Summary
The Boss' Cat tee design features a cartoon with good likeness of Marlon Brando as The Godfather as he holds his cat which in this case is Garfield.
The Boss' Cat tee is for fans of The Godfather and the Garfield comic strip. This design is a mashup parody and will only be truly appreciated by fans of both franchises and of Garfield specifically. People that only like The Godfather might see this parody as an insult to the masterpiece.
After seeing this, it is no freaking wonder Garfield loves Italian food. Being the prized kitty of a mob boss has its advantages. Jon Arbuckle was just some cartoonist schmuck that tried to hold the fat cat for a fat ransom. It is just too bad that this concept has been done before, more than a few times by many people.
This artwork finds that fine line between realism and cartoon and blurs it nicely. Although, half of Garfield's head should technically be covered in more shadow as to be consistent with the Godfather's head.
Ben Chen drew Garfield in the original comic style and altered the Godfather to match the Garfield comic style. This version is better than others of the same concept.
The Boss' Cat design makes for a fun tee to wear to any casual event. Movie and Pizza nights will never be the same.

Bottom Line
The products and retailer Threadless are of the highest quality at fair prices such as $25 for a Tee, $39 for a Sweatshirt and $49 for a Hoodie (with “On-sale” prices ranging from $7-$15 per tee). As for the tees, the Threadless brand of blanks are soft and extremely comfortable. As for the printing method, this one uses the superior old fashioned screen printing technique.
They have been known to remove tees from their warehouses that do not meet their high standards of quality. They rather take a loss than sell an inferior product. They are that committed.
Since they are screen printed, this means that usually there is no choice of a fabric color, what you see is all that there is for this design.
On the downside, their size selection is rather limited and the big and tall tend to miss out on some great shirts.
Overall, we feel that this Boss’ Cat tee design is a worthy purchase and therefore should not result in any buyer’s remorse.
