joke would have carried better if their outfits were in color.

also go capitalism of communism

Congrats Omnitarian! Great to see you get some well-deserved love at Woot. :D

The black and white part is from a common joke. The red part indicates that they are communists.

Saw this sideart on Teefury last week. Seemed like a lot of people were interested...if there were someway to contact them and get them here it might sell more!
That tip is free Woot. Cause I like you.

All those animals are black and white. And they are wearing communist hats thus they are "red"

They're all black and white animals. Plus, they're communist...

Didn't the U.S. recently bust some Russian spies living secret lives? Perhaps the greatest threat is still at large-- IN THE ZOOS!

Sweet. What's that -- 3 prints in 2 weeks? Wow!

"What's black and white and red all over?" A NEWSPAPERHURRR, etc. etc.

PS: I do love this shirt.

Isn't there supposed to be a blender in the mix?

I'm thinking that bird looks a lot more like a magpie than a raven...

That's some serious equipment the penguin is carrying...

If I didn't already know the joke that an embarrassed zebra's "black and white and red all over" then I would think that the animal on the right is like Hobbes, or something, after he got into a fight and got his nose punched hard, maybe.

There is no "I", there is only "we"!

The best part is definitely the all-too-serious penguin with the gun. I think I would buy the shirt if he was the only thing on it.

I, for one, am deeply offended by this shirt.

Also: It is a magpie

The red is part of the joke too. You probably already know that though. There are also like 10 different punchlines for that joke. I also first saw this as Teefury side-art. I think it's really clever, but I'm not sure if I want to buy it or not. I'm not exactly rolling in money.

First they got our dinosaurs, now they've gotten our bi-color animals! D:

Comrade Omni... I see you have defected over to that state with the many, many lakes. You make me sad to hear that, but happy to see you make this shirt!

In Soviet Russia, t-shirt buys you

Question: What's black and white and red all over?

Answer: "Russian Winter, broken hearts, cold winds in the dark."

I'll PM you my bank address for my share of the Woot money.

Please to God don't sellout when I wake up.

Why can't you just buy it now?

Lazy and ready to sleep.

Nice, glad to see this one here! :D

I minored in poli sci, and I dont get it either.

The animals are all black and white, but they're red cause they're commies!!!! haha statin' the obvious, but i love this shirt!

This post is full of puzzles and labyrinths.

Do they represent specific communist leaders? The one on the right (skunk) reminds me of Brezhnev.

Castro - Bay of Pigs perhaps?

In that company, I'd expect Mao to be third, but I don't get the bird (he did kill a lot of sparrows) - anyone?

Then there's Moses the Raven from Orwell's _Animal Farm_ - okay, I'm totally confused and must go to bed.

I sent a email to my brother, who knows much more than I do about such things...

edit: When I went to bed, I was thinking that maybe the one one the left was a zebra's body with a pig's nose, but I see a lot of you say it's just a zebra. I don't think the head looks like a zebra's, but maybe that's how a zebra came out when Omnitarian anthropormorphized it. Also, the cap with the star - that's Chinese Red Army, right?

what is black and white and red all over?
a commie zebra! (or penguin or skunk or raven...i guess) hahaha...

And this is how the Cold War was won by the USA...
