Hugh — don’t know if this is a new one — or an old one? But it’s fucking brilliant…
drew it this morning, davidcoe
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

oh GOD yes. that’s the exact same message i’ve been trying to pound into the head of people at my work.
you mind if i print of 85 copies of this cartoon to pass around the office?
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?
sure, simon, go ahead =)
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!
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…”
–Matt
Passion or Money?
A few days ago I had an exchange with Hugh Mcleod about a post he’d done where he was talking about using your industry’s biggest blogs to advertise your own. That’s advice that should work for those of you considering
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 =)
