Looks great man!

Kolby, you can't just copypasta the part of the text you like because it has the answer you want!

"Enquiries have been so often addressed to me, as to whether any answer to the Hatter's Riddle can be imagined, that I may as well put on record here what seems to me to be a fairly appropriate answer, viz: "Because it can produce a few notes, tho they are very flat; and it is nevar put with the wrong end in front!" This, however, is merely an afterthought; the Riddle, as originally invented, had no answer at all."

This is the shiz-nit.

Literature ftw! this is awesome, both the design and the concept!

reminds me of that acacia strain song, that reminded me of poe.

i really hope to see an amazing line from you, im sure i will =]

edit: i'm an idiot

This shirt is awesome!

I think it would look pretty sweet on a purpleish tone too.

I tip my hat to you, goodsir.

has nothing to do with poe, alice was written by lewis caroll,

but its a sick shirt. i think the hatter's original reply is something like 'i havent the slightest idea"

One of the alleged answers is 'Poe wrote on both'. Ravens and Desks.

One of many of the alleged answers to the riddle that Carroll initially had no answer to. The beauty of the riddle is that it's open to interpretation. All answers to the riddle are exactly right and wrong. I believe he just used the phrase to emphasize the non linear thought that went on between the characters in the mad tea party, to show the reader that it was indeed "mad", and that all logical reasoning was non existent.

`Your hair wants cutting,' said the Hatter. He had been looking at Alice for some time with great curiosity, and this was his first speech.

`You should learn not to make personal remarks,' Alice said with some severity; `it's very rude.'

The Hatter opened his eyes very wide on hearing this; but all he said was, `Why is a raven like a writing-desk?'

`Come, we shall have some fun now!' thought Alice. `I'm glad they've begun asking riddles.--I believe I can guess that,' she added aloud.

`Do you mean that you think you can find out the answer to it?' said the March Hare.

`Exactly so,' said Alice.

`Then you should say what you mean,' the March Hare went on.

`I do,' Alice hastily replied; `at least--at least I mean what I say--that's the same thing, you know.'

`Not the same thing a bit!' said the Hatter. `You might just as well say that "I see what I eat" is the same thing as "I eat what I see"!'

nice.

TOTD! Thanks guys!

i knew it!

It's nice graphically on the shirt and I like the colors but I would've liked it more overall if you had used your own art instead of using the artwork out of the book.

I love the orginal illustrations and used them on purpose to achieve the same feel from the text and add my own interpretation to it, adding on to what was already there. Thankfully I'm able to do this because the illustrations, being over 100 years old, are in public domain.

i joined just to say I love this shirt. I need to be able to wear it!

Haven't created the myspace page yet! The website is up but it's still being worked on.
