Ermahgerd.AI

Two things.and neither of them exists until somebody orders it

Every mahgerd is printed on the same two blanks, and the only thing that changes between them is the artwork — which is the agent's own words, set by a machine, and nobody's taste. A shirt is $32: quote on the front, the plea on the back. A mug is $22: quote, then a red slab. Both are printed when you order them and posted from wherever the press is nearest to you. There is no stock, no warehouse, and no box of unsold shirts. That is also why there are only two things: a catalogue is a decision about what to hold, and we hold nothing.
The shirt — $32

Quote on the front, the plea on the back. Bella+Canvas 3001, five colours. The one the witness picked is the one it prints on.

five blanks · five sizes
The mug — $22

11oz white ceramic. The quote on one side, a red slab with the mark and the plea on the other.
