Mitcz.com : Official blog of Rev. Mitcz, the demented devilish comedian from Hollywood, CA.

Now that I’ve rolled out my new logo, I feel it’s about time I finally made some Mitcz Merch (err… “Mitcz Mercz”). I’m faced with a number of dilemmas, however, and that’s why I’m asking for your help.

First and foremost, here’s a basic idea for how the shirts might look (a few different styles/colors cause nothing’s finalized yet)

And a close-up of one of the designs :

Now for the initial dilemma : would anyone buy one? To that end, I’ve setup a poll here on the site, and you can vote right now :

The next dilemma (and, yes, I encourage honest commentary on this) is that there’s two routes I could go. Zazzle or Self-Produced. They each have their ups and their downs. Here’s the basic breakdown :

Zazzle

Benefits :
- I can make almost unlimited designs, and never have to be to stuck with designs that won’t sell
- I can update/change/add designs as I deem necessary
- I don’t have to worry about billing, shipping, taxes, etc.
- You’re buying from a trusted 3rd party and not some fucked-up comedian

Detractions :
- Way more expensive for the end-user (that’s you)
- I don’t make as much money per sale as I would doing it myself
- I don’t yet know the quality of the material used for the shirts
- I feel like a schmuck using a 3rd party “anyone can make a shirt through us” service

Self-Produced

Benefits :
- Way less expensive for the end-user (again, that’s you)
- Higher profit margin for me
- I would be using materials / shirts that I know are of high-quality
- The printing would be higher quality as well
- I don’t feel like a schmuck, cause it’s the fancy way to go

Detractions :
- Since I’d have to buy in bulk, ahead of time, I’m limited to which designs I could use
- I’d have to figure out billing, shipping, taxes on my own (though using PayPal for payments would ease 2/3 of those)
- Once they’re printed, that’s it. No changes can be made, and if they don’t sell… I’m stuck with bad product I can’t unload.

One final dilemma (especially worrying if I go the self-produced route) is.. what look/text should I go with? I want these to be jarring, but funny — like me! Here, then, are a few ideas I’ve kicked around. An asterisk ( * ) means I feel really good about the tagline, and an arrow ( -> ) means a new line (for multi-line taglines beneath the logo).

UNISEX :

- keep comedy evil* (this is sort of my “thing”, so if I only made one tagline, this would be it)
- fuck safe* (i like this one because it’s slightly ambiguous. it really means “to hell with ’safe’ comedy and being PC”, but some people might think it’s a reminder to use condoms.. which I also support)
- mitcz is my -> new satan.
- purveyor of -> quality dick jokes.*
- catnip : cats -> cocaine : strippers
- don’t be so suburban

MALE :

- let’s get gay.
- i love my dick so much -> i bought it jewelry*
- not dating material*

FEMALE :

- mitcz can -> fist my cunt*
- i will punch you -> in the cunt*
- women are the devil -> and you love it.*
- staring at these -> will alter your decisions.*
- heh. titties.
- heh. pussy.
- what’s a hot, large-breasted -> sexually-adventurous -> young woman to do?

Please vote in the poll above, and if you have an extra moment, shoot off a comment (or email me) to let me know which designs/taglines you’d actually wear. (example : “I’d buy and wear the white logo on a black shirt, with the tagline “keep comedy evil”).

Thank you for your time.

Diggin' my shit? Well then..
