Ask HN: What GIF would you want on a shirt?

I'm working on a lenticular printing shirt but am unsure what GIF I would use. It uses tiny prisms and supports 3-4 frames.

Two concepts: https://i.ibb.co/RNFWS5c/Browser-Preview-tmp-3.gif https://i.ibb.co/BnX3Q1y/Browser-Preview-tmp-4.gif

The tech: 0.02" thin film transferred onto a shirt https://i.ibb.co/7v41xf0/Browser-Preview-tmp-5.gif

I'm asking because this would be a significant investment to make 100 of them and I am sure about the tech but unsure about what GIF.

Are you going to sell them? Homer is definitely not public domain.

Great idea, thank you. Would look very interesting as you walk past it: https://i.ibb.co/0n39N4X/Browser-Preview-tmp-7.gif
