Freelance Freedom #179: Production Cycle



PG

N.C. Winters is always drawing. When he isn't making comics, doodling or working as a freelance graphic artist, he spends his time painting pretty pictures for galleries from his home studio in sunny southern California.



  1. PG Darren McPherson

    I laughed hard at this. This happens a lot… and the hands coming out of the phone got me in stitches!

  2. PG Frank

    i love that your cartoons run on mondays — they are always so perfect. also, please stop spying on me. ; )

  3. PG sanji

    nice! this happened to me too, especially with the old office folks! haha..

  4. PG Miguel Braga

    That cartoon can perfectly be about one of my calls to the printer. At the end of the call I have a couple of new gray hair strands.

  5. PG Adam

    Haha nice.

  6. PG luis barvalopez

    this happens a lot! is very annoying!

    single page files are printed from a PDF, here in my city, but when is some file in indesign and we want to print it offset. damn we have to reorganize in corel, in a older version of Corel

  7. PG CIPPO Design

    Now that’s really funny !! :) ) Good one here!

  8. PG Rick Messer

    OMG! This EXACT scenario happened to me last week! Eventually had to send the InDesign files to client on CD and they were outta state!

    Very relate-able!

  9. PG Vanessa MacLeod

    OMG. SO true!!!! These are brilliant, they really make my day when they show up in my RSS reader. Seriously awesome.

  10. PG Ben Kouba

    “I’ll Kill You!” – Hahaha!
    Love the caveman frame too. Thanks for another good start to Monday.

  11. PG Bakhtiar

    rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr….
    happy to know that another people have the same problem LOL

  12. PG Valerie Parizeault

    Is this happening to all of us?! Made my day just to know that I’m not alone! ^_^

  13. PG Kat Skinner

    Thanks for another great comic strip. Please keep them coming!

  14. PG Gunther

    This is one of the best strips ever. The last three panels made my day. “I’ll kill you” and those hands *rofl*
    I can so relate to this although I rarely do any design work.

  15. PG WLR Creative

    I’ve run into print shops like this. In one case I literally had to print out the document as separations and let them image it onto plates. They had a Mac. It was at least a PowerMac…..7100.

  16. PG Pier2Design

    “…and the web design must be in Photoshop.”

    Fireworks > Save As > .PSD

  17. PG Brian Cox

    Or even better. They don’t even know what version of quark they use.
