T Shirts: 1977

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.

    CB's are still around… I have one in the truck and a base station at home, Breaker Breaker!

    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.
