Could be completely off the mark.... (my mate did some Teardrop Explodes T-shirts hence the T-shirts)
kwallo klobinsky was the name of the character in an episode of Outer Limits called 'Soldier'. Outer Limits was a brilliant 60's series in the vein of Twilight Zone but loads, loads better. It was total drugs telly.
Not to be confused with the recent crap series (also called Outer Limits).
The 60's ones are in black and white and are mostly fantastic...
The Teardrops watched a video (remember this was the late 70's, so videos were rare and expensive and only tended to be found in film/tv studios.
home videos didn’t really catch on til the early 80's...) of Soldier over and over again on acid in the studio where they recorded kilamanjaro. So much so that Sleeping Gas got sub-titled Kwalo Klobinsky's Lullabye...
The episode is about a soldier from the future who gets transported back to 60's suburban America. He hardly speaks english as we know it and is prone to temper tantrums, killing people, etc. Anyway, he moves into a suburban house with the family of the psychiatrist who's trying to find
out who he is, where he comes from, etc in an attempt to domesticate him... One of the things he says (don't ask me to explain why...well, alright then, it's when they're trying to teach him english) is: dog, dog, dog, dog, dog...DOG!
So the t-shirt is a picture of Michael ansarra (the actor who played kwallo) and the words (you guessed it...) dog, dog, dog, dog...DOG!
It was kind of an in-joke, cause we were the only people apart from Julian who knew who kwallo was....
