And those are almost always sourced overseas.
And once again, we were trying to make this 100% in the United States.
I went on a tour looking for a plastic manufacturer in the Dallas area, and I actually found one.
where the black plastic easels could be made.
But the cost was a little bit prohibitive because we were trying to keep the calendar within reason.
And then just the timing of how long it would take to make those because they had to order a new mold.
And so we came up with an alternative solution of chipboard, so using chipboard.
So this is 48-point chipboard.
And as you can see, it made an America stamp on the on the back here, which we're proud of.
And so it's just as sturdy as the plastic.
Obviously, it's more environmentally friendly for those that that's important, too.
And we're proud of that.
And so I'd like to get some video of that being made.
And so we have a partner on that.
And so one of the another point that people might not know would be no, no printer can make this on their own.
And they might pretend they can.
And we were always honest with Scott about that.
And so we have a couple of partners locally as well to help us with this that are always just as grateful and just as excited now to get the Dilbert calendar.
