Freelance Freedom #234: Translation Monkey Returns



11 Comments

Once a week, we feature a fantastic freelance-themed comic from the talented N.C. Winters. Why not also take a look at our comic archive?

N.C. Winters is always drawing. When he isn't making comics, doodling or working as a freelance graphic artist, he spends his time painting pretty pictures for galleries from his home studio in sunny southern California.

    I don’t care how much that monkey costs, I want one, no I need him. Wonder what else he could do.
    Great fun!

    I had a client who kept saying “make it more elegant.” After about the 5th iteration, I asked her if she wanted me to put it in a ball gown.

    So need a monkey too . . . especially for “make it more corporate” or “I’ll know what I want when I see it.”

    My most frustrating client request was (on a business card): “Make the font more… FUN!”.

    Never before have I had a practical use for Comic Sans.

    Could have used one at my former job. One ad sales rep always things “classy” or to “stand out more.” She got annoyed when I said I couldn’t read minds. Oh, and the monkey would also be a much better manager than my old boss.

    Where was this monkey when I needed him!?

    But seriously, I just discovered your Freelance Freedom strip and need to know what your reprint policy is. We offer free home-based business coaching to help others make the most of their freelance life and must share this! Will attribution and some link juju do? Please!

      @jim – glad you’re enjoying the Client Translation Monkey. I want one for my office.

      Unfortunately, we don’t allow reposting of the Freelance Freedom comic strip elsewhere. We appreciate your understanding. Thx.

    Ha … is there also an “Agency Translation Monkey”? I’d need one, no matter the costs! :D

    cu, w0lf.

    ps: the comment form validation process is quite user-unfriendly. I’d suggest adding some kind of “this field is required”-info to the form. Just lost my while comment thanks to it X-(
