While visiting a small town in West Virginia our heroes were enjoying a Cherry Cola and laughing to themselves at people walking by. Many had crazy outfits, some had crazy pets, and a few just had a crazy look in their eyes. It dawned on these two youngsters that if the individuals passing by had been wearing funny t-shirts laughing out loud would have been perfectly acceptable. Since laughing silently is so difficult to do while drinking a carbonated beverage our friends set out to clothe the world in funny t shirts.
Alas, as the "t-shirt guys" started to think up funny t-shirt designs their friends began to request their own. Soon people all over the country were wearing t-shirts printed in a rented Pennsylvania basement. Inspired by that July afternoon, gems such as "I made out with my sister in Wheeling, WV." became cloth billboards for a forgotten metropolis. Over the years designs have come and gone but many of the best-selling shirts still revolve around their Pittsburgh and Penn State roots. Ratfink is now a family-owned company and has branched into the funny baby clothing industry with the Ratfink division, Funsies.
We hope you enjoy our shirts, we make them just the way we like to wear them; soft, comfortable, and funny. We always welcome any comments/suggestions so feel free to contact us
