Have you ever wondered what your code is doing when nobody is looking??? 😮

Here's my first (and worst) attempt at a comic strip about the secret life of labview objects. Enjoy! 😄

Groans welcome. 🙂

I'm sorry, I don't read webcomics without alt text.

P.S.

Nice Christian!

So are you opening this thread for others or can we all add our LV related comics here?

Excellent Altenback!

I like it 🙂 You should do a weekly version & copyright the concept. Next, you need to build a website and promote to the newspapers! 🙂

I have pretty clear ideas for about 10 more, but that's about it. I don't think syndication is an option, LOL! Soon the NI lawyers would be breathing down my neck or biting my ankles for misusing the copyrighted look and feel of LabVIEW icons/structures/wires.

Posting here is probably safe as parody exemption under fair use. However, I am not a lawyer! 😮

The audience "sandbox" is also pretty small. Readers outside the LabVIEW community would usually not "get it". Even here, some advanced understanding of LabVIEW might be needed in some cases to determine that it's actually not funny at all. 😄

I like it! You could even use a flat sequence structure to frame it all - although that might be bad comic form.

The flat sequence structure would fit in perfectly. Keep em coming.

Graphically, ti would look cool, but it would be logically incorrect because the frame items actually often repeat. Let me think about that....

Brilliant! I think NI should add these to their monthly Instrumentation newsletter.

I like the T-shirt idea I'm always looking to add to my LV T-shirt collection.

Great idea Toby.

Since it's a 'toon, it doesn't matter if it si logically incorrect... 😉

Hi altenbach,

i think it would be funnier if you connect a false constant, or use the other loop condition.
