"Green Eggs and Hamlet" - Would you kill him in his bed? Thrust a dagger through his head? I would not, could not, kill the King. I could not do that evil thing. I would not wed this girl, you see. Now get her to a nunnery.

Several years ago, there was a company in Waterloo, Ontario called Bovis Screenprinting (I think they're gone now). They had wonderful, funny t-shirts. We bought several. One of them is Green Eggs and Hamlet. The characters all all very suess-like. Hamlet is standing over the body of the king and says "I would not could not kill the King, I would not poison anything".
Other shirts:
"Canada Geeks" = Canada geese with tape on their glasses and calculators on their breast pockets.
"Civil Engineers" = Two trains and their engineers are having tea and biscuits. One says "More tea, Cyril?"
"Johann Sebastian Schwarzenegger" = Arnold in a t-shirt, sunglasses and powder wig saying "I'll be Bach"
"John Paul Satre's Answering Machine" : I'm not here. There is no machine. Do not leave a message. There is no message."
"The Lesser of Two Weivels"
"Alas poor Yorrick..": the scene is after a nuclear bomb and he's holding the green glowing skull and continues "... I nuked him well."

There were so many. And they were all great. I think that their main artist died and that was the end of them. I did a web search but I couldn't find anything. Plus I stopped getting the catalogues in the mail a few years ago. It's too bad.

those all sound like great gear. :) I was wondering about the origins...

My husband had a number of these wonderful tee shirts. They are now badly worn out. Does anyone know if or where these tee shirts may be purchased?

Sadly, I think that they're gone. I haven't seen 'em in years.
