Just saw this. Painful, but oh so true. Applies to signs too!

It's way too true. I'm working on an illustration for a client right now that she might as well have drawn herself after all the changes and ridiculousness.
Thanks for the laugh.

Love that site. The new Thanksgiving and Christmas comics are awesome. The Bobcats series is pretty good as well.

Yeah.
And as a side note I could take 25 Justin Biebers in a fight.

Oldie but goodie. Spawned a term I use "don't be a pencil". If a co-worker or freelance buddy is complaining about something like this I just say "don't be a pencil" and they get the point, pardon the pun.

I haven't laughed so hard in a while.
I really like the mouse cursor metaphor, because that is how I feel doing logo designs sometime. They don't want you to really design but to channel to you all the vague crap in their head and make it look good.

Comic Sans rocks! (what's wrong with you guys?)
Actually this is too funny. So very, very true of some clients of ours.
