My kingdom for some skillz
Earlier this month I got to take part in this year’s festival to plead for skills. The setting: Pickwick Independent Press. The task: get this old AB Dick 360 offset printer up and running.
When in its zone it can crank out hundreds of copies in no time. Combined with the kind of plates it uses, it could be great for comics.
Pilar was in charge of getting the machine working / pleading for the skills of someone more knowledgable and experienced in such a task. I worked on a sample plate in case she succeeded.
…Unfortunately, I can’t say we ended up with lots of sleeping Alice prints by the end of the day. Or any.
But a good time and an inordinate amount of cookies were had by all. The following is an apt summary of my experience. (I didn’t see Pilar’s, but it might be NSFW.)
One of these days, AB Dick 360. One of these days…
