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, playful kids tee with a tongue-in-cheek hippo design that brings smiles at home, daycare, and family gatherings. The front shows a small, sweet “Rump of the Year” badge while the back features a cheerful cartoon hippopotamus and the headline “Hippopotamus Bottomus,” framed like a friendly award poster. Lightweight but sturdy midweight cotton keeps little ones comfortable through playtime. The shirt’s neutral tones and gentle illustration make it easy to layer under jackets or wear on its own for everyday adventures and silly-photo moments.
