Description:

Today, there are hundreds, if not more, reinterpretations of the famous “Keep Calm and Carry On” poster.  This Stay Puft and Carry On t-shirt is a well-done example of one.  In addition to its slogan, this Ghostbusters shirt features the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man’s hat at the top of the design.  The hat replaces the royal crown that is displayed on the original poster.  The Keep Calm and Carry On posters were printed by the United Kingdom’s Ministry of Information at the start of World War II.  They were meant to be a motivational message from the King to encourage the people to not panic and to carry on in the face of invasion.  Despite the more than 2,500,000 copies of the poster that were printed, the government only distributed a limited number of them.  They had remained forgotten until the year 2000, when a copy of the Keep Calm and Carry On poster was discovered in a second-hand bookshop in the UK.  At the request of the shop’s customers, the owners sold reprints and soon the slogan was again gaining recognition.  This Stay Puft and Carry On shirt is an example of how the original slogan has inspired a multitude of derivative works, some much better than others.
