How I Fulfill Your Order
Here at Attempted Not Known, we pride ourselves on personally crafting quality comic/objects. But what actually happens when your order reaches our massive business campus?
A mega-corporation I ain’t. Everything I make is by hand, and it’s complicated.
The Comics Cube, for example, starts as a cube with stickers already on it. I buy a bunch of them whenever I run out. You didn’t think I had my own injection molding machines on the factory floor, did you?
I use a complicated, specialized procedure to remove the old stickers. Then I hand-cut and hand-apply my own stickers. It’s very difficult to cut through the top layer without cutting through the backing paper, so I end up with a whole bunch of tiny squares. For each one, I have to find a way to get a knife blade between the sticker and the backing paper. It’s very time-consuming.
All the while, I need to make sure I get the stickers placed properly. Each side represents a color (through images or dialog) and the stickers on each side must be placed in the correct order.
