We've only met this writer a few times, but it was way more pure joy than any other thing that we can do as a company because...
We're so tiny.
It's like really six full-time people.
But every so often, we have a chance to kind of elevate a voice in our little way.
Yeah.
I was a cartoonist, so I had salon graphic design work, and then I had a weekly cartoon in the SF Weekly.
Those three things combined, I was making decent money.
We had this little design company where I looked at these invoices that we used to send.
I'm looking through all this old stuff lately.
Our main client was the SF Chronicle.
We'd do like their in-paper ads, like, read the Chronicle.
But you were on the inside and the outside.
A little bit, always.
I mean, in journalism, it's that way.
An ad would take us half an hour to make, but we had to just make up some number that sounded like, so it'd be like $507.32.
No, all these numbers that I saw us make up were so ludicrous.
There was no math or consistency, but we were undercutting the real businesses.
An established place would charge 10 times that much, so we made really good money.
by being nimble and quick and cheap.
And so I always tell anybody, like out of school, if you undercut the bigger companies in any business, you'll do incredibly well.
