I Got The Beat!

Some links in this post have been removed, because the sites behind them are gone or have been taken over. The words are still here; the destinations have wandered off. A few of the links that remain lead to sites nobody could vouch for after all these years, so they are marked and you click them at your own risk.
A-freaking-dorable. That's the only way to describe Weeber World's "I Heart Guts!" line.
Well, it's not so much a proper line as it is a single shirt in what appears to be a potential line. My guess is that they're trying to fund future shirts from the proceeds they make off this one. Of course I could be wrong there. *shrug* It'd probably help if I mailed her and asked before running my mouth off... But where the fun in that?
Anyhow, the art is delightfully pop and very kid friendly - which is fortunate seeing as how the shirts also come in sizes for the little ones as well as adults. And while I think the Japanese text is a nice touch, I'm sure our boy Tian at Hanzi Smatter is going over it with a fine toothed comb to make sure everything is Kosher.
Tell me I'm on crack if you'd like, but these designs really remind me of Paul Frank's early Julius and Friends line. Very clean, very simple and very cute. I've also gotta admit that I can't wait for the others to hit the site. Especially the kidney.
