Hong Kong Phooey is an animated comedy series that originally aired from September 7 to December 21, 1974, with reruns continuing through 1976. The show follows Penrod “Penry” Pooch, a mild-mannered dog working as a janitor at a police station who secretly moonlights as the crime-fighting Hong Kong Phooey. Whenever trouble calls, Penry leaps into a filing cabinet to change into his superhero outfit, usually getting stuck in the process and requiring help from his much more capable cat sidekick, Spot. He then hits the streets in the Phooeymobile, a bizarre transforming vehicle capable of becoming everything from a boat and airplane to a telephone booth. Despite considering himself a kung fu master, Hong Kong Phooey relies heavily on his correspondence-course manual, The Hong Kong Book of Kung Fu, and most of his victories come courtesy of Spot or through sheer dumb luck. Though only 16 episodes were produced, Hong Kong Phooey’s lovable incompetence, goofy adventures, and memorable catchphrases helped make the character a favorite among generations of ’70s cartoon fans.
Like all our designs, this one is treated with our signature ‘relic-ing’ process which includes our own secret recipe of hand-painted chipping, cracking, fading, and just the right touch of yellowing to ensure that it looks the part of a true vintage imprint.** We lay these works of art down on premium Bella+Canvas 3001 Unisex Jersey Short Sleeve Tees, one of the softest, best-wearing t-shirts available today, via state of the art direct to garment (DTG) printing which allows us to create a vintage effect that simply can’t be accomplished with other printing methods.

Not sure what size is your best fit? We recommend taking one of your current t-shirts, laying it flat and measuring it. The measurements in the chart below are taken with the shirt laying on a flat surface. To get the length, measure from the high shoulder point down to the bottom of the shirt. To get the width, measure approximately 1-inch below the armhole, across the chest, from seam to seam. While our tees are all made using premium, pre-shrunk, ring-spun cotton, there can be some shrinkage depending on your personal wash and dry cycles. With that said, if you’re on the fence, we always suggest going up a size.
