Well folks it inevitably happened…. golub/price chopper’s lawyers sent us a cease and desist on the selling of the ghetto chopper tshirts and products…… …and so we have decided to comply because…. temporarily!!!

For those who purchased one we’re working on getting you your refunds!!!

This whole thing was never meant to be a big deal! It’s satire!! I am a cartoonist and an artist and a free thinker and as such, along with artists of the past, have the right to question society and life in general. We appreciate those who have been so supportive and do stand by our original intention which was to make social commentary on the fact that many of the Price Choppers have been deteriorating over the years to a point in which they gained the publicly used nickname, “Ghetto Chopper”.

It was apparent that many were offended by this project and for that we apologize. We never wanted to offend anyone and it was never an issue of race or class. Many of the offended people had jumped to conclusions and as a result to that, created more of an issue then was necessary.

We do hope that conversations on social issues continue on and also that we can start to understand and work towards fixing some of the real issues out there. I will continue on creating Smallbanytoons and I hope you continue to follow and maybe together we can help bring a little laughter to this corrupt world. The world needs artists now more than ever!!
