Business Casual

For the next few comics, I'm trying to create jokes around a particular topic - SQL. This will probably be met with varying levels of success as I usually don't try and limit comic ideas. Also, I'm not sure exactly how much funny is in SQL. Do I fall back on lamer, old-school jokes like, "A SQL query walks into a bar and goes up to two tables. He says to the tables, 'Can I join you?'" or can I create something else? We'll see.

So why am I trying this when I don't even know if I can come up with SQL jokes? Well, there's a couple of reasons. First, I have my eye on a tech conference that specializes in SQL. I'm hoping that I can use these next few comics as a way to promote myself to the conference. Second, this also helps me practice in creating specific jokes for a specific topic. So, in the future, if I start offering a custom comic creation service for newsletters, etc, I can have some experience as creating topical comics on the fly.
