Stewie Griffin
Family Guy premiered after the Super Bowl in January 1999 and the single joke that carried it was a baby who talked like a Bond villain. Seth MacFarlane voices Stewie in a clipped English register he has said is modelled on Rex Harrison, and the early seasons play the character as straightforwardly homicidal — elaborate schemes, ray guns, a running campaign against his own mother that nobody in the show ever notices.

Who is Stewie Griffin?
Family Guy premiered after the Super Bowl in January 1999 and the single joke that carried it was a baby who talked like a Bond villain. Seth MacFarlane voices Stewie in a clipped English register he has said is modelled on Rex Harrison, and the early seasons play the character as straightforwardly homicidal — elaborate schemes, ray guns, a running campaign against his own mother that nobody in the show ever notices. Later years soften him into something more like a peculiar toddler with a wide vocabulary, which the writers have joked about openly. The design is a single memorable shape: a head shaped like an American football, which is the sort of silhouette that only works because someone was willing to be that blunt about it.

Why Stewie Griffin endures
The character that carried an adult animated sitcom to a revival after cancellation, built on one silhouette and one incongruous voice.
What Stewie Griffin looks like on a shirt
Signature motif: Football-shaped head, red dungarees, yellow shirt
The head shape is the entire design and it works as a pure silhouette — a shape nobody would mistake for another character. Red and yellow are loud enough to read on black, which is where most adult-animation apparel lives.
Pure silhouette work — the head shape alone identifies him. Red and yellow on black is the standard adult-animation combination and holds up. Not a youth garment.
