Hippopotamus Bottomus- Youth Tee
Meet Hippopotamus Bottomus—winner of the coveted Rump of the Year award and star of one of Misti Terwilliger’s most delightfully ridiculous stories. This Comfort Colors® tee brings a little humor, whimsy, and hippo-sized personality to your everyday wardrobe.
Created by children’s author Misti Terwilliger.
Soft, sun-washed cotton with a wink of humor — this classic youth tee brings playful character to everyday wear. The front chest sports a small, vintage-style emblem; the back features a cheerful, illustrated hippo with the headline “Hippopotamus Bottomus” and a ribboned “Rump of the Year” badge. Lightweight but sturdy, the garment-dyed fabric feels broken-in from the first wear and holds rich printed colors without feeling stiff. It’s the kind of shirt a kid reaches for on lazy weekends, field trips, or family outings when they want something comfy and a little silly. Subtle distress and warm tones give the artwork a retro, hand-drawn vibe that pairs naturally with denim, joggers, or layered under a zip hoodie.
