How to Heil a Bus

by Telling Dad on August 6, 2012

As a designer, I’m constantly proofing the work that I do. Not only to make sure everything is spelled correctly and placed properly, but also to make sure the design is going to represent the client in a way that empowers their brand.

When I design car wraps, for example, I make sure to replicate the wrap on an illustration of the actual vehicle on which it will be applied. This is so I can gauge how the door handles, wipers, tail lights, and other exterior parts will affect the design.

Something I’m certain this company’s illustrator didn’t consider:

From chubby neighborhood bus driver to
tyrannical German dictator with one bus vent.

I saw one of those buses yesterday and I thought, “Wow! I didn’t know Hitler had an outie.”

Oh, I didn’t even see the Hitler ‘stache, at first! I was just focused on that belly button.

I’m with you! I noticed the belly button first.

Ha. Ahahah. HAHAHHAHA!

It took me a minute to figure out what you were talking about, and now it’s the only thing I see in the picture. Classic!

Classic! I was so busy trying to read the message that I missed BOTH the belly button AND the mustache! Need more coffee…

Hahaha! This reminds me of the webcomic Hipster Hitler!

I remember a few years back we had a bus that would drive around with a photo of a guy on it and right at his crotch level there was a big black bar. It looked like he had been censored and it was hilarious. Needless to say, they pulled the artwork but it gave me a giggle.

I had to stare at the picture for a good couple of minutes before I saw it. Now I can’t NOT see it. Too funny.
