In an interview with "Newsarama", McAlpin stated that he is not fond of reading webcomics online, stating that print comics have four times the detail that digital comics have. McAlpin has worked in printing and publishing for most of his life, and stated "I love the weight to books, the design, the texture of the paper, and especially the higher quality reproduction of the art." A collection of early "Multiplex" strips was released in print in 2010 under the title "Multiplex: Enjoy the Show". McAlpin noted that his webcomic's 500+ strip archive could be intimidating, and that a paperback print collection would make it easier for new readers to get into the series. McAlpin funded the release through crowdfunding on Kickstarter, setting a goal of $7,500 USD and raising over $12,500. McAlpin later suggested that he may have been the first webcartoonist to use Kickstarter to fund a print release. The book was published in September 2010 by Chase Sequence Co. Two more collected editions have been released since.
