As you may have noticed I do a lot of graph cartoons. I like them because for such a simple setup it offers almost endless possibilities.
Most times I play with the graph as it’s the focal point of the image, but I like to try to change things up by playing off other components; in this case the meeting’s presenter and audience.
By simply changing out the standard characters and replacing them with something more outlandish, this cartoon wrote itself. Plus it’s just fun to look at!

You should study Forex graphs then. You get to play with all sorts of like Japanese Candlesticks. Plus there’s so many different ways to measure them that you’ll have a ton of cartoon ideas.
This was a fun read – short, sweet, and interesting. I like seeing a different perspective like this.

Jeff Machado: You are right about technical trading graphs. You will find plenty of fascinating names and patterns, like “head and shoulders”, stars, crows, clouds, etc.

Nice!. It would be fun playing around with the overlay curves that are plotted directly on top of the price curve, used to compare the price curve with perceived market trends, and may react when the price curve intersects particular overlay curves such as the Bollinger Band. It would make another good cartoon
Cute cartoon Mark. Keep them coming.

Nice post Mark Anderson! I appreciate your work and I think it is a nice way of attracting people. Because whenever there is new thing then there will be a suspense created about that thing and people dying to see which thing it is? Animation is also a nice way of capturing the eye of people. The same thing has done by catsdir.com which captures the huge and valuable visitor’s eye.
Ah well Mark – most businesses wouldn’t think of themselves this way, but financially you are spot on.
Cheers!
