T Shirts: 1977

Looking at this selection of adult t-shirts, I’m amazed by a few things 1) How much merchandise based on “The Shadow” was made in the mid 1970s 2) The whole CB thing and 3) Sears clearly owes Robert Crumb some money.

I believe there was a fad for old-time radio shows in the '70s — I remember my local library had a lot of them on cassette — so that probably explains The Shadow merch.
