This humorous skiing shirt features a fun cartoon graphic from the 1970s. The graphic depicts a "Down Hill Smasher" from Alaska, and while the term smasher is usually used to describe a type of ski, here the word seems to be referencing the intoxicated state of the man skiing, as he's shown holding a mug of beer and looking comically blitzed.

The graphic on the tee is perfectly reminiscent of the low brow cartoons that had grown popular in the 70s thanks to underground comix artists like R. Crumb and Gilbert Shelton. The image has the copyright Godfred 1977, which may be a reference to Godfred and Associates. This company used to make various souvenirs and memorabilia celebrating the great state of Alaska, and it's very possible that they may have also produced t-shirts like this one.

Fits like a modern unisex adult medium. This shirt is soft, thin, and distressed with spots and a repair, see pics.
