I did an interview with editorial cartoonists John Cox and Allen Forkum in 2003 and then a podcasting interview with Allen Forkum in 2006. I am planning to have a chat with John Cox in the future. Please follow the progress of his work with my EGO banner in my post. Click on my name (“Martin Lindeskog” Says:).

Noobpreneur is mentioning Dilbert. Mark Anderson: Could do a comparison with this cartoonist? I have put Mostly Business cartoons by Ted Goff on my public Netvibes universe page.

Anita: I was also thinking of Gaping Void when you mentioned business cards. He has been good at marketing his stuff on for example BlogAds. I want to use a cartoon for my new “version” of my blog workshop / presentation with slides. I have the EGO logotype and banner of CaféPress & SpreadShirt t-shirts. Day By Day cartoonist Chris Muir has mentioned some bloggers in his cartoons. Customer gifts with a printed cartoon could be a neat thing. It could be a new tradition of storytelling.

Hi Ivana, how can you resist a book with a title like this one? “Rub my tummy” indeed.

What you say is so true, too, about using the cartoons on business cards. Just look at Gaping Void, who created his brand around scrawled drawings (not necessarily even humorous ones) on the backs of business cards.

Thanks for the creative ideas.

Best,
Anita

I listened to Mark’s interview with Anita and Steve and really enjoyed his story. I’ve also visited his site and enjoyed myself there as well! Some really cute stuff over there and I have seen his cartoon widget in action (on Amanda’s blog) and it’s really neat. Each day I visit I look forward to the new daily from Andertoons. . . puts a smile on my face! I’ll have to check out his book, too, now.

It’s good to hear that you had a good time reading the book, Ivana. I will have to pick up one for myself. I really enjoy Mark’s cartoons, I have his cartoon widget on my blog. I look at the new cartoon everyday and it makes me laugh.

Excellent ideas, I really like taking some of these and using them throughout your corporation for motivational and other reasons. Who would not like getting a business card with one of these on it? Great way to break the ice.

Ivana,

An interesting review- I always a fan of Dilbert and to be honest never knew about this one.

I’ll get one for me.

Anyway, biz toons are great source of idea – and spark more creativity than the plain ol’ paragraphs of text.

Cheers!

What a fascinating book review — and book.

Ivana I know what you mean about the Sara cartoon!!! As a former director of marketing for a software company I too would get treated as if sales and marketing could get turned on as easily as turning on the faucet. If only…

all the best, Marie
