"We’re two Dads living in Toronto, Canada with young families all under five. And boy, they grow out of clothes fast! We thought it would be fun to produce cool and unique tees and onesies that capture how cool and unique our kids really are.
So we came up with Snappy Kid, a place where you can find a cool, nerdy, pop culture designs for cool kids. Each of our tees and onesies showcase art from top artists from around the world, from California to the UK to the Philippines. Plus, we've added sizes for grown ups and premium options. Artists keep full rights to their designs and may choose to make the piece available elsewhere."
Cool right? How could I not be drawn to a site that has come about like this. Being a father of a five year old myself, and always wanting to dress her in some clothing that refers to something "cool" in my mind, it's a perfect fit. Of course, I don't always come to a new shirt site with my kids in mind, and often I'm hooked by a certain design that makes me laugh or just revel in the cleverness. In this case, it was this GREMLINS-based shirt that got me:

"Mogwai Beach" |
Personally, I'm a sucker for most things related to Joe Dante films as he's one of my favorite directors ever, but this design got me on a couple other levels. Wether it was intended or not, it also reminded me of the animation style that the great "Savage Steve" Holland used in both BETTER OFF DEAD and ONE CRAZY SUMMER. So much stuff I love in one design.

"The Big Race" |
Here's another example of a shirt they had that was right in my wheelhouse. Let's break it down shall we? It's got Looney Tunes (the Roadrunner and Speedy Gonzalez), Pixar (Dash from THE INCREDIBLES), video games (Sonic the Hedgehog) and DC Comics (The Flash). How can this not make you smile. It immediately begs the question, "Who would win this race?" (to which the answer may seem obvious but is still fun to theorize about it).

"Bounty Hunting Time" |
Last example. I am a dude who digs Adventure Time and Star Wars (as I'm sure a lot of people do). The thing I like about this though is that they went with Dengar as one of the Finn character. Not to geek on Star Wars too much, but I've always felt Dengar didn't get his due representation in the Star Wars films. Seems like a memorable fella. So props to the Snappy Kids folks for using him.
So those are just a slice of the unique tees they have over at Snappy Kid. They have a nice selection overall and have many of their shirts broken down into convenient geek-friendly categories like Star Wars, Doctor Who, Lego, Adventure Time and so forth:
