Full-color stories

As you know, the winners of all our auctions receive a copy of their Significant Object’s invented story. Usually that story is told only in words, so presentation is straightforward: a printout.

The objects for sale now in our shop are all part of our three-part collaboration with the Center For Cartoon Studies. That means the winning bidders will get not just their Object, but a rather attractive four-color copy of the story-in-comics.

I guess that was always obvious, but it didn’t sink in to me how cool it was until I actually saw these physical manifestations of Significance-inventing.
