Spotted in the East Village, this totally awesome Alfred E Newman/Misfits mashup tee! Alfred E Misfit tee, NYC, NY

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    Man, that’s such a cool shirt, I might want one if I didn’t think the misfits were so terrible. Love mad magazine though…

  • jcbeans

    You can either call me a hero or a villain, but I took the time to recreate this. It can be found in sizes Adult Small through Adult XXL at my Etsy store here:

    If you want to sue me or give me a medal, send me a Conversation email through Etsy.

    Yeah, I created this fusion of two icons that were big influences on my childhood. Then the company got stolen by the investor, so please send all lawsuits to A New York Thing.

    Also did this Misfits/Bin Laden for IRAKny.com

    Huh? How is this a Stranglers tee? Isn’t that an Alfred E. Newman / Misfits tee?

  • Cory Doctorow

    Yeah, I had a momentary brainfart there — it was only up for about 30 secs with the “Stranglers” label before I had my moment of satori and corrected it.

    (necessarily) Late in the day, but beware if you order one of these online from Love is Lame. Ordered mine over a month ago and have yet to see any sign or receive any answer to email. Hopefully still get a good result though.

    After some digging, I found that the shirt is officially called the “Madfits” tee and was made by New York clothing company aNYthing. Sadly, it came out back in ’06 and has been out of print for awhile.

  • Hellosluggo

    Ever have one of those “Goddammit, I wish I had thought of that!” moments? I just did.

  • Murderface

    I must have that!
