As much as I’d like to think of myself as a young up and coming cartoonist, I’m coming to realize that I’m probably more established than upstart these days.
I turned 40 last year, got my first pair of bifocals and that kid at the grocery store calls me “Sir.”
Sigh……

Regular readers of Small Business Trends know I love a good graph cartoon. There’s almost no end of fun things you can do with the shape of a graph, which is actually where the idea for this cartoon came from.
I was talking with my wife about putting together a book of graph themed cartoons…

As a kid growing up I watched a lot of television. Cartoons, sitcoms, even the late night talk shows (don’t tell my mom!)
One of my absolute favorite shows was Lost In Space. Looking at it now, sure, it’s cheesy and all, but that robot is still pretty cool:

I’ve done a few of these “someday this will all be yours” cartoons. They’re not necessarily a cartoon staple like, say, the desert island, but they crop up now and again. And generally they’re not good news.

I used to work for a company that manufactured screws. Big screws, little tiny screws, simple screws, complicated screws, all kinds of screws.
It was actually kind of fascinating and I very much appreciate the business education I got there. But the one thing I hated was the customer screw…

Goodness knows that just about everything has been done with the in/out bin, but I like to challenge myself to come up with something new now and again just to keep the ol’ noggin running smoothly.
Normally I begin by looking for pairs of words that work together: research and development,…

Animals in meetings are funny. They just are. Whenever I’m stumped for a cartoon, I take a random species, populate a conference room with it and see what happens.
For this cartoon it was cats. What would they talk about? What was their agenda? Would they all be asleep?
Before this final…
