not everybody’s cut out for “normal”
Another new cartoon for the Rackspace series.…
Basically, I took the old “George” idea and re-jigged it, adding the trademark Rackspace red & black.
And hey, it worked.
I see this cartoon going in the slide deck of Rackspace’s recruiters.
We’re not a ‘normal’ company etc. It’s OK not to be ‘normal’ etc. ‘Normal’ is boring etc.
It’s easy for a small company to have a distinct personality. Much harder when the company has grown a lot, like Rackspace has done in the last few years.
Much harder to NOT be normal…

A new cartoon sent out every weekday morning to your inbox [RSS version here.].
A wee chuckle to start your day off right etc.
This reminds me of the Simpson’s episode when Homer had to go to work in a pink shirt, and he said; “But, I’m not popular enough to be different.”

you always put a smile on my face — thank you for that
I love the message.
What do you think of a version of this cartoon where the red guy looks a little different other than just his color (i.e. he’s taller, or has two hands, or is facing a different direction, etc) ?
[…] The cartoon above? Just seemed to fit this blog post. It was done by Hugh Macleod for Rackspace in a post titled “not everybody’s cut out for ‘normal.’” […]
Hi!
This kind of cartoons are warmly welcomed were I come from. What is normal and what isn’t? Is there anything that is perfectly normal in this world? I don’t know.
I think much of the same questions than you on my blog, but a bit more twisted way, I guess. Check it if you can and leave your comment on it:

Well, cartoon says something then it would give benefit of using it, if it is looking just cartoon then it is not so good.
