This Man Ate My Son Shirt With Hungry Caterpillar

This shirt’s design features a cartoon-style caterpillar and the phrase “This man ate my son.” The caterpillar is illustrated in a colorful way reminiscent of the beloved character from Eric Carle’s classic children’s book, “The Very Hungry Caterpillar.”

The phrase “This man ate my son,” calling the caterpillar “This man,” adds a big question mark. In contrast, the idea of ​​him “ate my son.” is based on the caterpillar’s famous insatiable appetite in the original story. In Carle’s book, the caterpillar ate a lot of things on his journey to becoming a butterfly.

The phrase humorously implies that the caterpillar not only ate food but also someone’s baby, thus creating a humorously exaggerated scenario.

This shirt is to provoke a double-take, especially from those who understand the reference to the original book.
