This one comes from a request but I think a lot of people will be able to relate (unfortunately). #evaluation #webcomic

This is not really a joke. I've looked a lot of reports of the last couple of years. You can really find the qualitative section by flipping to the pages without pictures. #evaluation #visualization #dataviz #webcomic

It sounds like the monorail song in my head

Really digging into the archive with this one. I originally drew it back in September of 2012. It was number three in a series of cartoons about how to not really evaluate. #evaluation #dataviz #piechart #webcomic

Todays' #webcomic was inspired by a conversation I had while getting coffee this morning. #evaluation

I really don't like the environmental impact, the plagiarism, and the threat to humanity. But I appreciate the auto-transcription, summary creator, and brainstorm partner. How are you feeling about AI these days? #evaluation #ai #webcomics

I kind of like picturing ChatGPT as a lazy intern. One that gets their assignments done, but doesn't exactly give it their all. #evaluation #webcomic

You have to admit, uniforms would make it way easier to differentiate #evaluation from #research.

I've been co-working since 2016. The people I would see everyday were a mix of aspiring business owners, students, people in-between full time jobs, and the semi-retired. It can be hard to tell the difference sometimes. #evaluation #webcomic

Life can be pretty complicated and messy, but sometimes it's nice to just focus on the little things. #evaluation #webcomic

Do you know people who have spent years doing #evaluation work but still feel uncomfortable calling themselves evaluators?

Was thinking about #evaluation as storytelling this morning. It led to this #webcomic. I think a lot of evaluation reports would be more effective if they were written like illustrated children's books.

My takeaway from this one was "sack of cats." I'm pretty sure that could be used to define a bunch of things.

"Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something, and that this thing, at whatever cost, must be attained..." #evaluation

Drew this in early March. Since then, I've been adding this comic to the first slide for most of my presentations. How do you start your conversations these days? #evaluation #webcomics

Just added to the archive. Cartoon link: comics.freshspectrum.com/comic/how-ar...

Personally I find #data to be way more interesting when it defies expectations. How about you? #evaluation #webcomic

Continuing to backfill my cartoon archive, drew this one in early March. Here's the cartoon archive link: comics.freshspectrum.com/comic/eviden...

Trying to spruce up your #data Dashboard. Sure you "could" add more interesting data. Or...

"Its focus on incorporating the use of systematically collected data to inform organizational decisions challenges the tendency towards "belief preservation," in which people make evidence subservient to belief rather than the other way around". -Susan Jenkins

Formative plus time equals summative.

Note: You can do a formative evaluation after a program ends, but it's not as funny to think about.

I was thinking about what it would take to convince a MAGA person that perhaps Trump's way isn't going to be good for anyone. That led me to this comic.

In today's blog post I share my top 5 Logic Model & Theory of Change comics. Did I miss any of your favorites? #evaluation

A tweet by Sarah Longwell (@SarahLongwell25 ) reads: "He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. Don’t you see what’s happening here?"

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

At one point in my career I was working for a state funded organization. Every time a new budget was prepared, they were at risk. It's hard to be open and honest in your #evaluation reporting when you know what could happen if the data looks bad.

My LinkedIn followers really enjoy when I share #evaluation & #data related #webcomics but not so much #political cartoons. I wonder if they work better here.

Does make you wonder, just what are the strongest terms?

This is so true. I've also noticed an uptick in Amazon related ads lately.

Want to get talk about formative and summative #evaluation in a more spicy way? Here's a new cartoon for you.
