I haven't used Paypal for years. I had an account at one time, but closed it down long ago. I don't use credit cards myself, so usually whenever I buy things (read: bike parts) on eBay, I just send money orders. Call me old-fashioned...
Not too sure what you meant by "one of each". Do you mean "each issue"? At this point, I still don't know whether the books would be published as smaller comics or as one graphic novel per story. Not sure which method is cheaper to produce.

Do you mean other artist's characters? I don't know; plans are still up in the air about the whole Lot 6 vs. Extinctioners thing. If we can get that story squared away, there might be a crossover deal going on. But as far as seeing another artist's popular character in the story? Not likely. The stories are more "real-life" than humor. The Skunkworks crew only make a brief appearance in the series' earlier issues because Dinah brings Angeline there for her to get a job. Since Val knows Crystal, and the two are friendly outside of work, it makes sense to help each other out from time to time.

But...they're comic books, not videos. The Skunkworks stuff will still appear via folios and such, but those are staged shots. As I get enough of the final pages done, I'll post some here to illustrate the point.
I HAVE entertained the idea of doing a "behind the scenes" feature on the site, where there are shots, taken candidly, of the girls and crew preparing for a picture (in which the final produced picture may appear in a Skunkworks folio). So, for example, there might be a picture of some characters getting ready to do a photo shoot from a scene in the first "Antics" folio, showing the focal characters getting ready for the scene, as well as various crew members in the background, adjusting lighting, prepping cameras, whatever. But these "behind the scenes" pictures would be done like B&W photos, so the characters would appear very realistic, as compared to the artistic renverings of them in the finished folios.
