Small cartoons about founder-led content, LinkedIn, and the things we see every day running these programs. Hung big, like they deserve.

The collection

Cartoon: an excited Caps Lock key with a megaphone yelling 'This post is going viral' next to an annoyed Control key with a clipboard saying 'It has four impressions.'

Caps Lock vs. Control

Loud doesn't mean reached. The quiet, consistent post often wins where it matters.

Cartoon: an Enter key character labeled 'THE FOUNDER' saying 'It's ready. Ship it.' while pressing a 'PUBLISH' button, and a Delete key character labeled 'THE EDITOR' saying 'I found three more words.' while crossing out lines on a page.

The Founder vs. The Editor

Every great post is a negotiation between the voice that wants to ship and the voice that wants to cut.

Six-panel comic. 1) IK at a desk says 'We need one good hook.' 2) Option key rushes in with a stack of 17 papers: 'I brought seventeen.' 3) Shift key holds a paper labeled 'HOOK': 'Make it bigger.' 4) Delete key shreds 16 papers: 'Make it clearer.' 5) Enter key presses 'PUBLISH': 'Make it live.' 6) A phone shows 'NEW DEMO' as the team celebrates: 'Exactly as planned.'

One Good Hook

The best hook usually starts as seventeen. Then Shift makes it bigger, Delete makes it clearer, and Enter makes it real.

Six-panel comic: Command presents 'the perfect plan', Option brings seventeen alternatives, they argue over alignment vs. options, Enter quietly posts something, a new customer appears, and Command says 'exactly as I planned' while Option sulks.

No. 05 / Sep 2026

The Master Plan

Command has the perfect plan. Option has seventeen others. Enter ships a post — and a new customer arrives. Which plan worked? None of them.

Six-panel comic: a post gets 4 impressions, Caps Lock blames a lack of capital letters and rewrites it as 'WE ARE CHANGING EVERYTHING', it still gets 4 impressions, and Delete drags Caps Lock toward the trash saying 'I found the problem.'

No. 06 / Sep 2026

The Viral Formula

Caps Lock is sure the post flopped because it needed more capital letters. One hour later: four impressions. Delete found the problem.

Six-panel comic: Tab keeps declaring each new idea 'the one', piles up Ideas 1 through 5, Enter can't decide which to ship, Tab has yet another new idea, and the final panel reads 'Nothing was shipped.'

No. 07 / Sep 2026

The Next Idea

Tab keeps finding a better idea. Five ideas later, Enter is buried in drafts. Nothing was shipped.

Six-panel comic: Caps Lock keeps adding 'one more thing' to an 'Every word matters' post while Space suffocates under the text; the post gets saved 127 times, and when asked what was added, Space answers 'Nothing.'

No. 08 / Sep 2026

Too Much to Say

Every word matters, so Caps Lock keeps adding one more thing. Space can't breathe — and the saved post had nothing added at all.

Six-panel comic: Command proudly plans 30 posts, Tab gets bored and suggests a new idea, the calendar ends up covered in sticky notes, Enter approves one and publishes, and the team agrees the calendar was beautiful — as Enter dances off.

No. 09 / Sep 2026

The Content Calendar

The month was planned. Then Tab got bored, twelve sticky notes later nothing matched the calendar, and somehow Enter approved the chaos anyway.

Eight-panel comic titled 'When a client drops this in Slack': 1) 9:07 AM — a client messages the Slack channel '#invisible-keyboard' saying 'Interesting news. Might be something here.' with a 'NEW INDUSTRY REPORT' file. 2) The IK character smiles at a laptop saying 'GOT IT.' 3) Option key carries a stack of 17 papers saying 'SEVENTEEN HOOKS.' while Shift key holds one paper saying 'ONE STRONG ANGLE.' 4) Delete key edits the report saying 'CUT THE FLUFF.' while Space key spreads out text saying 'LET IT BREATHE.' 5) 11:18 AM — IK messages back 'READY WHEN YOU ARE.' with a 'POST READY FOR REVIEW' file. 6) 11:31 AM — the client replies 'LOOKS GREAT. APPROVED.' with an approved stamp. 7) 11:42 AM — Enter key presses a 'PUBLISH' button saying 'LIVE.' 8) A phone shows 'POST LIVE' and 'NEW INBOUND LEAD' while IK says 'YOUR IDEA. EVERYWHERE.'

When a Client Drops This in Slack

A client drops an industry report in Slack at 9:07 AM. By 11:42 AM the post is live — and already pulling a new inbound lead.
