A cartoon about public speaking may have a different title than you expected, and be part of a larger scene










On January 9, 2019 I had blogged about how there were Free cartoon images of public speakers at Wikimedia Commons. The example shown above using nine would be useful for marketing  Toastmasters. Then on January 10, 2019 I had blogged about Free cartoon images of people presenting graphics at Wikimedia Commons

















There are even more useful cartoons at Wikimedia Commons, as are shown above via four examples put into a PowerPoint slide, but you need to ‘think outside the box’ to find them.























The woman at the left holding notes was cropped from the cartoon shown above, which is titled A Cartoon Business Woman Filming A Corporate Video. The second one is a Happy Cartoon Woman Filming A Marketing Ad By Herself. The third one is a Cartoon Female Reporter Being Filmed by A Cameraman. The fourth one is a Cartoon Woman Asking for Another Take While Filming.  

















Another four examples of men are shown above in a PowerPoint slide. The first man at the left was cropped, flipped horizontally, and recolored from a cartoon titled Cartoon Man Filming A Business Client For A Marketing Video. The second man is from another titled Cartoon Man Being Filmed For A Corporate Marketing Video. The third man is from yet another titled Happy Cartoon Man Being Filmed For A Marketing Video. The fourth is from still another titled A Charming Cartoon Man Filming A Business Client For A Marketing Video.

Those less than obvious titles remined me of a story that famous physicist Richard P. Feynman told about being a graduate student at Princeton. It is titled A Map of the Cat? and appeared in the 1985 book Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman!:

“….This and that muscle were named but I hadn’t the foggiest idea of where they were located in relation to the nerves or to the cat. So I went to the librarian in the biology section and asked her if she could find me a map of the cat.   

‘A map of the cat, sir?’ she asked horrified. ‘You mean a zoological chart!’ From then on there were rumors about some dumb biology graduate student who was looking for ‘a map of the cat.’ “
