Design #35: Show me your tie

Posted on by Standard Reply

In episode 17 of season 9 called “Lisa the Simpson” Lisa struggles with the fact that she is slowly losing her intelligence thanks to the Simpson gene. Ultimately this does not happen as the gene is only applicable to Simpson men. The side plot of this story is that Apu turns the Kwik-e-Mart into a Freak-e-Mart after finding Jasper frozen in one of his freezers. While he remains the star attraction, one of the side shows is the offensive baseball cap. As Rod and Todd are about to read it saying show me your tits, Ned covers their eyes and says it says show me your tie, it’s cute let’s go. I chose to recreate this product in a non offensive fashion.

Here’s the link to the product as a sticker, but you can view the design on multiple items if you’re interested.

Design #34: Genius at Work

Posted on by Standard Reply

Ah the classic episode from season 8 episode 14 called “”The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show”. From the golden era and contains so many great lines. In short Itchy & Scratchy show is dropping in ratings and they decide to add Poochie, voiced by Homer to the show and that does ultimately not work out. And how can forget how the Simpsons mirrored this by adding Roy living with them out of left field. When the voice actors are holding a conference and a nerd wearing this shirt is promptly put in his place.

Design #33: I’m a stupid baby

Posted on by Standard Reply

This design is from the golden era episode called “Home Sweet Homediddly-Dum-Doodily” which is episode 3 in season 7. In this episode Marge and Homer lose the kids to a foster home and have to take a class on having a happy home. In classic Simpsons fashion, the kids end up at the Flanders house of course. In one scene Maggie is seen wandering around with a note on her calling her a stupid baby, so why not tell the world you’re a stupid baby too?

Design #32: Rich Bitch

This design comes from an episode called “Fat Man and Little Boy” which is the fifth episode of season 16. Homer essentially lives the dream when he quits his job because his son is making a ton of money. Bart begins designing crude t-shirts and starts selling them in stores owned by Goose Gladwell, who owns stores that sell all sorts of novelty toys. As you can imagine, I’ve got this episode saved as there are a ton of other simple shirt design I plan on recreating.

Design #30: Bullseye

In season 11 episode 14 called “Alone again, Natura-diddily” Homer paints his stomach with ketchup as a bullseye in an attempt to get hit with a t-shirt gun. But unfortunately a bobby-pin on the ground catches his eye and he moves out of the way of a flying t-shirt. This leads to Maude Flanders getting hit, falling to her death and killing off her character. If you don’t want to get messy with ketchup you can buy this design instead.

Design #20: Dignity

Posted on by Standard Reply

Possibly one of the greatest Simpsons scenes of all time comes from season 8 episode 6 called “A Milhouse Divided”. Although the final result of the scene is Luann demanding divorce, which is a serious topic, the lead up is hilariously absurd. The eyebrow, the awkward comments at dinner, cornstarch keeping down the urges, the portrayal of dignity during charades, the commotion of Lisa’s singing, and Allied Biscuit. There’s a reason this scene, and Kirk’s drawing of dignity, is an absolute classic that has spawn countless Simpsons shitposts. So it was only natural that I make this a design in my shop. On a side note, the first sale for this design was not on a t-shirt or some other commonly purchased item. It was in an acrylic block as pictured below. That along makes me cry with laughter. Simpsons fans will get an instant kick out of it on someone’s mantle while those who don’t know what it is may believe it’s a piece of modern art.

Design #17: Die Bart Die

Posted on by Standard Reply

Not really a background item that I replicated, but I figured that tattoos can also work as designs on shirt. I know, I’m a genius. The one is from a golden era episode called “Cape Feare” which is episode 2 of season 5. It involves Sideshow Bob being released from prison and the Simpsons being put into the witness relocation program. Among many brilliant jokes, how Bob brushes off the accusation that he has this tattoo on his chest that says “Die Bart, Die” is pure gold as well as the follow up quip from the courtroom. For this one rather than just use simple text, I decided to make it more accurate to the cartoon style, as it looks more authentic as a poorly done prison tattoo.
