Opening a fresh 12-pack of pens and experimenting with all of the colors on a clean sheet of paper is one of the finest pleasures in life. Other momentous occasions in human history, such as the first ascent of Mt. Everest, the invention of electricity, and the moon landing, can hardly compare. With a pen set in hand, you can color code to your heart’s content, composing artful headings with vibrant Vermilion and Ultramarine inks. Draw a basket of fruit worthy of your high school art teacher. Scribble maniacally, recklessly lend pens to co-workers, or bequeath a complete set to a lucky friend. At the end of the day, you can slide all of your pens back into the pack and snap (or slide) it securely shut.
