Noise to Signal (one funeral-goer to another, while a giant backchannel is projected behind someone delivering a eulogy) I'm just saying, not every event needs a backchannel.

Wow, everyone - thanks for the feedback! I wasn't sure how well this one worked, so I'm thoroughly chuffed by the comments!

Noise to Signal Happy Thanksgiving to our American friends. (We Canadians celebrated in October, which means our turkey leftovers are almost half finished.)

Noise to Signal (one programmer looking over another's shoulder at a computer, while behind them a rampaging robot destroys a city) See? You forgot to close a parenthesis in its master control program.

Noise to Signal (alien to two army generals in Roswell, 1947) Your primitive organizational culture is not ready for our advanced social media technology. Call us in 60 years or so.

Noise to Signal A little fun from my blog: How Fox News Wanted to Cover the Water-on-the-Moon story. http://www.robcottingham.ca/2009/11/how-fox-news-wanted-to-cover-todays-nasa-news/

A few hints: HTML works fine, but if you want a web address to appear properly (especially a long complex one), please use tags -- WordPress does ugly and unfortunate things to things like ampersands.

Noise to Signal (man in a bar to his friend) Life needs an 'Undo' command.

This is so funny. One time back in my "work-straight-for-five-days" days, I was so in the design production space that when I accidentally knocked over a binder and spilled its contents, my first reaction was not to pick it up. My first reaction was -- literally, in my head --"Command Z".

Upon realizing that there was no undo button for life, I decided it was time to sleep, eat and leave my home office for a while.

Noise to Signal Hey, amigas and amigos: I'm launching prints of Noise to Signal cartoons - and I'd like you to help me choose the first 3 to get the full limited-edition, signed-and-numbered treatment. (Bonus incentive: your suggestion could win you a print of your own!) Here's where it's all happening: http://www.socialsignal.com/bl...og/rob-cottingham/help-me-choose-noise-signal-limited-edition-prints-and-win-a-print-yourself
