It’s a cool cartoon and all, but I really do hate to compare web developers with physicians. Sorry.

LOL, I love this one. Sums up other fields like programming, systems and database administration. Just you know PHP, some MySQL, and a Linux distro doesn’t make you an expert in any field

Ain’t it the truth, then again… the irony is what makes it so funny. Love these cartoons N.C.!

This is gold. I need to send this to my uncle who thinks because he can resize something in illustrator that makes him a designer.

Muhehe. I can remember dozens amateur discussions about the “better” and “proffesional” software, where designer was judged by his soft…

When I told family that I had just finished a digital media course, and that it was basically web design that I learned about, my 30-something cousin…
“Oh I’m thinking about getting into web design. There’s lots of money in it and I have this program called coverpage or something which makes it really simple, I wont need to do anything.”
Oh CRINGE!
I love freelance Freedom

Heh, awesome. This is very true! A lot of my friends have asked me to help them get started, saying that it can’t be that hard and will only take a few days to get into it, all they need is a book to tell them what to do. =/

So true!! I met a guy on an Action Script3 update course, he was exactly like this. He bought the whole creative suite but his portfolio looks like sh*t.

Ha….this is hilarious because im a web developer at a medical school! I have even had a medical student try to one up my design in some lame dumbed down version of flash….things were flying across the screen! All the while he thinks his design is more professional….

I know I’m overthinking this, but it’s just a funny thought…Why was he carrying around a stethescope? I’ve been watching this strip for a a while and this designer main character is the wierdest guy I’ve ever seen. lol.

funny but true,
Nobody is declared a professional writer just because they know their way around MS Word!
The same should apply with other fields, esp creative.

LOL, I know quite a few individuals who instead of paying a developer/designer; like me or you - will use software or frontpage to design a site and I just laugh. I love how someone can click a few buttons and consider themselves a true dev… HIlarious!

Strikes me as a little bitter.
If you have talent, you will succeed without having to belittle people who want to try something on their own.
I wonder how many designers run every bit of text they work on by an editor (since designers aren’t degreed in English)?
There are lots of terrible degreed designers who turn out terrible work. There are a lot of people without degrees who turn out wonderful work.

Haha, that’s good… except that being a doctor requires a phD, and being a designer doesn’t require a degree of any kind (not to say you wouldn’t benefit by getting one).

Same applies to photography. Too many people now get a digital SLR and start XYZ photography.

Thanks for reminding us that design is about _the design_, not the latest software.

Stereotype of all the “webdesigners” out there.
Thanks for sharing.
