The Funky Albino (aka Mike Noonan) submitted this pic of himself wearing one of the very first 2B Homecooked designs: The Monster. Released around 1990. It was only available on black and was designed by a fellow zine maker named Fetus. (His real name is Patrick Richardson.) The back had a large monster and the front featured a different smaller monster as a breast logo. Another bit of trivia. Mike was PLAY Clothing’s main employee for several years and ran it almost single-handedly for some time. You rule mikey! (photo by Brian Geiman)

Update: Jimmy Deaton submitted these current pics of his 2B Monster sweatshirt, still in pretty mint condition! Thanks for the closeups of front and back. Trivia: Jimmy was the maker of Happy Zine and had a clip in the original 2B video Baking With Leigh.
