Sometimes I receive inbox questions that might be in the interest of other patrons. So I decided to make a few of them public, along with the answer provided.

Q#06: Why don't you make Physical/Printed Comics?

A#06: The main reason is that I don't see the need to kill more trees. 😜
Okay, now seriously. ...

The craft of printing and publishing physical, tangible books is a very complex work. It involves a multitude of details that range from closing the files with lots of small specific aspects, passing through calibrating printers with color-proofs and cropping knives and (worst of them all) the hellish logistics of sending the dozens (hundreds?) of copies to readers all around the world.

That would require way more time and expertise than I have available. Also, it would involve much more costs, making the amount I ask for my campaign sky-rocket.

It doesn't help that I don't live in the USA, where there are some companies that make this process a little more simple for a reasonable amount. In my country, just thinking about this gives me the jitters... Brrr...

So, I'm sorry but there's barely no chance of ever seeing my comics on your shelf any time soon... Unless you decide to print them and bookbind your own personal bootleg copy of my spider-smut anthology.

By the way, if you actually DO THAT, send me some pictures and I'll find a way to properly acclaim your achievement.
