Banned Books Club Twinsie Rowing Books to USS Constitution Black Mug
Some books travel farther than others. Here, Twinsie has commandeered his aptly named little rowboat, “Twinsie’s Dink,” and is pushing the oars toward USS Constitution with a rather important cargo of ideas. Equal parts literary mischief, maritime adventure and determined orange-tabby business, this mug is made for readers, sailors, history lovers and anyone who appreciates a story that keeps unfolding every time the mug turns.
The wraparound artwork follows Twinsie rowing toward USS Constitution — “Old Ironsides,” launched in 1797 —with books carrying messages of their own: “Don’t Obey Illegal Orders,” “Read Freely,” “Ideas Sail On,” and “Democracy Needs Books.” Seen from different sides, the mug reveals the voyage piece by piece: the historic ship ahead, Twinsie pushing the oars from his little wooden dink, and the books coming along for the ride. It turns a black mug into a miniature illustrated maritime tale.
Available in 11 oz and 15 oz, this glossy black ceramic mug gives the richly colored artwork a dramatic backdrop while leaving plenty of room for coffee, tea, cocoa or whatever keeps the reader—or Captain—underway. The wraparound design makes it especially fun at a desk, in a reading nook, aboard the boat or beside a favorite stack of books, because there is something different to see from every angle.
While this mug is designed to become part of your daily routine, it also becomes part of something much larger.
