Its a Marathon, not a Sprint!

May 21st, 2008 by Administrator

This is a nice illustrations of what famous characters would look like if they look their age:

Dennis the Menace is 57 years old, Bug Bunny is 67.
Felix the Cat is 88, Charlie Brown is 57.
PopEye is 79, and Tom and Jerry is 68.

My business cartoon is still 2 months old. Maybe I am in too much of a rush to make it succeed. Remind me that things like this is not a sprint, but a marathon, and it is really the persistence and the sticktoitiveness that makes things succeed.

Prtestor Tosses eggs at Ballmer

Protester tosses eggs at Ballmer

Steve Ballmer is accustomed to audiences tossing difficult questions in his direction. Eggs are a different matter entirely.

Microsoft’s CEO was forced to take cover behind a desk Monday during an appearance at a university in Budapest, Hungary, when a man in the audience interrupted to protest — and then threw three eggs at Ballmer.

1,000 downloads on my e-book!

May 20th, 2008 by Administrator

Sometime today, i reached 1,000 downloads in my e-book eNGY Business Cartoons Book 1.

It took about 5 weeks to hit it.

For those interested, over 965 downloads were the Black and White edition ( but no registration required), and 35 downloaded the colored edition ( but need to leave their email and subscribe to the newsletter).

I am hoping for the day it will hit 5,000 downloads. Of course by next month, i am hoping to make available book 2 for free download as well.
