I suspect you will want to use my three most favorite Sheridan cartoons.

Here's a point I need clarified by the group...
I am wondering if the cartoons NEED the caption or if they stand alone as artwork of interest.
Will people need the fine print on a shirt?

I think the captions go with the artwork, enhance it, give it the full meaning of Sheridan's incredible sense of humor. To leave the words out would diminish his artistry!

I highly agree with BooDawg.
My favorite choice would be fred in the clouds, "Say Fred,I think you're off route", and second choice would be the cowboy/sheriff rapping off the snake on the desert tower.(both posted on page 1)

I fully understand that these cartoons need the caption to make the most sense but as Tami points out it does not always make sense on apparel. I am leaning toward INCLUDING the captions just because that is (I feel) the way Sheridan would have wanted it.

How about putting the cartoons on the back and having the caption on the placket?

Oops! I forgot about the climbers are normal cartoon. Include that one too.
And I vote for captions.

I saw one last night that I'd forgotten about.
A snake charmer in dhoti and turban jumaring up a rope which ascends from
a coil on the ground, with the end a few feet above the charmer.

Inside front cover of 69 Ascent, I think, so it may be in a thread from
Tarbuster from a couple years ago.
Found it:

So, uhh, Tami...I ran into Josh the other night at the climbing gym (of all places...ha ha). Told him I miss the Pika t-shirts. Said he still had the screens...
Hmmm...
Cheers!

My personal take is that the words are as important as the graphics. Otherwise the artist wouldn't leet them be there. If you are going commercial with Sheridan's brilliant work you owe it to him to present the whole - wit of word and play of pen - 'toon. That said I confess that I do like the idea of the text on the placard.

I am now FIRMLY convinced the words belong. They will appear.
Printing on the placket always looks cool and might be an interesting compromise. Of course the "independent" designs like Batso and the jugging guru avoid this issue altogether!
Brian and Tami... let me know if I can be of assistance...

That is pretty wild Doug!
Biggest nymph in his selection to be sure...and a major commitment of wall space!
Thanks for rolling it out to share.

I met Sherri once in TM, sometime around 75. He was a walking smile, happy to be alive, living life to the fullest. Don't remember much more than that because the TM store had just received a delivery of cold beer and.....
