I'm a digital artist and visual developer, or vice versa, living in Belgium (Europe that is). Yet, I do like my analog pencil, not because I can draw (which I can't), but it allows me to think more freely. I wanted to draw comics when I was young, but then I became an engineer and ended up doing 3D animation and post-production. So I tend to do anything "visual" I like... like now, drawing cartoons again as I did 30 years ago.

In November 2019, I found my niche in statistics and them being (mostly) (ab)used in science, media, politics... And though I intended to steer clear from current affairs, a few months after I started the series, the earth was struck with Corona, media was flooded with statistics, and I couldn't help but touch upon the topic, gently. I do prefer the absurd and witty, however.

Not always succeeding, but plenty of ideas to keep trying. The top spot and a true master in that field? Tom Gauld, whose work I truly admire (and he can draw).

So here is my absurd cartoon series with the occasional glimpse of reality. I hope you enjoy it. And if you do, find out more on my Instagram.

    I have a similar problem with a person I have known for a long time. Her IQ tested as "exceptional," so she smugly assumes that she is right about everything without doing the necessary research to come up with a well-reasoned opinion. While it might make her good presidential material, it is frustrating at times.

    96.756% of all statistics are made up.

    This one should be called politics in action.

    Lol, reminded me of my first semester of college, the Methods in Biology professor almost pulling her hairs off when explaining that you.do.not.connect.the.dots (everyone was doing right, she was probably frustrated with ppl in general, not with the class)

    I saw this kind of fudging of data in the wild once (with a pie chart) and fell for it. Luckily the result so weird someone had me take a second look.

    I love these and I have a serious question - why is the error bar on the last column not equally spread on either side of the data point? Why is the top bar shorter?

    (paraphrasing)If you needed to use statistics for your result, you should have designed a better experiment.
