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.
