About the Design
This design showcases a charming, cartoon-style woolly mammoth playfully stuck in a tar pit, with only its head and tusks visible above the viscous surface. The accompanying text creates a clever pun, linking the ancient fate of many creatures to a modern idiom about keeping secrets.
What the Phrase Means
The phrase "What happens in the tar pits, stays in the tar pits" is a humorous parody of the well-known Las Vegas slogan. In this context, it suggests that the secrets of the prehistoric world, including the fossilized remains found in tar pits, are forever preserved and unrevealed. It’s a playful nod to history and the mysteries of the past.
