Teefury

wow thats really cool

Yessss!~

Cool story bro.

very cool, congratz on getting the shirt printed

ouch...! nice.

So wait, why are we extinct? Pretty sure I'm still right here!

This is awesome! a little busier than i'm used to on a shirt but still pretty rad

Love.

seems too serious for me, good design though

I like it, but I think the stupid humans will survive the smart ones through natural selection. :/

XD This made me smile, to bad I have no money TT.TT

nice true story we are on our way to it

Stexe said: So wait, why are we extinct? Pretty sure I'm still right here!

We're going to be because we're killing ourselves.

So if humans are extinct, who are gonna wear the shirts?

Man, im going threw TeeFury with drawl lately. The last shirt i bought was the grab bag!!! Nice design but too busy for me.

"Human" . . . *dies of sudden heart attack*

I thought it was just spelled "Quagga"?

Too dramatic.

You mean: If humans are extinct, who are going to make the shirt?

wait, so aurochs are/were real? GRRM kinda left it open as to what they were. I was thinking some sort of deer, myself.

and I have a friend who is 7' tall and hairy. He'll not be liking the Sasquatch one. ;p

I actually lol'd

That's called evolution. I hate to be the bad news giver but all things were born to die.

That's what's preventing me from getting this shirt.

Generally I like my teefury shirts to be devoid of heavy handed political statements. It also seems kind of busy. If you could fix those two elements you might have a real winner.

haha... not yet, at least.

Interesting concept that I selfishly hope won't come to fruition any time soon! What would happen to all of my cool teemagnet shirts? :-)

WANT!; life is a dream.

So....we are dying out, yet population is expanding?
Pass on this shirt. The statement is heavy handed, easily dismissed and not funny.

nice lookin' shirt

...and I'd very much like "Life is a Dream" printed here

Glad I'm not the only grammar nazi floating around!

I love the chameleon-rhino, would buy it.

Chameleon Rhino would be EPIC!

it is spelled Quagga..........

Interesting idea, but it's a little too busy and would require too much explaining.

Yep! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quagga

I'm not interested in this shirt, but the misspelling would definitely stop me from buying it if I was.

Haha! Homo Stupidus.

Might have bought it if Quagga had been spelled correctly, and perhaps if it had said "stultus" or something instead of "stupidus."

So long, and thanks for all the fish.

"Couagge" is the French spelling. http://www.triplov.org/zoo_ilogico/bestia/pages/z_couagga.htm

Ah. The other ones are all in their English spelling, so it still feels out of place, to me.

not bad

This shirt is really cool, and under a normal situation I would totally buy it. But I've bought the last three Harry Potter shirts and the most recent Doctor Who shirt. I'm broke.

DirkRhyolite said: So if humans are extinct, who are gonna wear the shirts?

well played.

this is hilarious!

Yes! I want this!

techno4 said: So....we are dying out, yet population is expanding?

It's not that we're dying out (yet), it's that we're on the way to our own destruction. The overpopulation is part of that.

The sasquatch inclusion cracked me up. Love both of those blue shades with the white silhouettes. The shirt that I REALLY want, though, is the skating panda in the sidebar!!!

There were so many comments so I though I should contribute (And ik i cant spell) so i decided to do so with a smily face :D

Why is the girl's lighter then the boy's? I like the darker blue myself.

Amen

Not that good.

Would have purchased immediately if Quagga had been spelled properly and Sasquatch omitted. Sorry. It is a great idea!

I love it, definite buy. Did think it was just "quagga" though...

congrats on getting shirt printed... but shirt design not for me...

Weak.
Eco-trendy.
Not funny.
Preachy.
Propagandized big time.
Pass.

Love the shirt. Would like to buy it but can't buy it. I wouldn't mind owning it either. I don't think it's political at all just a very sound prophecy. I mean we had a hand as humans in the extinction of a couple of the those animals why not ourselves. If I owned that shirt I would wear it years after I was dead and gone. 8o)

It's amazing reading about all of this negativity surrounding the human race... :-/

overly bleak for my taste. why doom your species on a shirt?

Uh, Homo stupidus isn't extinct. It's not even endangered. In fact, it's the most dangerous species of all and is at large causing the extinction of all the other animals on the planet, and ultimately itself!

This is definitely my kind of t-shirt because I studied zoology but sadly the fact that it's not Quagga would drive me completely mad if I owned it.

A bit too serious for me.

LOVE t-shirt color. Do this blue more often. Love the idea, but I'm afraid I'd have to do too much explaining when I wear it. Congrats on the idea though.

i find this tee depressing, and not particularly clever or creative. the side art is all quite nice though.

Sorry, it's "quagga", not "couagga".

Please print the little girl/black hand and life is a dream designs! I love them and would instantly buy!

The silhouettes are nicely done, and I disagree with the posts stating that the design is too busy. The repetition strengthens the aesthetic, but at a small sacrifice of the concept — the focus on Homo Stupidus gets muddy by listing a large number of other species. While not my cup of tea, I will recommend this shirt to someone who I know will love it.

cute but i prefer panda in roller blades...

I need to get one of these for a friend of mine.

it seems like the kind of shirt you would get to seem controversial to your friends. waaay too preachy for my tastes

A buy for me ! Bravo !!

Pretty sure it is Quagga.
Don't like the Homo Stupidus...
Also would have liked it more if the boys and girls shirts were both the same color (preferably the turquoise)

I agree. These animals have descendants that still live on and thrive. Humanity will not die out but become stronger through technology since selection no longer really affects us.

I NEED a shirt made from the side-art of the little girl coming out of the oil slick.

*Clears throat* Baiji isn't extinct. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/08/070831123429.htm

Baiji or chinese Yangtze River dolphin aren't extinct. They were spotted in the yangtze river in 2007.

Well, first to go in the human realm: good grammar...
Who IS, please, IS! Who is going to wear the shirts?

Awesome T-shirt man! Im officially in Love!

To be honest, I thought you were referencing the fact that we're texhnically no longer homo sapiens but homo sapiens sapiens (no joke, look it up!) but then I read what you wrote and I was like INSTABUY! I'm studying environmental science and decision making so it's perfect!!!

IvyKing said: I thought it was just spelled "Quagga"?

Both spellings are correct.

Awesome shirt!

There is branching within evolution. Not every species has a linear 'this-became-that' progression. There are some species that over time branched to become two-three different sub-species....One of those might not evolve fast enough or well enough and becomes extinct, where as their close relatives survived.

Either that or if you listen to Creationists there wasn't enough room on the ark for them.

Someone correct me if you're more in the know, but I think "Couagga" might be the French version of "Quagga"...?

That's what it looks like I'm getting from Google.

Wow… I'm deaply sawry 'bout that Couagga issue. Yup, it's the french version of Quagga which is the english version of Zebra delle pianure… And it's correct that humans are not extinct since I just saw a couple in the street, not that we klingons are very concerned though… As for Baiji I'm glad to hear that, hope there has been more sightings since. ;^)

Yay, Tasmania!

The "life is a dream" sideart is perfect. I want it.

chamaeleon rhino side art please!

I love the panda shirt, are you selling that one at all? my girlfriend loves it! Let me know

Al Gore would order a case of these if he knew hoe to work the internets.

Really like the concept, not quite convinced by the execution, largely because I don't like the colour scheme at all. Congrats on the print though.

Love Life is a Dream and the hand of ink... We don't always need references.

Anatomically modern human marks the dawn of the subspecies Homo sapiens sapiens...This is what most of us are!!!

I guess if I'm extinct then I can skip buying this one.

Life is a dream sideart! x

filjos said: Generally I like my teefury shirts to be devoid of heavy handed political statements. It also seems kind of busy. If you could fix those two elements you might have a real winner.

I agree--and I like my teefury shirts to make sense. If we're on our way to extinction then by all means-- let's make a statement about it on a shirt instead of actually doing something to fix the perceived issue. Absolute PASS now and forever.

Hm. Humans kill themselves for lots of reasons: war, abortion, revenge, depression. I'm not sure if the shirt is suggesting all of those, but it's pretty cool either way.

I REALLY want that Life is a Dream as a shirt

love how the humans are designed after the Pioneer 10/11 plaque messages (the plaques were attached to the Pioneer space probes back in the 70s along with some hints how to find us or at least our sun, in case any extraterrestrial life form comes across the space probes). very thoughtful ...

Thanks to Bing I just learned a Couagga is French, a Quagga is German, Cuagga is Spanish, Kvagga is Swedish, and they are all a type of zebra! Love the shirt!

oh wow i love the last two side arts. i would love either of them on a tee shirt :) this shirt is neat but i'm not sold on it sorry

those poor moa :(

Not bad, but not a buy.
Chameleon/ rhino and girl/hand side art need to be printed!

Color is horrible...

I think its great. Its got a really nice message.

I like this shirt for it has Sasquatch on it....however, I'm not extinct so I'd feel like a liar for wearing this shirt.

your side art is amazing btw

Love the Sasquatch!

Lol at humans on the extinct species list, would love to buy this shirt, but it doesn't come in a "girly" 3XL and heck, the color for girls is different than the color for guys, and it would be obvious if I had the shirt. If it did I would totally buy it if they made it in a size that fit me.

Brilliant! I love it, even as an anthropology major.

Feels like a better print then a Tee.

i would totally buy the panda shirt.

But, who will cut our hair when we're gone?

Holy wow, I want that life is a dream sideart.

Congrats on the print Vincent! :)

I dont like this smurf, and also i would like to not have shirts like this with bs political statements on teefury.

btw, last i checked the human race is going strong.

i like "life as a dream" side art a whole lot. nice!

Sorry, but Homo Stupidus is very much alive and well. Even outnumbering Homo Sapiens by my count.

Couagga is the French spelling. Given that the artist appears to be French and the design is based on a plaque at the Paris Natural History Museum, it would seem to be the appropriate spelling. But what the smurf do I know?

Furthermore, everyone who says "I don't like t-shirts with political messages" are smurfing tools. Let me guess... you prefer your political messages emblazoned across your Brooks Brothers suits, or you prefer your t-shirts with mind-numbing pop culture references, churned out with machine-like regularity to help you escape the shallow, meaningless existence of your life (so-called). I'm not really sure which. But for most of the world (you know: think brown people that don't speak English) politics is the difference between life and death. It's a fairly bourgeois, Western conceit to imagine the possibility of escaping a life involving politics, and it's even more naive to imagine this escapism being facilitated by the child's playthings given to you by your slave-master overlords.

So why not use t-shirts as political propaganda? They're cheap, they're easily accessible to the masses. They're like the pamphlets of haberdashery. Because whether you like it or not, your apolitical t-shirt still makes a political statement. Why not cut out the middle man?

As far as the extinction of mankind, I think it's kind of a long shot, but we are certainly in for a Malthusian Catastrophe any day now.

Love the side art - it's weird and fun, and I'd purchase the last three in a heartbeat - but the tee design is lacking. Art > glib (> pop culture).

Great shirt!

It's interesting how you can tell you are french from the spelling of words like Couagga instead of Quagga.

I look forward to your next creation!

It's a poorly executed joke. First of all, there's bigfoot, which we don't know even ever existed, and then there's the fact that all the other animals featured are ones that are we know are extinct so far. If humans are to be on the list, then all the animals we know are not extinct yet today should be on the shirt too to drive home the message.

@filjos so you like everything but the design and the content?

True, but mega depressing. It's just uncharacteristic for this site. I like teefury shirts for thier charm and humor.

DirkRhyolite said: So if humans are extinct, who are gonna wear the shirts?

The apes, when they rise up, set our Nukes to launch, and kidnap Captain Ribman, Vincent Gauriat and Michael Cera, to be their slaves for the next 1000 years of Ape-Control.

How do I know? Because I'm you, DirkRhyolite, from the future. I came back to warn you and to get this shirt, because I need another one to trade for 2 Billion Ape-Dollars.

This guy is right. All the other people who say things like "this is too depressing" are too checked out to deserve to survive. Hopefully those family lines die off, probably clutching cheap plastic smurf made in China that makes them "happy".

Just stop and think about this for a second. Somebody expresses a truly real concern about the extinction of humanity because of our own stupidity. And, because we're stupid enough to on the road to our own extinction in the first place, most people just don't want you to talk about such a downer.

Grow up.

Woooooooooooow… at least some humans are sure alive and kickin' (my ass, which would feel bad if I had one which I don't, I'm a protozoan…) Will I survive this of be in the gallery of extinct Teefury designers? Let's wait n' see! To those who find it depressing, stupid, ugly, quaggy… I'm sorry but I'll have to sell at least a few thousands to pay the shrink fees… As far as I'm concerned, this wasn' t meant to be a summit in modern science thinking but more a joke using classic museum graphic codes (yeah it's done on purpose… can you believe that…). Anyways thx to the thankers and well, guess I'll submit the side art for the others… Meanwhile I gotta go pluricellular so see ya!

Just making a point here; genus is always capitalized and species (and subspecies) are always lowercase. Nice idea, though.

But you're not!

Hnnng. I want the Rhino-Chameleon and Panda side-art!

Love, love! It's aurochs (singular) though, not auroch. Have to buy anyway, because there is a mammoth, and because those are the voyager people.

Yep, it is."Couagga" is the French.

SURFer said:

I won't swear to it but I'm pretty sure Couagga is a valid French spelling.

This shirt is not a buy for me, but all the side arts would be INSTABOUGHT.

I like the last images

Would have bought it if the women's sizes weren't stuck with the cutesy color rather than the cool -and far more apropos to the statement- color.

It is an age-old joke that I really think has been delivered in better ways already, even as a t-shirt. However, I think you could run with the "Human Stupidus" line and make a series of shirts if you wanted to.

I friggin love that "Life is a Dream" side art.

How on we human's killing ourselves? There's like 7 billion people now.

I think this one takes a little to long to get and I don't want someone staring at my moobs for that long of a time

So you've got a bunch of real animals, a cryptid, and then humans who nowhere close to extinction. Is this shirt saying were next? If it is then I would suggest removing Bigfoot and putting in an actual animal. Having a joke animal in the mix completely removes the importance of the message you're trying to get across.

And here I was thinking this was a reference to Hitchhiker's Guide. Silly me.

People would be like, "um, ok but human's aren't extinct"
Then I'd explain the message to yawns and disgust.

Yeah, sorry. No.

They are both correct actually. if u look at his info he's French. Couagga is the French spelling, not the English like Quagga.
