Day 351

Let's have a little story shall we?

On Earth, Rag & Bone men snake their rusty pickup trucks through council estates, crying out in a sorrowful moan, beckoning residents to drag out their cumbersome unwanted furniture for collection, so that they can sell it on to other equally depressed people in order to afford beer or Rottweilers or something.
On Tatooine, Jawas trawl the deserts on their huge sandcrawler transports looking to scavenge and trade the scrap metals and technologies that they find protruding from the sand.

So basically the two are one in the same.

The story goes that on one particular excursion, the disgusting creatures discovered some robots which they lugged to town and tried to flog to local legend Owen Lars, or so the story goes. The reality, of course, is that upon unearthing the droids, the collectors chose not to sell them, but rather open them up, tinker with their circuitry, and retrofit them with the finest turn tables they'd been able to lay their grubby little hands on, so that their gypsy-like community who live in what I imagine is a giant shanty town made of corrugated iron and outdated bathroom suites, could have a massive rave up and forget their troubles and squaller and hopeless existence.

To the best of my understanding, that occurred somewhere in North London, but also, the same thing happened to the Jawas on Tatooine, as is depicted on Day 351's THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE T-shirt challenge donation from Rob at GraphicLab Tees.
This T-shirt is a fantastic fourth donation from the team at GraphicLab Tees and as with the others, is a very popular design that made it successfully through its one-week sales trial.
