The Self-Descriptive Shirt, loosely based on comic #688, has on it a set of charts and graphs precisely describing itself. On the front is a white pie chart showing what fraction of the shirt’s area is white, and on the back are a series of black and white charts and figures describing in more detail the size and location of black and white areas of the shirt.

Since the graphs are describing their own content, it had to be designed to avoid any contradictions, and since a change to any one graph alters all the others, it took a lot of careful measurement and fine-tuning to precisely calibrate the size of each chart element, and the design was adjusted for each size of shirt to ensure accuracy.

“ By letting an account as daft as @ShippamsPaste run free, you safely benefit from the best of both worlds: Old dears still buy paste whilst entirely unaware of what a Twitter is, whilst hipster dickheads like me go out and develop an irony-led addiction to seafood spreads.
