Unit price perAbout the Artwork:
John Leech was an English caricaturist and illustrator, born in 1817 in London, known for his sharp wit and role in shaping British satirical art. Leech worked extensively for the magazine Punch, where he contributed drawings that highlighted the absurdities and contradictions within Victorian society. His work is celebrated for its humor, expressive characters, and ability to critique social norms while still engaging a broad audience. Leech’s illustrations not only entertained but also provided commentary on politics, culture, and everyday life, making him a key figure in the development of British cartoon and comic art.
"Vegetarian Odd Fellows" is an example of John Leech's humorous and satirical style, depicting two men as a carrot and parsnip. The man depicted as a parsnip appears to be elderly and is referred to by Leech as "Pa-Snip," potentially indicating a familial connection between the two figures or simply intending to highlight an age disparity. The other figure "Carrott" is aiding Pa-snip as the two engage in yard or farm labor.

nice design, comfortable
I recently bought a small fruit still life t-shirt with the citron color. That picture/t-shirt color combo works well together and it looks the same in person as the picture. Would recommend
I love the shirt! And love that people look at it and scratch their heads a bit thinking about what it means.
The shirt fits true to size and the quality is great. I was a little worried that the large screen print would lead to a rigid shirt but it’s not all. It feels as though it’s a blank tee but has great designs, front and back. It’s been through the wash a few times so far with zero signs of wearing.
Very happy.
As a T-Shirt snob this T-Shirt is one of my best. Its design is spot on unique, its material is very nice and comfortable. And it fits. Looking forward to seeing more from this brand.
I love how unique this is! It looks great hanging in my kitchen.
As a fan of all things dance, I could not resist and I love my t-shirt! It is soft and a perfect fit. So far, it has held up in the wash. The company website made ordering easy and I was kept informed of delivery dates. I love the variety of products and expect to order something new in the future.
I have gotten SO MANY comments on this shirt. It’s a hit!
Great gift for my boyfriend
