Well, I've done plenty of exploded views. I'm not sure they're the best for this project, though. The one problem with doing it in cartoon format is it'll take awhile. I wrote the above in less than an hour; can't do the drawings quite that fast. I think I may knock out some drawings this weekend on the buyer's guide, though. The more I think about it, the less sense posting it on CL makes to me. My thinking:
1) It'll get flagged.
2) It'll get warped in the reposting, assuming other posters do it.
3) I'd have to repost it constantly.
4) You'd never reach the entire target audience.
5) It really isn't the proper place.

The advantages to it as a stand alone are;
1) Don't have to constantly repost.
2) Control over content.
3) Ability to use graphics more and control the layout.

Disadvantages are less potential exposure; I see it as a teaching tool. More exposure equals more knowledge out there. Much as I enjoyed the recent list for CL sellers that was floating around here, it was a bit arch.

Exploded views, huh? I've never sold originals, don't know if I will, but maybe I'll look into some prints. Wonder what they'd cost.

I'll post some sketches/cartoons here for the buyer's guide in the next week.

Thanks for the feedback so far. I knew posting this here would stir my brain a bit. Of course, as is the norm with me, it made the project larger.
