ANtics Episode 2.27: The Mind of Ken Macha

by louismg on Sep 3, 2006 7:01 PM PDT in News Comment 18 comments

Some days, the lineups are baffling, the pitching moves keep us guessing. Role players rot on the bench. Starters stay in too long - or not long enough. It's all part of being an armchair manager. But one guy, Ken Macha, gets to do it for real. This week, we investigate "The Mind of Ken Macha".

In other notes, the ANtics were just selected by Plasq (makers of Comic Life) to be featured in their site gallery. You can see them, and other Comic Life comics, here.

congrats!!

great to see your ANtics on plasq, because you really do a great job on all of them.

"Apparently there's a rule that you have to be old enough to drive yourself to the induction ceremony. So obviously that's not gonna work."

Great as always!

At the end of the season you should get the entire season printed in a book and sell them. I'd buy one!

You're too kind.

However, if I printed out say... 30 for this season at 75 cents a page at Kinkos, it'd be about $25 per copy + shipping, binding, etc. I know it was plenty expensive when I made copies for the players at Spring Training.

And nobody wants to pay that much for the ANtics. :-)

What I'll probably do at the end of the season is update the high-resolution PDF and make that available for download and printing.

Thanks for your kind comments.

Darn the realities of economics!

I guess I was hoping that you had a connection with a reasonable print supplier because I would love to purchase such a product...in fact I'd probably purchase several! In absence of that I would love the hi-res PDF. Keep the good work coming!
