I'm one of those people in love with the IDEA of New York. I'm so afraid going back there will shatter my good memories and illusions! Your posts make it possible to keep on dreaming...

I wonder how this would work in other cities… fortunately, after the pandemic, even I know how to use a qr code.

This is so interesting! Love how you acted on the idea while slicing pickles...made me laugh (and love your cartoons!) I may give this a try...! Thanks!

Some of my best ideas have come halfway through a pickle.

I spent many weekends and weeks in NYC in the 90s and through the2000s until covid, and have been back a few times since, but now I am really too old and having a hard time getting around to go. So I'm going to depend partly on you for my NY fix now!

Very cool idea grassy ass! I have cards like this for my biz and I get a little rush whenever I find a cool place to stick one. Prob is now I wander with pushpins in my pocket and sometimes that goes badly

I love this idea Jason! But I hate QR codes! What to do?

Jason Chatfield's avatar

Personally, I still prefer putting a URL on most things. I did buy Newyorkcartoons.com for a reason, I suppose. URLs on them for various projects and people seem happy to just type them in rather than scan something with their phone.

I’m going to design bookmarks and add a QR code! Thanks for the idea.

I sell books online and I include a bookmark. My friend also works at a bookstore and thinks he should be able to put some on the checkout counter.

I experimented with bookmarks when I was signing my books last year at New York Comic-con in San Diego Comic-con, and what I noticed was more people would just take the bookmarks because they were something ‘free’ — I didn’t have a QR but I included a promo code and URL to order more books through my website on the bookmark and got a bunch of sales from it.

Bottom line… Sometimes people won’t buy the book in the moment but they will keep the bookmark because it’s free and if they actually use it while reading a book you have a captive audience .

Good to remember! Thanks for sharing that experience

I love this but your friend seems to have missed that the injunction is to find the people who care about rats, not the rats themselves.

Believe me, that's not all he's missing 😆
