Geek Apparel of the Week: Crowley’s Inn, United Underworld, Pixellated Heroines
? This is a Supernatural shirt I don’t understand. I like the design, though. It’s $10 at Ript for the rest of the day.
? This shirt is inspired by Batman — the ’66
Batman movie, to be specific.
It’s ?18 at Last Exit to Nowhere, which is a lot, but when you think about how few
Batman ’66 shirts there that don’t make some kind of overt “shark-repellant” gag, it’s kind of worth it.
? And in We Love Fine news, the company has released not one but two shirts of pixellated heroines:
one of the ladies of ’80s cartoons and
one of popular anime girls. This means one shirt has my beloved She-Ra on it, and one shirt has my even more beloved Lum from
Urusei Yatsura on it. DECISIONS, DECISIONS. They’re both $25.

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.
