Hi Hugh, just discovered your site about 1 month a go. Starts my day on the right note. Really enjoy this one. In my case the dialogue should be:
"I like my product, customer(s) who know about us like my product but I have no clue how to get people to know about my product !!!!"

"You're worse than a fucking moron"

May be you can draw something for this.
Cheers
Lan

and of course, "of" = "off" in my above post. *smacks forebrain*

Not at all, Torch. Print away! ;-)

Hugh, you say the same thing about marketing that C S Lewis said about writing children's books. You're more concise, he uses more elegant language, but the message is the same.

Fan-tastic!

Dear Hugh,

Am now back in South Africa. When I have spare time from my obsession with God am getting people here to drink the blog kool-aid.

Would love to use this cartoon in a proposal am busy writing (with full credit and link of course). May I?

oooh! May I use this in a presentation next week at the Blog Business Summit? It would be such a perfect ending to it. (With credit, of course!)

sure janet, go ahead =)

A wee bit of beer shot out of my nose on that one, f--king brilliant!

Posted by: Cupie at August 13, 2005 3:11 AM

Brilliant as usual. I've been thinking and writing a lot lately about data mining blogs for market research. For some of these folks this cartoon could read...

"How does my company use blogs to measure WOM about a product..."

I love it - I also sometimes get people in my company saying "I'm interested in blogs - how can I use them for this product/annoucement/etc." ... at which point I smack my forhead and groan. Hugh - would greatly appreciate if I can pre-empt some of these convos by sharing this ;-).

Sure Jeff, go right ahead =)
