Don't speak to me until this is empty.

Mid-century advertising style, redrawn: a fifties illustration with the sparkle and a line it would never have printed, in black and red. Retro sass on a mug.

A woman stands there clutching her mug with both hands, dead-eyed, not in the mood. The line wraps round with her: "Don't speak to me until this is empty."

For anyone who has ever needed the first cup in total silence. Mid-century ad style, script and bold capitals, a scatter of stars, the whole thing running right around the mug so it reads from wherever the handle lands.
