Strip Tees

Sharp as Toast Tees

No matter how hard you try, you can’t avoid the slogan tee.

“G is for gangsta.” “I’m with stupid” (complete with arrow). “Future ex-wife.”

Not exactly what you’d choose to broadcast across your chest.

Well, if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em with a Sharp as Toast tee. The shirts have a political bent and a sense of humor, so there’s no need to be embarrassed about the message. With slogans like “Mr. Tooth Decay’s real name is Communism” and “Keep it Coolidge,” odds are the only people who’ll be stopping you for a chuckle are like-minded folk.

The colorful line was started by graphic designer Jimm Lasser and his alter-ego, Mr. Toast, a fictional WWII vet with a storied past and a progressive outlook, who provides commentary for each of the designs. Plus, you can log on to SharpAsToast.com and vote for the next tee in the series — regardless of your political affiliation.

Just try not to let the opposition (“Will flex for food”) sway you.
