This kind of cartoon post happens when you’re writing about data visualization in front of a Christmas tree. An Infographic to Santa Santa’s naughty list dashboard Dataviz Sweater Party
Robin Kipke December 2, 2014 at 11:57 am Love this! Especially like the idea of a kid trying to get Santa’s attention with an infographic. Reply
Chris Lysy December 2, 2014 at 12:16 pm That’s my favorite too, but feels like we may be in the minority there 🙂 Reply
Isaac Castillo December 2, 2014 at 12:12 pm I love the sweater one as well – probably one of my all time favorites that you have done. Because I am fairly certain that would actually happen. Reply
Chris Lysy December 2, 2014 at 12:17 pm Very true, although some type of 3D chart may sneak in. But it would ruin the cartoon. Reply
Ann Rosenfield December 2, 2014 at 5:18 pm Love it. But who is going to tell Dancer that he’s been replaced by a Dashboard? I’m not sure he ever got over the addition of Rudolf. Reply
Chris Lysy December 3, 2014 at 9:19 am No worries Ann, the reindeer are safe. Santa is pretty eco-conscious and reindeer fly on Christmas magic, which is a renewable resource. Reply
Lisa Richardson December 10, 2014 at 1:14 pm Hmmmm……I wonder how long it would take to knit an ugly Christmas pie-chart sweater? Reply
