I came across this cartoon by Dave Coverly and thought it illustrated a point I wanted to make. I wrote for permission to use the image, but in the meantime realized that what I had written was not good enough for the cartoon. Coverly e-mailed his blessing (thanks Dave), but half a dozen attempts to write about it have failed, probably because it needs no elaboration. It's already perfect.
It reminds me of the ads that used to show up in the back of Rolling Stone that said, “Send $1 to find out how many people respond to this ad.” Those ads may still run, but I quit reading Rolling Stone when Donny and Marie went off the air.
Coverly has agreed to an interview which will appear in this space soon. In the meantime, check out his work at Speed Bump.
