Retired Shirts

Posted:

I like wearing funny shirts.  I have a lot of them.  So many in fact, that I have an entire dresser full of them, and I have to restrain myself from buying more unless I really, really like one I find.

Unfortunately shirts eventually get worn out to the point that they're no good to wear anymore, so I'll “retire” them to the trash bin.

These two shirts I actually retired several years ago, so I had to look up images of them, but I still think about them because they were gifts from my sister C.J. who died of pancreatic cancer.

This first shirt featured a scene form the newspaper comic “The Far Side” by Gary Larson in which the wildlife is trying to break into a car of safari-goers.  The bottom-left of the shirt had a small image of one of the animals picking its teeth with a coat hanger.

The second one featured a scene from the newspaper comic “Mother Goose and Grimm” by Mike Peters, with Santa Claus on the phone lodging a compaint about his order.
