The Art of The Chart

Here’s a humorous speech I did last fall that incorporated humorous chart ideas from several funny sources:

• Jessica Hagy of Indexed
• Standup comedian Demetri Martin
• Graphjam.com

It is interesting that, even though the audience could read the punchlines in the charts, they laughed the most when it was explained to them.

Great fun and lots of useful learning.

One thing I re-learned is that hand drawing charts is very labor intensive. I sketched out the chart first on paper, then transferred it to the chart.  It took many hours and nearly the whole pad.  PowerPoint is way easier!
