Frequently Whispered Questions

Who is Gus?+

Gus Pemberton. Age unknowable. Thirty-one years on the overnight shift at a sleepy natural history museum. Drinks cocoa from a thermos. Never raises his voice. Read more on the About page.

Is the PDF actually frameable?+

Yes. It's landscape letter-size, parchment-styled, with a real wax seal crest and Gus's signature. We've had users frame them. Unironically.

Can I put my cat's name on the diploma?+

With Keys, yes. Custom recipient name. We won't ask questions.

Is this a subscription?+

No. One-time $2.99. Forever keys.
