Me and Avery(mostly me) ,on an Idea from my lovely and wonderful girlfriend, have started to push even harder on the Crosseye Comics project. Were turnin' this shit into cash. It started with Shirts, more as a quick boost in upstart money, then we run the comics, and Avery even wants to do foam visors (don't ask why, HE doesn't even know why). I ran the base production costs for us if we do it all production ourselves. They follow something like this.

White T-Shirts 5/$3= .60 DPU

Transfer Paper 25/$25 = 1 DPU (Less if we buy them in bulk but for now we wanna make sure it'll go somewhere.)

Ink Cartridges 1 set/$15/~100(minimum) prints = .15 DPU

The actual transfer is free cause were just using an Iron.
So the total comes to 1.75 DPU, were were planning to sell at $7 each. That's a lot of profit for us. From there we move to Comics. Were printing 2 issues of Kamikaze Overdrive, each with 20 copies to start. We also have the brand new cameo-filled comic "There is No Title" or TINT for short. Theres also 2 issues of that with 20 copies each. Both comics will average at about 26 pgs per issue, give or take a few. I cant do any figures on that cause I dunno how many pages an ink cartridge can put out, and the paper is free as we have like 40 billion lbs of it in my garage.

As for the hats I simply have no idea. Haven't gotten that far yet.

Were gunna run it by our principal and such to see if we can sell it in the school if we give like 10% to the charity thing we have at the school. If we can, this shit will peak interest as right now it's not actually producing anything so the few in the CEC arnt really dedicated, but we start throwing money at them and they'll be eager to join in and help, and our group will grow and produce more and from there my only worry is the legal area like Copyright and Taxes. I'm very conscious about the need for legal action in the sense of copyrights and licenses, and is we get anywhere I'd like to turn us into a corporation. Right now me and Avery are running our ambitions on the fact that Dark Horse comics was started by people our age, so it is possible. For me though, I'm seeing that I need a job, and if I can get this off the ground It would be my dream job. As much as I love coding and such, I've gotten such a rush of enjoyment from pushing this more and more into reality. I enjoy doing all this, creating something, breaking the expectations of those who look at us and say "That's not gunna happen". Besides If this is my job, the only person I have to take orders from is Avery, and we are more equals than anything.

My only worry at this stage is what happens if no one likes it, or the more likely happening, what if we can't have it in the school. Our stuff is kind of inappropriate for school. I dunno where we would go to sell our stuff if we don't have the school. I'm not trying a store on my damn porch, since that never works, plus I'm in a culdasac. I'm not old enough to take a loan for a building, and that's an insanely far out there idea as it is. I can't even make a halfway decent site to sell on.

So in this hour, I ask for your help. I need to see if our stuff is liked, and anyone, ANYONE, with any sort of experience or knowledge of this gimme a few pointers. Help me out. Spot and the rest of the NR Team as well, you guys really have experience making ideas come together, so I'd love some advice from the geniuses behind all this.

Also anyone who has any clue how I can get some starter cash, please tell me. I got $15 on me. That shit aint gunna cut it. I thought about investing in some stock, as my frined has some right now and he's making quit e a bit, but with the possible ressetion on hand, I figured that was a bad Idea.

To anyone who has actually read this all the way through, I thank you for caring, or being bored. Any help in any fashion would be appreciated.
