but. adding the little speedo to doc scratch just made it even worse.
(for ref, here is the original design - link - very possibly nsfw, due to plush doc scratch rump on full display)
I’m not even really joking - the shirt entry is going for “Doc Scratch doing sexy video chat and we are all uncomfortable/ly aroused, depending on what kind of voyeurs we are” (aside, for the longest time I thought he was contacting Hussie’s avatar, who was the one screaming after opening the video chat and seeing… that… but now I’m paying closer attention for the sake of this ask - thank btw - I’ve reconsidered)
I totally agree that the bright green speedo draws MORE attention to Doc Scratch’s assets, but this makes us all MORE uncomfortable, which means the shirt design is MORE successful in its aims, so like.
I gotta judge these things on their own terms. Otherwise it would have just been a ranked list of how close the contest entries got to my personal John Egbert headcanons.
[ETA: went and looked up the artist, ‘cuz it’s fun to know when people are talking about your stuff, and it’s kalmasis]
