how about something on cloud maturity?
If, as we suggest, it will take 7 years to mature, that is some cloud.

Very good and the laugther gave me enough energy for the day.

I’m looking forward for your cartoon on Events and Services, like the pitch you used to give on Gartner shows.

Cool. Quite the artist, even if one of your characters looks a little like a Doonesbery guy.

You could have the cloud disappear (with say the guy lying down on it like a bed) to signify the vendor failing, and then falling back to earth.

You could have the guy try to look inside the cloud, and just see more cloud, indistinguishable. A ref to the “what’s inside the cloud?” problem of transparency. Or the Bugs Bunny run in air thing when the cloud disappears.

Maybe a “where’s the CPU?” campaign, ala Wendy’s “Where’s the beef?” approach. Have the evil PR guy for the cloud be in sales, ala Dilbert.

Something will occur to you.

Cute! Especially like the PC -AT like image…Did the old ATs even have connectivity? Or was it just external modems? I wonder how many will attempt to use the cloud from outdated equipment.
