Calling In Life

I visited my daughter Anjuli's 2nd grade class recently (she's the teacher, not a student) to explain what an engineer does and help the students build towers with paper cups, Popsicle sticks and tin foil. All of the students were bright and very cute...

...and more like the kid on the right.

The Right Brain

You wouldn't know it by most of the cartoons I've drawn (including this one), but I hate the stereotype of the nerdy, pencil-neck-geek number-crunching engineer with thick glasses and an undeveloped right brain. Yet, here I go again, advancing the engineer geek stereotype in another cartoon.
.
Though many engineers do seem to have a relatively undeveloped creative right brain when compared with their analytical left brain, the best engineers are both very analytical and highly creative.
.
For reference, I have included a scale drawing of my own brain scan in Figure 4.

Hanging Ducks

Despite protests from activists, the building code still says it's perfectly legal to hang your duck.

(It is, however, a code violation to pinch it.)

No ducks were harmed in the making of this cartoon

We've Decided Not To Participate Again

With the recession still in full swing at the beginning of 2010, I modified our 2009 Happy New Year card and sent it out again. I hope it will not be necessary to recycle this same cartoon in 2011.

Happy Holidays 2009

This is similar to cartoons I've done every year since December 1998 for the Christmas cards we mail to clients. They always include pot-bellied elves, reindeer, and my face as Santa or an elf. Now we mail out happy New Year cards instead, so the Christmas cartoon goes in our December e-news.

Leave It As A Shell

No doubt Bob's Construction was selected for this job because of their high caliber work.

Lots of Fish, One Worm

This looks more like a newspaper editorial cartoon, but I wanted to draw something that represented the current (as of February 2010) reality for everyone I know in the construction industry.
