Meh. Just buy my shit. It goes to a good cause = me.

Do you mind if I use some of that shit in a comic I'm writing?

Of course, you'll be in the credits.

Our Lady of Perpetual Confusion is my business name, you are not to use that or the logo under any circumstances. Eris is My Homegirl is released under Creative Commons, I reserve the right to see the artwork of your comic before pressing to ensure proper credit is made. That's all I ask.

The Team Tucson/Providence shit and Spag is free to use.

Of course. Right.
I'm writing just page 23 (no, really) and the comic will have 55 pages (yeah, really), so it's going to take a lot of time to be made. So, when it's time I'll let you know - and thank you.
Oh, i'll buy one of those t-shirts one day, too.

I finished a 52 page comic last year, so I'm feeling for you.  :lol:

...and I got half way through the second one and they got all water damaged.  :cry:

I also decided I need a new scanner, or should find a place with a massive flat bed so I can get as much in as possible at once.

I have long since accepted that my shit-magnet curse has ensured that the series will not be finished in my lifetime. 

...is that why I keep having problems?!

Piece of advice, if you intend to print the comic as a booklet, the number of pages will need to be a multiple of 4 (including the front and the back cover).

(since you get a stack of papers folded in half and stapled in the middle, your number of pages will always be a multiple of 4)

How them patches coming along?

He thinks he can do it no prob. He has to get new screens made first that are smaller, and I have to have money to send him to do that first.  :kingmeh:

Would you be comfortable with taking payment for pre-orders in order to come up with the capital to get them made? Because I'd be comfortable sending you money, if yes.

That is in the cards. Still working out the finer details so we can do a huge run at once. I still need ideas for a new shirt design.

So far, it looks like by popular demand the shirts will be purple on black and yellow on blue...Ya'll are fucking weird. Lol.

Ok, that would need an explanation. 55 pages of comic, plus 5 pages of professional photos with models and stuff, plus "x" pages of quotes from the Principia Discordia, plus "x" pages of Pope Cards and similar...

Yeah, it's a Discordian comic. I mean, a Discordian epic. Some friend of mine and I decided to try making this, and then we'll see what to do with it.
I'm writing it both in italian and in english, so you may enjoy it (if we put it online) in a few months...

Anyway, I'll talk about it when it's a little less "a project" and a little more "a thing".
And you know too much about it. I may have to kill you all...

EDIT: This is also totally OT. Sorry about that.

Take a normal piece of paper, 8.5x11.  Fold it in half, so it's now 8.5x5.5.  That's how they bind the pages.  one sheet, four panels/pages.

So, the book should be a multiple of 4.  You can get a bunch of sheets of paper and fold them the same way to check.

4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, 64, 68...

It sounds like you're including miscellaneous filler material, so you can probably make that strecth to fit.

Oh, the elusive word "that", combined with sentence fragments.

Sorry, sorry, we were saying the same thing, I think. And it's just a project started last week, so until a few months it will be all elusive just as the word "that"... Then we'll magically make it work.
Now I'm going back to work, or it will never be done...

Also, if you go hardcopy, do not exceed 52 pages.  Trust me on this one...As that is the last "comic" size.  Then it goes to trade paperback, and if you're only going over by a couple of pages, you're going to get raped by the printer in a manner that will leave your colon the size of the lincoln tunnel.  Also, if you're going color, keep a copy of the black & whites, as color printing is EXPENSIVE AS HELL, and - here's the kicker - doesn't change the sale price on the indy market.

I think its his placement of the word OK...
After the statement it acts to explain while before seems to ask it as a question

First we were thinking about using the "Bonelli" model (96 pages, b&w - pretty much the italian average) but we're not even sure we're going to sell it in paperback: a work like the one we have in mind is probably not what Italian editors want (I'm not complaining, that's just how it seems to work - and our idea is kinda weird). The drawers are doing it for passion and just in a second time we talked about actually selling it on the market and not just putting it online as "a thing we did for Discordian fun". Make a 96 page comic to sell out of this idea may be cool, but risky and expensive. Make a Discordian comic book and give it to the people online may be way more fun and way less constrictive (we can insert our photos, memes, posters and writings as we like, just to say one thing).

That being said, nothing is sure right now, so...

What if I open a topic about it to accept advices and thoughts about how to make it and give it away (such as: "Might a "Et Cetera Discordia"-like distribution work?")?
If you want, I mean - that would be really helpful.
