Cartoon: Dressed for Success
Think of this post as a mashup of two of my favorite social media books: Naked Conversations meets Tactical Transparency.
And in the interest of transparency, I should disclose that I thought about slipping my Amazon affiliate code into those links, but decided not to.
As well, I should disclose that I'm surprised to discover I can become a tad embarrassed about drawing someone clad only in the clothes they were born in. And that I cartoon partly because of a neurotic need for attention. And that I dismissed two other ideas before drawing this one because they weren't quite social media-y enough, and a third because I suspect Gahan Wilson drew it a few decades ago.
I submit all of this in support of a theory of mine: that the future of corporate communications lies in boring audiences into submission through sheer information overload. Radical transparency and tactical transparency, you've met your match: tedious transparency.

Great cartoon!
I'm surprised "Radically Transparent" didn't come to mind. It's a great book! ;-)
So I've heard, Andy - it's high on my list to read!

Why wouldn't you insert your affiliate code? You're the one doing the referring; you should get credit. No?
@Kate, on my own blog I wouldn't hesitate. But when I'm writing for RWW, it feels like a wee bit of a conflict of interest.
Then again, if I was to disclose transparently...
@Rob - Fair point. I think the transparency would be key. And maybe if you claimed to be naked.
Wait, no, that can't be right.
Great Cartoon...
