MEETING SKETCHES

Since I can't guarantee that all future strips will be on time or there at all, I'll introduce a little something I like to call "Meeting-Kritzeleien". Basically, these are just scans of drawings I'm doodling during business meetings. The advantage: Despite being drawn exclusively with a ball pen (pencils are for sissies), these sketches usually are much cleaner than the ones I do on the subway and are drawn on white paper. Remember: Always take notes during meetings. :-)

Oh, and don't worry about me: I've long since perfected the art of listening and drawing at the same time. Actually, it even helps me concentrate, and our CEOs seem to be quite tolerant when it comes to that. Clicking on the thumbnails takes you to a larger image, of course. Have fun!

I think I might have been in a bad mood here (exit wounds usually are a dead giveaway).	I'll never understand why I started out with this ugly guy in the middle of all things...	Looks like a rather quick meeting, during which my mood gradually got better (guns to girls:-).
Yeah, well - I kinda rode the exotic train here. Plus, comic proportions don't always look good.	Nice: Joe as IKEA reindeer. In other news, my concept "Fun Sports: Biathlon" (note the UZI) was refused.	Another short meeting. Just one scribble, and no 3D perspective at that, but still nice.
One shitty meeting. More work, less time to get it done. Great.	Short meeting. Short meetings good. Me like.	Various issues discussed. Apparently, I just read "Powers".
Maaan, this was a short one. Barely got the outlines done on this sketch.	Rather long meeting, but with a lot "Look at this diagram", i.e. "Stop drawing!" Ugly Spider-man, btw.	Short-ish meeting. I think I like the drawing in the upper right best.
The evening before, the German soccer team was slaughtered 1:5 by Romania... :-)	Another meeting, at some point in May. Can't remember anything noteworthy, sorry.	Argh. Another fine day in July 2004 spent on meetings, from 10am to 6pm. Yaaay...
Two short meetings. Nothing special.	Long meeting, crappy pen.	Actually two meetings. Pretty short ones, though.
Hmmm... "Productivity" meetings that take up a whole day of working time...	Originally, I didn't want to post this drawing at all. Mostly rubbish, especially "Santa's Cat".	Boy, that was long: From 9AM to 5PM. I just wanted to get home after that...
Can't even remember  what the matter was  here. Apparently, I was  in a bad mood...	Pretty short meeting. Didn't have to say much, too. Hey! I'll have you know I CAN be quiet!	Wow! This meeting turned out so long, I not only drew two pages of doodles...
... but also used up my pen in the progress. Luckily, there were other people not needing theirs.	Apparently, it took several meetings (at least two) to fill this page. Looks like I was pressed for time...	Short meeting, nothing fancy. Well, that's nice, too, for a change.
08/09/2005: Can't really tell what was going on here, but I think it's a safe bet that the colleagues still play WoW.	09/14/2006: Well, either we really had not that many meetings over the last year, or I've just been been gettin lazy...	12/07/2006: As I'm not about to draw a regular strip anytime soon, here's another sheet of sketches.
