Cartoons

Why read news when you can read cartoons?

Most of the time I read news because that is what I do for a liv­ing. Yes, I am a pro­fes­sional reader. Kidding aside, being on top of the news is one of the require­ments for my job. Most of peo­ple I know think that I spend most of my time design­ing stuff and writ­ing code, which sounds like a dream, no? Well I actu­ally spend most of my time going to meet­ings, but that’s another story. So, on top of all the cod­ing, design­ing and going to meet­ings, I read news. But read­ing news is tir­ing and some­times even bor­ing, espe­cially when much of the same news is pub­lished by many dif­fer­ent news­pa­pers and blogs. I recently sub­scribed to the Time magazine’s Cartoon of the Week feed that show­cases the best car­toons of the week, duh! I find that these car­toons help me get the gist of the cur­rent events much faster than read­ing feeds and twit­ters. Below are a few inter­est­ing car­toons from last week. Enjoy.

This bril­liant use of illus­tra­tions to tell a very inter­est­ing story engaged me deeply. I highly rec­om­mend you read it.

I like this car­toon a lot. I found it from this web site.

Funny comic about architects

A funny comic about architects

I just stum­bled upon this one recently and thought it is pretty funny. I think it applies to design­ers and devel­op­ers as well.
