Man Reading a Sundial T-Shirt (Rube Goldberg Art)
ABOUT THIS IMAGE
Digitally restored and colourized image from a November 1, 1911 Rube Goldberg cartoon panel, in which the subject of this image goes to a watch maker to have his pocket watch repaired, but the watch maker ends up destroying the man's watch and requesting $87.30 to repair it...so alas, the poor man is forced to tell the time by a sundial. Says the unfortunate man, "It's just nearly exactly half past a quarter to thirteen." (The full comic strip is available as a black and white design in my store.)
ABOUT RUBE GOLDBERG COMICS
Although probably best known for drawings of highly complicated machines that performed simple tasks, now known as "Rube Goldberg machines" or "Rube Goldberg inventions," Goldberg penned a treasure trove of other cartoons dealing with political, social and comical themes. He created such panel cartoons as Telephonies, Foolish Questions, What Are You Kicking About?, among others...but many of his strips did not deal with a central character, but rather, a single theme that changed from one strip to the next. Under my store category, "Rube Goldberg miscellaneous" such comic strips are featured.

I give wanted to give this a 4 instead of a 5 because these Basic DARK T0shirts run unexpectedly SLIM or Narrow. Which is great if you do not have a potbelly, but I have a paunch. It isn't the shirt's fault that I've got a beer belly. The design and shirt itself is a quality cotton shirt. The color is more of a deep purple, but still a very pretty color. The Basic DARK T-shirts run a bit SLIMMER than the Basic Ts. The neck is a fraction narrower (or seems to be narrower) also. I'm a paunchy middle-aged woman and my neck is 12 inches (31cm) thick and the neckline fell about the same as in the photo of the man, and I had the desire to tug it a bit. So if you're a thick necked man or like loose shirts, be aware these are slimmer shirts. Once I get rid of my lockdown paunch it'll look great. The shirt washed well in cold water with no apparent bleeding. We don't have a dryer, so it hung dry. Did not shrink. Love the colors and the design. The design looks smaller on my shirt than it does on the model on-line. But still, it looks good on the shirt. The printing looks as it does on the model, just the size seems fractionally smaller. Washed garment in cold water, hung dry and design appeared unaffected.

I'm wearing this as I type... It's fab! Lovely quality. Soft material, perfect fit, nice and warm (It is very cold here, I live at the top of a hill and the wind is brutal in winter). Couldn't be happier with this. My Girlfriend really likes it as well - always a bonus! I was really impressed by how the printing turned out - my photo's don't do it justice. This is a complex design with a lot of colour variations but the finished article is really impressive. I couldn't be happier with how this has turned out. This is also one of my first designs to have been purchased by someone else (thank you so much!) I'm really curious to know what they think of the finished product...
