Common questions

Should colleagues help write it?

One line from a colleague helps. The question about what they will remember is easier for someone who worked beside him.

Is there a date it must arrive by?

Only his last day or the party. Use the production and shipping times on this page to count back from it.

Can I appear in it?

Yes. You can be drawn as a companion beside him from your photo.
