Burning the Quilt for a Flea — Tee

Description

Pire için yorgan yakmak. “To burn the quilt because of a flea.” Turkish has the definitive image for every disproportionate response in human history.

The detail that makes it work: the flea is real. The irritation is legitimate. And the quilt is now ash.

Built like a vintage matchbox label — small format thinking, two or three inks, a border that does half the work. Sober, not comic.

For anyone who has quit a job over an email, and for the friends who talked them out of it.
