the squirrel animal

I like t-shirts that are simple.

Not banal, but right to the point and easy to understand.

The Squirrel t-shirt by PaperPlain is a great example of a t-shirt done right. It isn't overloaded with complex artwork or dozens of colors, it's a brown (like fur) comfy (like fur) t-shirt, with a white outlined drawing of a squirrel on it. If you were walking down the street wearing this t-shirt, people might correctly assume that you like squirrels.

Although, I guess another way to look at this t-shirt would be to say that it is a t-shirt for people who hate squirrels (or for people who have sciurophobia). I suppose they would be imagining that this t-shirt is actually a beautifully rendered chalk outline of a squirrel who has met its demise for scurrying where it didn't belong.

You know those crime scene outlines that show the victim's last position? If the CSI team was on the case, I'm sure they could tell by the positioning of the front paws, and the direction of the tail, that something horrible happened to this poor squirrel. Well, as long as the head of the CSI team wasn't David Caruso (H) from CSI Miami. That guy couldn't tell you if it was daytime or nighttime, let alone do his job in a competent manner.

But I digress. See how complicated things can get?

It's better to keep things simple. Better that things are straight to the point.

Paperplain sells supercool animal t-shirts in a variety of styles and colors.

I wear my "The Squirrel" t-shirt on Wednesdays, just because it feels right.

When will you wear yours?
