The Devil, you say...

 


It is National Devil Dog Day.  And technically a Devil Dog is a Devil's Food Cake bun sliced in half with cream filling. And though they say every dog has his day, I'm not sure this one deserves it's own day.


Though they claim Devil Dogs is what German soldiers starting calling U.S. Marines during World War I. I'm inclined to think that is just a load of Devil Dog crapola used on propaganda posters to recruit young men who liked the idea of being called a Devil Dog. I'm not following how a cream filled cake bun enhanced that image, however.

I didn't feel like creating a Devil Dog t-shirt design so I repurposed one of my Cryptid designs for a Jersey Devil.  Because Devil Dog...Jersey Devil...eh, who cares.

It is just random enough that it might appeal to someone.  Though when I was first creating the Jersey Devil design back when Teepublic crapped all over my t-shirt empire (may they go to a place where Devil Dogs and Jersey Devils show them the business end of a pitchfork), one of my AI friends first suggested this:


I felt White Devil was a bit too racially charged for a t-shirt. I think I told the AI app to created an image of the Jersey Devil working in a place like White Castle.  It made the leap to White Devil from there. So I converted it to simply the Jersey Devil Drive-In.  If you aren't going to sell a t-shirt design anyway, who cares if it makes sense.

The devil made me do it.
