The story was created by cutting up old comic books into their individual panels and putting these “samples” into a big pile. I fished out panels at random, held them next to each other and tried to imagine narrative connections between them. Whenever I was able to do this, I taped the panels together on sheets of paper to create a new comic book. Eventually, I made twenty-eight pages this way. Then I re-drew the collaged panels, altering the faces, names and places so as to make the story legible to everyone else.
