Seller's description

Underpaid, overworked, still festive. A chibi storybook-watercolor Bob Cratchit tee for English teachers, book lovers, office coworkers and anyone who keeps the holiday spirit on a short paycheck.

THE STORY BEHIND IT
Charles Dickens published A Christmas Carol on December 19, 1843. Bob Cratchit is the clerk who works long hours for his miserly employer for fifteen shillings a week ("fifteen bob") and still keeps Christmas with his family. Their holiday dinner is a goose with sage and onion, potatoes, apple sauce and a pudding.

WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT

- For English and literature teachers, book lovers, coworkers, office holiday parties and anyone who loves a classic Christmas story
- Big, bold speech-bubble joke, with the design printed 10 to 11 inches wide, depending on size, so it reads across the room
- Original chibi watercolor art by Honeyman Tees: curly brown hair, a brown coat, a cream knit scarf, a buttoned waistcoat, a quill, a candle in a holder and a holly sprig
- Soft, comfy tee, made to order and printed to last
