	What, no gangsters with Wile E Coyote shirts?

	It looks like a good portion of The Brew’s readership has done time in the slammer!

	Okay, I’m calling foul on one of those shirts. The Count from Sesame Street is not a cartoon character in any way. Pretty fun assortment though.

	Ohhh boy that made my day. Number 6 is definately the best one of the group

	I’m guessing the majority of those were for heroin or meth possession. Scary. The juxtaposition of the innocence of a cartoon character with an ugly drugged out junky is very interesting. And I agree with Anthony; The Count is not a cartoon character, he’s a puppet. Stay away from drugs kids!

	A number of those shirts are illegal knockoffs, too. The DA should add that to the list of charges against the offending clotheshorses.

	The Count may not be a cartoon character, but I’m sure he works for the courts. “I sentence you to 30…30 days in jail! Ah ah ah!”

	I’ve never seen anything go from completely hysterical to totally depressing so quickly.

	That picture of Woody Woodpecker looks like he was designed by Emery Hawkins. (With the doll eyes, anyway.)
