Just about the time we think we’ve got the good life and we can lean back and relax, along comes an ADHD smarty-pants with a bigger and better mouseboat – who invites everyone to jump aboard for cheese – er, no charge. And if there’s no charge, there’s no bottom and everyone is on the same playing field. Sort of – except for earning/possessing the right writing chops and the number of pubbed clips.
But the fun side of this mouseboat is that each participant has the right to choose whether to stay on the bow and write, or to stay aft and provide good info for those up front.
Cool concept. Wish I’d thought of it, which I could have if I’d read Shankman’s book.

The best part is the ironic “truthiness” going on here:
First, that ProfNet will be (is?) taking a freefall nosedive due to the extremely viral permeation of HARO that is stealing its market share.
Second, that Peter is just nuts enough to have hopped sans a connected chute!
The one thing missing from the cartoon is Peter Twittering, mid-hop:
“literally freefalling from 10,000 right now. @ me an answer to this question: to de-pants Dave or NOT to de-pants Dave? Quick! Answer in the next two minutes!!”
Hi Peter
Great idea – fame in a cartoon! lol.
Just signed up.
Any reporter worth their salt (and pepper – balance in all things) might appreciate the links at Hodges’ model – with a strong coffee: e.g. http://www.p-jones.demon.co.uk/linksIV.htm
All the best

Ditto on Another Mary response #8. Unless I’ve already had my second morning tea, the order of the speech bubbles might send my brain into a shut-down cascade if I looked at it too long. I thought you were messing with us. Kewl to be a toon, though.

I think I know how this guy woul feel as sometime trying to get my company off the ground seems just like fiding out I do not have a parachute.
The Haro is the one parachute I do have as I am at least able to contribute and help some folks.

If he just turned around ever so slightly he might be able to grab the chute to save him, but I doubt he will. Awwwww…..

Well… it is called SKYdiving… not CHUTEdiving…

Im digging the muscle shirt you have on, lol

Uh, shouldn’t that cartoon be upside down the other way? Who reads bottom-up?
August 27th, 2008 at 3:48 pm
LMAO. Nothin’ quite like free-falling out of business…

Cool, Peter–mazel tov!
I find that when people give back, and HARO is certainly giving back, big time, good things happen. Looking forward to saying “mazel tov” a lot.

Way cool, Peter! You deserve your own cartoon. All this and sunshine on the balcony, too. A good day!
August 27th, 2008 at 4:05 pm
You know you’re big time when you appear in a comic. Congrats on your 2-D fame!
August 27th, 2008 at 4:33 pm
Rock on, Peter. Is that the shirt that’s coming in the mail??
August 27th, 2008 at 4:48 pm
Peter, you have boobs!
August 27th, 2008 at 5:35 pm

Nice rendering! Should have drawn with you with your cool jacket, though.
