Make handled the bulk of the printing, while I did the folding and inserting. The minifig image (that Lego guy) was originally painted by Mike and appeared on the album cover of Me Geek Pretty One Day. I took that version and traced it down to a simple line drawing to make it easier to Gocco.
In two and a half hours, we finished nearly 350 prints and had them inserted. They looked great too. Eventually, the party reached capacity, and a line was forming outside. It took some about 30 minutes before they could make it in, and the line was raging for about 2 hours, during this time I would try to come out every 30-40 minutes and talk to folks in the crowd and hand them the comic to read. “It looks small” I’d say, “but if you read it right… it should take about 30 minutes”.
