A four-panel "clown makeup" meme humorously depicting the stages of overestimating time saved by scripting in R.

Panel 1: A man begins applying clown makeup. Caption: "I'm going to have to copy the results from the same analysis conducted on 4 datasets."

Panel 2: He applies more makeup. Caption: "I'll write an R script."

Panel 3: He puts on a rainbow wig. Caption: "It'll output the results for me in a clear and ready to edit format."

Panel 4: Fully dressed as a clown. Caption: "I'm going to save so much time as compared to copying and pasting."

I'm finding a groove making letterpress pocket notebooks. These were a gift to @mattgrizz.bsky.social's lab, which I've been crashing while on sabbatical.

Covers printed w/ vintage metal & wood type on a signpress. Recycled paper inside.
