the “ignore everybody” cartoon

Last week, Patrick Bren­nan was stuck in an air­port lounge for seve­ral hours, wai­ting for his con­nec­ting flight. To kill time, he star­ted mes­sing around visually on his com­pu­ter with the forty chap­ter tit­les of my upco­ming book, “Ignore Every­body”. He came up with this, then emai­led it to me.
I liked it so much, I went ahead and re-worked it, in my own handw­ri­ting. Very cool. If I ever publish it as a limited-edition print, Patrick, I’ll make damn sure you get a copy. Thanks so much!

    I was rea­ding all of the inte­res­ting advice on the card and then came to “ignore every­body” and deci­ded to ignore the rest. ;)

    Shouldn’t he get a slice of the pie, and not just his own copy?!
    Loo­king for­ward to the book.

    Depends on how evil and capi­ta­list I’m fee­ling at the time we actually have a pie to slice, Aaron ;-)
    I’ll do the right thing, regardless…
