Issue #3: Sneak Peek

Issue #3 is at the printers, being printed. I shot a little video so you all could see the kinds of problems we’ve had all throughout the production process. This isn’t the only setback we encountered, of course– it’s just the most recent. But it points up to an attitude we adopted back when we were running late by three months already, with little end in sight: quality over speed. We could have rushed and rushed and not fixed the script problems, or not worked on getting the pattern right, or not fixing the hand diagrams– we even could have said “oh, heck, these dialogue bubbles are only on two pages….”

But we didn’t. I mean, at some point, you have to look at the deadline as it fades into the distance and decide that if you can’t do it on time, at least you can do it right.

So we did. We did it right. It wasn’t fast, but it’s good. I think you’re going to like it.

    Stephanie, Hope all is well with you and yours. I am wondering if issue three is going to be included in my subscription. Also, I have a change of address…
