Rump of the year - Adult Tee
Inspired by the delightfully silly world of Hippopotamus Bottomus, this Comfort Colors® tee celebrates laughter, imagination, and embracing what makes us unique. Featuring the famous “Rump of the Year” champion himself, it’s the perfect shirt for readers, animal lovers, and fans of the story.
Created by children’s author Misti Terwilliger.
This relaxed-fit tee brings a wink of humor and a soft, lived-in feel to everyday wear. The garment-dyed fabric has a muted, vintage tone and a slightly broken-in hand that drapes comfortably over the shoulders. Front chest art is small and subtle; the back features a playful illustration—cheerful, tongue-in-cheek, and full of character. Wear it on casual days when you want something cozy and a little silly: backyard hangs, weekend errands, or low-key meetups with friends who appreciate a good pun and a gentle, retro palette. The heavyweight cotton and double-needle construction mean it holds shape wash after wash, while the tubular knit and sewn-in label keep the silhouette smooth and simple. Sizes run from S to 4XL so you can choose the relaxed fit you like.
