Funny Clip Art?
Hey, anybody know of any cartoon, or funny clip art? I'm looking for stuff
that's in the public domain... something to spice up a dull presentation. Stuff like the Far Side stuff, Dilbert, etc. is all good (but it's copyrighted, right) |

Funny Clip Art?
Personally I find most audiences are immune to clip art so I tend to use
animated Gifs and there are several sites which offer some free. Try: http://www.webarrow.net/graphics/animation/bodyparts/ or http://www.animfactory.com/ or even http://www.clipart.co.uk/html/animfact.shtml Also worth trying http://www.a1freesoundeffects.com/household.html for a few different sounds! I get the best laughs when I pretend that the presentation has a life of its own that I can't quite control. The animated gifs can really help there. i.e. animate, wait for laugh, look round at screen whilst removing source of laughter, ask why laughing and repeat. Good presenting!

Good stuff - thanks!
I find that a Dilbert or a Far Side can really grab your audience's attention - but what I'm working in now isn't for "private use", so I can't use those popular comics.

The New Yorker has good comics, and you can purchase copyrights/pay usage
fees online -- and they're fairly inexpensive. Just thought I'd toss that out in case you're looking for those kinds of comics. -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com "Bill" wrote in message ... Good stuff - thanks!

Have you tried contacting the owners of these strips?
They might be willing to give you permission to use them. Copyright means you need permission, not that everything is off limits. -----Original Message----- Good stuff - thanks!

I had contacted the owner of Dilbert last year, and the response I got was a
firm, flat "No". Userfriendly at www.userfriendly.org is a lot more, uh, friendly(!) "Sari" wrote in message ... Have you tried contacting the owners of these strips?
