Happy Birthday, George Bernard Shaw!

George Bernard Shaw, dramatist and ardent socialist, would be celebrating his birthday today, July 26th, except that he's no longer with us. That's probably for the best, because if he was still alive he'd be 152 years old. As it was he had a long, productive, and we'll assume, happy life, lasting 94 years which is longer than most of us can hope to live.

Nevertheless, we've decided to wish him a happy birthday anyway. Why? Is it because we're big fans of the musical My Fair Lady which was based on his play Pygmalion? Is it because one of us was once cast as Don Juan in a production of "Don Juan in Hell"? Is it because he is the only person ever to have won both a Nobel Prize and an Oscar? If you answered 'All of the Above', you would be correct.

To celebrate, we've designed four t-shirts featuring some of our favorite Shavian quotes. We thought these quotes would look good on the small set, too, so we've included sizes for kids, toddlers and infants. The bibs look particularly nice.

Addendum: we'd also like to wish a happy birthday to Mick Jagger.
