The Momentum of Milestones

Happy Memorial Day everyone!

On the first (non) official day of summer, we thought we'd break from the bbqs and beer shenanigans to give you a few updates with the goings-ons of all things Bigfoot.

Update #1:  About a week or so ago we met with a local offset printer to discuss all things paper-related.  Why paper?  Well, in this day and age the buzzword is digital, but there's something to be said about holding that copy of a comic in your hand.  An offset printer specializes in multiple copies.

Update #2:  We purchased our first ever UPC code.  What's the UPC code?  Simply put, it stands for "Universal Product Code."  Basically, if you want to sell a product (comic book, coaster, glassware, etc.) you need a way for it to be tracked electronically (some places won't even give you the time of day unless they have a way to track it via computer.)  That's where the UPC comes into play.  (For an even more in-depth... (boring)... analysis go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Product_Code.)

Update #3:  We're working on a press release.  The goal of a press release is to give as much info (in as little a space) as possible.  Once B:SOTE is ready for release, we'll submit a press release to any (and all) comic and Bigfoot-related sites with the goal of spreading awareness.  (Here's an outdated, but still interesting, archive of various press releases... http://www.comicsalliance.com/press-release-archive/)

So that's it.  Three updates and a couple of links.

But what does it all mean?

It means we just hit three important milestones for getting our ducks in a row.  Paper, Processing and Press.

This book is happening.

Stay tuned.

Have a good one,

Josh S. Henaman
