Is this copyrighted by a single entity -- what is the story behind this?
Is the tabloid depicted an actual headline from a real newspaper?
Who came up with this t-shirt? Is this a parody of the
"filth and the fury" sex-pistols newspaper headline?

Seems like a tweak on the Blur: are Shite! t-shirts that Mogwai used to hawk.

It's from Viz Magazine.

my 1st instinct is the same as Alex's.

funny as Select readers once named Damon Albarn as Top Twat 199X

And they predate "Blur: Are Shit" by between five to ten years, except I can't find a definitive date on the interweb.

I always figured it came from Morrissey being a twat

When will they make a "Tony Wilson is a twat!" shirt?

From what I understand, Tony Wilson is more of a cunt than a twat.

It might also be a reference to those "John Peel is a Cunt" t-shirts from way back then.

wilson's merely a minor-league cunt. he's more of a wanker than anything else. morrissey, however, is definitely a twat. blur are knobs, rather than shite (although i still wear my old blur: are shite T-shirt to teh GYM. the armpits are a fucking disgrace)

i love him! i think he's fantastic. but he is, by his own admission, a wanker and a bit of a cunt.
