coming soon: portfolio number two

14 Comments

[One of the car­toons from the book etc.…]
After the great suc­cess of the “Port­fo­lio Num­ber One” launch, we’ve deci­ded to do another one i.e. Port­fo­lio Num­ber Two.
And like last time, all ima­ges cho­sen will be taken from my book, IGNORE EVERYBODY.
So if you’ve read the book already, I’d love to hear your feed­back. Which cartoon(s) from the book do you think would make good “cube gre­na­des”? Please feel free to leave a com­ment below, Thanks!

   One of the best car­toons see­med to have been mis­sed out in the book: “I don’t want to be friends — I want to eat you.”!

   The power­point car­toon — I think I pro­bably laughed the har­dest at that one — clas­sic and way too true.

   My vote for cube gre­nade —>

   another really good one that sur­pri­singly didn’t make it to the book was “haun­ted by his own poten­tial” ! Excellent !

   wel­come to nobody cares… is defi­ni­tely one of my favou­ri­tes.
   i also liked ‘i let jesus into my heart, no the bas­tard won’t fuc­king leave’ and ‘qua­lity isn’t job one. being totally fuc­king ama­zing is job one’ quite a lot.

   I agree with the first com­ment here…
   “I don’t want to be friends — I want to eat you” has always been my favou­rite car­toon of yours, I have a copy on my desk at work

    What a tough ques­tion! I loved all of the above, of course, and from the book, “3 little words,” is like an R D Laing poem. That and “how DARE you love me…” Those are deep. Then there’s the indict­ment of our pos­si­ble gro­wing ina­bi­lity to relate inti­ma­tely: “Was it good for you?“
    Scathing! “I no lon­ger have fee­lings” is too true of our erstwhile money-grubbing/consumer society. Hope­fully the sil­ver lining of our cri­ses – eco and finan­cial – will usher in a glo­bal return (as in the Hun­dredth Mon­key Theory) of said fee­lings.
    You know I could go on.….….….…..

    any car­toons ratt­ling around with the “human tape­worm” theme? “Com­pa­nies that squelch crea­ti­vity…” is my favo­rite chap­ter, but the car­toons don’t fit the con­tent exactly.

    Hugh–
    enrich/simplify for a cube gre­nade and for busi­ness cards we can order.
    I’ve just finished the book. It was f’ing awe­some. I loved the for­mat, style, and con­tent. Its abso­lu­tely per­ti­nent to anyone acti­vely trying to do something spe­cial with their lives.
    Thanks for put­ting it all out there.

    Love the book and your cards. The for­mat is great…an easy read with lots of humor and just the right amount of real advice and ins­pi­ra­tion. Thanks!
