Melody sez, "We collected as many of Roy's t-shirts as possible and made a graphic. We also found where the shirts could be purchased and included an exhaustive list with links."

Roy's T-Shirts from the IT Crowd

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.

    Trivia: the scrambled PacMan (S1E4) is probably a reference to level 256 on PacMan – if you reached it, the machine came up in a really screwed up screen.

      that’s what the pacman kill level/split screen glitch actually looks like.

    I’m 100% sure I will see nothing more awesome than this all day.

    Didn’t he wear a Guided by Voices shirt at least once?

    Edit: Yep. http://www.flickr.com/photos/kinneygirl/3405189511/

       If you find one we missed please send us a note info@fibers.com or comment on the Fibers.com page with a link so we can add it. We did our best but I did just notice a pig shirt he wore – but I’m not sure what episode. Thanks!

           Got it! Thanks so much! I’m adding the images now.

       Do you know what Episode that was?

        I do remember that he was “hiding” an old CRT monitor under his shirt and riding on a bus.

        Found it: Season one, Episode four, starting at 2:05.

    The lightening bolt reminds me of the one worn by the main character in Scott McCloud’s “Understanding Comics.” It’s also similar to the one worn by the Flash (No white circle behind it, though).

    no helpful links to help people buy said shirts?

    Just a point of information:  RTFM is pretty old. I have an RTFM button I bought at a SHARE convention at least 15 years ago (and probably 20 or so).   SHARE (“it’s not an acronym, it’s what we do”)  is the original open-source group, sharing source code, tips, and techniques for IBM systems when IBM was practically the only game in town (i.e., pre-PC)

    Well that didn’t need to be an infographic, did it? The links could have been on the shirts themselves then.

       you might be right, but we thought it was fun!

        Well I look like a grumpy pants now, don’t I? It is fun, thank you.
