[…] Hugh tem uma capacidade genial de desenhar cartoons que explicam um conceito de forma inteligente e bem humorada. Por exemplo, ele diz que qualquer negócio precisa ser um objeto social, ou algo que as pessoas queiram falar sobre. Outro termo que ele usa é cubicle grenades, que é uma granada social. Uma forma pequena e poderosa de gerar conversa. Os cartoons dele (veja vários abaixo) são uma forma muito interessante de explicar o que é uma cubicle grenade. […]

I have my "cube grenades" on the wall in my hallway at home, see picture: http://www.belowbelief.com/archives/2009/05/crazy-deranged-fools.php where they regularly get conversations started when guests come round. And I regularly "throw grenades" into an emailed newsletter at work to cause trouble or just to make people take things less seriously. They do cause a raised eyebrow here and there sometimes. Thanks for letting us use them in this way Hugh and yes - I might very well upgrade to the "higher quality" version soon.

I don’t have any walls by my desk, but have created a screen saver featuring some of my fave cartoons.

I planted a Cube Grenade of “If you talked to people the way advertising …” behind my desk (on an ad agency).
It stood there for 3 years.
Nobody bother to asked me what it meant or who did it.
So last Friday, my last day (i resigned), i posted on the monitor and left, and on my goodbye email i launched my last grenade and emailed everyone at the Office the Cluetrain Manifesto. Maybe that would help.
I look forward to keep throwing more cube Grenades on my new job. May I borrow some of the cartoons of your new book? (still have to order it though, as i missed the chance to get a free one).
Keep those Cube Grenades coming, Hugh.

@John Rutter: in Windows XP and above, use the My Pictures Slideshow screensaver, which should be included in a standard installation. Create a folder of Hugh’s cartoons, somewhere within My Pictures perhaps, and set the Slideshow Screensaver to use that folder as its picture source (right-click on the desktop and select screensaver, then find “My Pictures Slideshow”).
And this is of course very possible in most other GUI-based modern operating system. Those more familiar with OS-X and/or Ubuntu/Gnome/KDE/X-ScreenSaver can perhaps enlighten us.
