Comments on: Venn diagram tee shows the bittersweet between happy and sad http://boingboing.net/2009/11/12/venn-diagram-tee-sho.html Brain candy for Happy Mutants Thu, 23 May 2013 15:16:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 By: wrybread http://boingboing.net/2009/11/12/venn-diagram-tee-sho.html#comment-634369 wrybread Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 #comment-634369 Agreed, that 1997 line makes the shirt. I love the illustration, didn't expect to love the giant paragraph of text, since giant paragraphs of text have no place on a tshirt, but wow that's good. I still think the shirt would be better if it were purely graphical, but that's just me probably. Agreed, that 1997 line makes the shirt.

It's a contraction of "tomorrow is", looks like proper usage to me. How is the apostrophe “feral”? It’s a contraction of “tomorrow is”, looks like proper usage to me.

But there is a certain age its aesthetic seems to be geared for, betrayed by everything from the font to the juxtaposition between the "honesty" of the writing and the formality of its all-caps, and especially, as if this gives the whole game away, the reference to 1997.

And I consider myself a good googler! But I *still* couldn't believe no one had done it. I mean, come ON -- it's too simple to be new. I'm just not full enough of myself to think I'd really gotten there first -- but after the first 20 searches I realized I'd gotten there first enough to not be stepping on anyone's toes. I think it's a different concept, execution, and intent, so I'm not embarrassed you found the image I couldn't -- I'm honestly a little *relieved* that the rule of "everything's been done in some form or close" is safe again.
