Animals ON Attire - what flies and what does not.



Q:
We’ve heard you sound off on animals in attire, but what about animals on attire? I’m thinking specifically of a sweatshirt with a wolf on it, and behind him a silhouette of another wolf on a ridge howling at the moon. If only I could find 7 of them, I’d be happy every day of the week. Also, what about animals on a tire?

A: Your proposed sweatshirt is a teensy bit ridiculous and highly illogical in its storytelling. Why on earth would the one wolf be apart for the other wolf? Have they had a fight? Does one of the wolves think the moon is a cookie and wants to eat it while the other is ignoring his clearly delusional friend?

If you want a sweatshirt with wolves on them, I think you should go for something more friendly and logical, like two wolves riding a horse while eating sandwiches and listening to a radio.

Regarding animals on a tire (supposing you really want to know something about that and aren’t just making a shameful pun) the only animals I have ever seen standing on a tire are goats and birds. If you are referring to animals as decoration on mudflaps, yes, that’s okay as long as they aren’t striking a suggestive pose in chrome. That’s just plain old naughty.
