This was a true collaboration with Sam. He came up with the Olympic description seen on the right and I added the cartoon visual idea. Did everyone "get" the visual joke? I'm never always sure how much I need to say for a joke to work. People's comedic sophistication continues to evolve but not always evenly. Sam's generation will understand a joke with less information than maybe my mother-in-law's. On the other hand, I do this largely to amuse myself, so what do I care. Well, I do care as it's no fun if nobody gets your joke.
