Only the bag could possibly be, the cartoon on the shirt simply isn't.

You don't know that. The right to create derivative works is one of the exclusive rights granted to the original creator by the copyright act. If the same designer that put his image on the bag is the one that designed the shirt, it would be very hard for him to claim the second image isn't a derivative work of the unlicensed original.
