Dorothy's Last Stand

In looking back through old personal emails, I came across a list of old CoV ideas and found one that I am pretty sure I never used. As usual, my notes only had the final punch line of "and your hot dog, too" written down.

Slow and Steady Wins the Race

Yes, they really do allow guide horses now. Check it out here. So, why not guide tortoises? Well, I mean except for the speed. You'd already be run over before the tortoise could stop you from entering a crowded road.

Literally Too Literal

Someone said "Knock yourself out" the other day and the phrase stuck with me. So, I wondered how I could make fun of it. Obviously, one way would be to interpret the idiom literally.

Movin' On Up

 I wanted to create another work-related comic, and decided there must be something I could do with a graph getting turned upside down. This won't work much longer since all presentations will be electronic.

Be a Nubile Newbie

I was talking to a teammate earlier this week and asked some questions about how things were done. She said, "You worked here for four years. You know how everything works." I explained that the new org structure and a change in my responsibilities make me a newbie." She wondered how long I could get away with that, and my answer was, "I'll tell you in a CoV." So, what about today's post title? Nothing. I just wanted something that kind of rhymed with newbie.

Give Them a Big Hand

This was just a silly idea I had about the perils of having a hand as large as a foam hand. It would be an inconvenience. I decided against having a final response such as "don't look at me" or "tomorrow, wear a kilt." Unfortunately, I could not figure out how to color it exactly like the guy's arm in the tool I use. Oh well, a swollen hand would look a different color anyway. right?

I Bet He Likes That Tree

 My note to myself with this idea just said downward dog - pee. I was not sure why someone would do that, so my initial challenge was to think a semi-plausible reason to have someone do that act. Aha. Act led to actor which led to someone trained in the method.
