Benefits: They Come From Consumers
Sometimes the best thing you can do in a cartoon is point out a simple truth. These cartoons are incredibly rewarding to write, and they almost never fail to resonate with readers.
I was pondering that sort of writing one day when I decided it might be fun to have a character in a cartoon point…
The Devil Is In the Details
I’m a big believer in focusing on the little things. On my site, for example, I’ve dithered for days on just a few pixels, wanting to get things to look just so. Of course, it can easily be taken too far, but I think the details matter.
I was discussing this with my wife one day and…
Stability: A Tad Uneasy?
Your standard sales graph cartoon usually shows a line moving up and down–a few highs and lows in there to make things interesting. But occasionally, I try to challenge myself a bit with something different.
Maybe the line only goes up, maybe it’s going backwards. Or maybe the line…
Are You Incentivized?
Verbing seems rampant lately. You take another part of speech, transform it into an action, and BAM! - you’ve got yourself a new word! (By the way, the fact that this is actually called “verbing” requires its own cartoon.)
One of the worst, in my opinion, is…
Agree to Disagree
I love words and phrases that sort of wrap around on themselves. A sentence that makes you read it again because it’s confusing is a lot of fun for me when writing captions.
Even I’m not sure what this guy means exactly, but you have to admire his total grasp of unwavering…
Through the Looking Glass
I do tons and tons of chart cartoons, and I’m always on the lookout for different graphic takes on what is basically a few straight lines and an arrow.
So one day, I drew my line and decided it looked like a branch. I drew some more offshooting branches, some leaves, etc. . . .but the joke…
It’s Lonely at the Top
This is a cartoon that started out as a doodle while I was on the phone. I suspect a good many of us are phone doodlers, and it probably never goes beyond whatever call we might be on. But after my call, I was left with what looked like a lawyer, a businessperson, and a problem: Who were these…
Pwned: What Does It Mean?
I, like most of my generation, am a gamer. Well, let me clarify that: I’m a casual gamer. I’ll take a few games of Dr. Mario or Peggle over a MMORPG any day.
Still, I’m online a lot, so I run across plenty of gaming culture and jargon. Take “pwned,” for example.…
Adjusting for Inflation
I try to avoid puns in cartoons. Generally, even though they’re usually popular, I think they’re a lazy path to a joke.
That being said, sometimes even I am not immune to their not-so-subtle charms. So beguiling. So simple. So hard to resist!
I attempted to lessen the effect in this…
