Posted by: hugh macleod at August 11, 2005 3:25 PMHi 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

Posted by: Torch at August 11, 2005 5:03 PMNot at all, Torch. Print away! ;-)
Posted by: hugh macleod at August 11, 2005 7:35 PMHugh, 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.

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?
sure, simon, go ahead =)
Posted by: hugh macleod at August 12, 2005 11:36 AMoooh! 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!)
Posted by: janet at August 12, 2005 7:44 PMsure janet, go ahead =)
Posted by: hugh macleod at August 12, 2005 10:30 PMA wee bit of beer shot out of my nose on that one, f--king brilliant!
Posted by: Cupie at August 13, 2005 3:11 AMBrilliant 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..."
-Matt
Posted by: Matt Galloway at August 14, 2005 7:21 PMI 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 ;-).
