Picturing: A Special Television Episode T-shirt



"The City on the Edge of Forever" is one of television's finest hours. It's an episode of Star Trek (1966 - 1969), one of television's finest-ever series.

Now to the T-shirt.

A few years ago, my brother contacted me saying he was going to order a few Trek T-shirts, and asked me if I wanted one... take my pick. I checked the catalogue and was impressed. An artist in the States had produced designs for all 79 Trek episodes, with each being his own unique interpretation of that particular story.


Postscript: No doubt the shirt looks even better when hugging my somewhat Hemanic chest, but I elected to take the picture with the shirt lying flat.

An old friend of mine emailed me about the above post, and wondered what the "Bread and Circuses" one looks like. That reminded me of a story regarding my purchase considerations....

My brother was thinking of getting me the shirt for "What Are Little Girls Made Of?", but I quickly rejected that kind gesture. Living very close to the University of Toronto means there are lots of young women about. We do not need a middle-aged guy walking around sporting a T-shirt emblazoned with "What Are Little Girls Made Of?". (My brother laughed when I later explained my rationale for being negative to that shirt idea.)

"Does that guy's shirt say what I think it says?"
