I've been preparing some comics, prints, and even a board game for this event, and last night, I went to the 24-Hour Kinko's on the corner (sort of) of Snelling and Grand Avenues. Here's what I learned:
1) You CAN make a very decent photocopier print on Jack Richardson brand newsprint, as long as it's cut to the appropriate dimensions.
2) Said newsprint can also be photocopy printed double-sided, with very little (if any) bleed.
3) One photocopy costs 10 cents. But for some weird reason, Kinko's/FedEx decided to add sales tax, so on photocopy is actually 11 cents. I find this perplexing and very strange that they'd insist on that extra cent...
4) Kinko's does not provide dark markers. They offer every other office supply under the sun, but if you need a Sharpie, better hope the staff has one of their own that they'd let you borrow! (Thanks to cute lady at Kinko's)
This week's City Pages comic. I'm not sure if I'm going to re-up for another year, but it has been fun.
OHOHOHOH! One of the comics I'm doing for MIX is going to include all of the City Pages comics. "But Steve! You provide them for free on your website! Why should I drop a dollar or two and buy a printed copy?" Because there's going to be an exclusive bit of content, that's why!
TTYL!
