1971

T-shirt Mysteries, part # 1.

Many, many years ago, my mother visited Paris and returned with a t-shirt bearing the design pictured above, which she presented to me as a gift. I have no idea why.

And, likewise, I have no idea what message this image was supposed to convey to Parisians, but I’ve always found it both intriguing and extremely sinister.

Now that the t-shirt has finally reached the stage where it is fit only for a dish-cloth, I thought it might be a good idea to scan the design and share it with the world, before it fades away entirely.

Answers on a postcard please, should you have any idea what it’s all about.

This piece here tells you all you need to know: Dangerous Minds

The gist: France, 1968-1974, political satire, weird soundtrack that has recently been released on CD by WRWTFWW ("We Release What The Fuck We Want").

It was shown on Thames telly in Britain in 1973, with English narration, in the Magic Roundabout slot.  Any of you lot remember it?
