Thrifty Beatnik Mens Style Blog - I AM ASTROBOY T-Shirt - 09/10/2009

The T-Shirt: Now alot of people haven't heard of Astroboy. He's a fantastic manga character, in fact, he's got such a cult following this t-shirt sold before I even decided to post on this. Therefore I will dedicate the rest of this email whinging and admiring in equal measure

There was a time when I thought The Pixes and Os Mutantes were my own special secret bands. I'm pretty sure lots of people feel this way about The Fall. Then I went to University and found I was wrong. Astroboy, (鉄腕アトム, Tetsuwan Atomu?, lit. "Mighty Atom") is one of those characters I've had since childhood that I'm sure will soon have a wider worldwide recognition thus ruining it for me and the followers of this ever-so-cute robot. Therefore I'm going to just hold up my hands and share a youtube video in the hope you'll get as hooked as me. There. Instead of taking away my ball I've given it to you.

Thank you for your time
