It has been a while since I created a new shirt design for my shop. This one screamed to be done. The great thing is it works whether you are part of the Occupy Wall Street (or Elm Street) crowd AKA the 99% or if you are part of the 1% crowd. See how democratic I am. Appropriate for all political spectrums and income levels.

ha, playing both sides. oh so very clever mr. bearman
It’s what I do. Play both sides and I come out the winner.
If you call that winning.
As long as someone buys something, I win.
“Play both sides and I come out the winner.”
Reminds me of the dirty old Italian man in Catch-22, who said that Italy was the strongest nation on earth – because it was the weakest. The young soldier he talked to was a patriotic American soldier of 20. The old man lived to be 107 because had no loyalties at all.
It’s a compliment, Bearman, to your wit.
All I heard was you were saying I was weak.
I’m offended AND inspired! PERFECT!!
Just where I like you.
nice one, Bearman ! 😆
Thanks Dunc.
Pretty clever playing both sides. I’ve always tried to take no sides with my writing but maybe there’s a place in the middle that would allow me to offend both sides equally.
The Fonz called and he said he is always offended by the stuff you write about him.
Hahah! That’s great
Thanks Nate.
I like it. I’ve got a caption to go in small letters at the bottom of the shirt:
“If you can’t be number one, you’re number two.”
Is this a bathroom reference?
If you can’t be #1 then get the hell outta my street
I like that line writerdood
well said writterdood… I love an ‘inside’ bathroom joke 😉
An astute businessman knows how to get money from both ends. This looks lie it could be a decent seller for you. I like it. Can you tell me what font you used, or is it an Ancient Chinese Secret?
28 days or something like that. Not at my computer. Maybe one day I’ll teach you how I do my distressed look too.
The title had me wondering if you were in the 1%. How many 1%’ers blog? I do recall there was a social site created for them but I forgot the name of it.
Dateanoldmillionaire.com????
Well done Bearman, well done.
Have a terrific day. 🙂
Thanks Sandee.
Hey I need one of those!!!
Would Tony allow that?
Most cartoonist do not treat their star characters fairly, and I suspect Tony is just the same. Down with cartoonists, and up with cartoons!
You only say that because Peter is too shy to retort.
I try not to let him out of the basement too much. He’s sensitive to the light.
Halloween is the perfect time then for him.
I gave in to their demands during the Rat strike & sent them on an awesome adventure didn’t I??? What could be fairer than that???
And you didn’t erase them…so
I would not only allow it, I would encourage it…
Very clever. I see a this selling big.
So far I haven’t seen it sell at all. haha
It also works for people who have no inkling about politics whatsoever! I’m not sure why, but I think it has something to do with irony…
I hate ironing.
Awesomely inspired!
Thanks G
I like this one Bearman it
is one of those ‘Up Yours’
types of T Shirts…
It will have many
uses I know that 🙂
Up Yours shirts are all the RAGE..haah Thanks. Good to see you over here.
Nice. You’re gonna sell a million of ’em!
I’d be happy with 10
Is this an alternative version to the “I’m With Stupid” design?
If only I could make it that popular
covers both sides??? depends on what a side is, and as long as I don’t have to sit in the middle I will be okay! (better bring some tissue)
My hubby would love it, must put on xmas list… heheehe
Are we talking politically or a car ride?
I’m tempted. Think of the scandal I’d cause at the bus stop…”Oh! My! God! Did you see what she’s wearing? Can you even believe it?” It would shake things up a bit. Hmmm, now you’ve got me thinking…that could be dangerous.
I still think dressing up in costume at the bus stop everyday would get things talking even more.
Can I order a “I Am The 99%” tee thanks Bearman 🙂 I promise I will get you footage with my Go Pro running through a crowd of 1%s!!!
Hey and why am I way down here on the comment list?
Obviously because your comments are not highly valued. And I guess mine are even less so.
I have no idea what you are asking Loon? And you are last because you came late
Yeah, but Binky was later!!!!
Perth is currently hosting CHOGM (Commonwealth heads of government meeting) and the city is in lockdown for three days because the Queen and all heads of states are here. Hmm and so too are thousands of “Occupy” protestors. So wearing a “I’m one of the 99%” tee shirts would be quite funny or dangerous at the protest 🙂 Sheez, do I have to explain everything????
I didn’t make any I am the 99% tshirt. I made I am the 1% tshirts. That’s what I don’t get.
If this is the shirt you are talking about order the shit, you think I am running a charity here?
bahahahah. love it! um. sorry i haven’t been around… the engagement ended and life has been a mess. and no, i didn’t get cold feet. and yes, it was the right decision. but sssh, don’t tell anyone!
miss you!
Sorry to hear that. Hope life gets better.
I don’t know if it’s the same with the finger, but the cops made me take off a t-shirt that had the f word on it. The f words!
F that! Were you in jail or something
Nope. If I hadn’t taken off the t-shirt I would have been though. They made that very clear.
You need to think about what you wear to the policeman’s ball next year.
Aşkınla başım dönerken, vursalar ölemem!
I do love turning your head bobo.
You never cease to amuse me! LMAO
The day I do is the day I quit
Now I’m all confused, Bearman
(that finger was always number 3 on my calculator)!
🙂
Your calculator had fingers?
