Trust is important. Standards are relative.

The I’ve Had Worse Lies Capybara T-Shirt features Gene sitting face-to-face with an alligator who has apparently made some assurances about the current situation. Gene isn't entirely convinced. But then again, “I’ve had worse lies.”

With its small hand-drawn scene, deadpan humor, and deeply questionable decision-making, this funny capybara shirt feels very Capy Life: understated enough to wear anywhere, weird enough that people are probably going to look twice.

Design Notes

Gene has heard the explanation. Gene has considered the source. Gene is proceeding anyway.

The design shows Gene sitting calmly beside an alligator in a tiny patch of water, apparently in the middle of a conversation that should probably concern him more than it does. Underneath, “I’ve had worse lies” delivers the joke with exactly the amount of enthusiasm the situation deserves.

It's an oddly specific little scene about trust, bad decisions, and accepting that this probably isn't the most questionable thing you've ever believed.
