Geek Apparel of the Week: Pumaman
I came across this little gem when searching for a pic for yesterday’s MST3K Daily List, and knew it had to be this week’s GAotW. If you missed yesterday’s article, you should read it here, but the short version is that Pumaman is about a superhero who gains all the powers of a puma after putting on a magic belt. These Puma powers include but are not limited to sensible slacks and flying like a moron (exactly like the logo on the shirt). This tee is available for $25, and does come in other color schemes, if you prefer. Just remember, each man is a god, each man is free, Vadinho does all the work, and don’t let Donald Pleasance make a paper-mach? model of your head, not least because he’s really terrible at it.
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
