Sandman (a radio & television personality in Australia) is the comic creation of Sydneysider Steven Abbott. Steve describes "Sandy" (as he is mostly known these days) as: a lugubrious, miserable, totally self obsessed, only child, loser who speaks in a dull monotone voice.

Despite his shortcomings Sandy is a shrewd observer of the human condition. Here are some of his better known slogans: Failure requires no preparation; It's easier to love something that reminds you of yourself; Losers create winners; Gimmicks create interest where originally there was none; The human body is made up of 90% praise; and ... Eat fast, it's good to finish first at something.

The character first appeared in 1980 as a morose tortoise in a show for children. Later the tortoise turned into Johnny Goodman, Master of Sad. In 1993 Johnny morphed into the Sandman who every morning for 7 years on ABC Radio Triple J delivered "Advice to the Unpopular", or shared his life via "204 Bell Street" (the world's slowest moving radio serial). In 1997 he moved on to television and is perhaps best remembered for appearing totally naked to a national audience.

This inspired Michael Bell design first appeared on a T Shirt in 1994; going on to become the highest selling ABC T Shirt of all time. Let's see how it does here!

Well, for those anywhere else but in Australia, perhaps they will not "get" this design as they should. Sandman and Triple J radio station are Aussie icons and I love both!!! The Sandman T-shirt is a winner!

Steve and I go way back ... not quite to the days of the abovementioned tortoise, but almost. We share a certain complexion ... and some unfortunate photographs from our surfy teen years. Sandman thinks in a unique way and says very funny things (most of which we've been hearing over and over again for almost 20 years). Cheers to Steve ... and to Sandy.

I think underdog humor is an Australian thing. Our self-effacing humor has always tickled the national funnybone. Sad to say, the rest of the world (who take themselves way too seriously) think we are just weird. So Sandy, I guess you are just too deep for the world at large.

Sandman!? This just has to be one of those odd southern hemisphere jokes again. Who on earth is this guy? Not another media giant, like that other anomaly I once saw, the guy who cuts himself when shaving? No wonder this design(er) sweats. Under the search light of artistic scrutiny, I'd suggest. Still, this is a graphic T, so not a total loss! One star only I'm afraid - which includes two for trying. And yes, the math is correct!
