Reusable Web Standards Cartoon

4/12/2021

Bottom Line: Here is a funny joke template that anyone can use/modify with this updateable PowerPoint cartoon about out-of-date dinosaurs needing to evolve to modern technical standards.

Idea Origination Story: I was on a project with a well-established systems integrator (unfamiliar with web standards) that insisted that open, reusable frameworks were unethical when designing a website. I found this funny and needed to gracefully excuse myself from that project so that I could capture that humor in an educational cartoon about web standards.

The result is this editable cartoon in PowerPoint that makes a joke about the demise of out-of-date dinosaurs forgetting to prepare for the rise of web based digital information.

Unfortunately there is no audience or business model to support this boneyard idea to make cartoons about technology. Please feel free to copy/update/share this as you see fit.

It's a horrible idea, but if you want to encourage these antics with your own "Who the fuck is Johnny Schlesser" (https://www.facebook.com/john.schlesser) t-shirt, follow these three (3) steps.
