Albert Camus In A Beret Problogging Cartoon Blaughs

Since we started doing the cartoons for Irish Election, and it turned out that I actually enjoyed doing them, all sorts of other ideas started crossing my mind. I considered a sports related cartoon series but since Frank was always the weird looking kid wearing a beret and reading Albert Camus that no one ever wanted on their team, it seemed unlikely that he'd get into the idea. So then I thought you could do something pretty nifty with a tech news related theme - you know like pulling cartoon ideas from the blogosphere and stuff. That's when I started to take a more keen interest in sites like Problogger - which is when, entirely by coincidence, Chris Pirillo and Brad Fitzpatrick just made a new enemy. Actually none of the above is really that accurate, except the bit about the beret and Albert Camus. I think Frank would wet himself if I suggested we do more stuff anyway. Either how, Blaugh seems like a good idea, they'll certainly get more links back than we do, and I thought I'd mention it because Brad was the guy I stole the idea for cartoon feeds from. Not surprising then that they've got a range of different Blaugh feeds.
