About Tiny Tales
"Tiny Tales" is a little experiment, different from every other comic book. It's a compilation of 39 "tiny tales", each with five comic strips of four panels.
Al moved to Austrailia. Eddie got into leather, gave a Teddiots talk, then became a manager for a week. Lexi, the blind programmer joined the team.
New cyber technology enabled the team to "multitask" during meetings.
What is you life like in I.T.? How do you deal with all the strange and wonderous people and happenings? How much fun do you have?
Cheer up and read this book!

About Eddiots
This is a work of fiction inspired by real events I witnessed, endured, or instigated.
Every character and company is a composite of real people and places from my work life. I just changed the names to protect the incompetent.
Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or businesses, active or bankrupt, is either coincidental or unavoidable because these eddiots are everywhere!
Thanks to all you bossholes, players, liars, fakers, slackers, posers, jerks, cheaters, and producers of endless technical debt. I used to hate you but now I love you because I need no imagination. I just share forward the suffering you shared with me.
About Eddie Ottic
Eddie Ottic has written 2 million lines of code for 94 firms in 50 years. There's a good chance something you own was built with his software.
He loves coding but hates going to work. Everywhere he's ever been had sufficient tech. None had sufficient management but plenty of bossholes.
When he says this, he's "not a team player". But when his comics say the same thing, others listen, laugh, and learn the inside truths no one else teaches. That's why he built eddiots.
He's a fair writer, a lousy artist, and a lazy developer. But combining them makes the magic vector art about his long I.T. incarceration. Read it, learn something, and most of all, have fun!
