Okay, it was tough, but I waited until after Thanksgiving to unveil my newest Real Time Eddie Series comic strip. I don’t know if you realize how difficult this was. After all, I’m less than five years old, and you know how impulsive we kids can be. And of course, I’m superfast and efficient. So I might have been able to share the ad before it was even created.

Either way, the new ad is out and it features some other well-known characters—including jolly old Saint Nick himself! Check it out at http://www.getrealtime.org/active/eddie.asp (and while you’re on my page on the Real Time site, you can learn more about moi!)

This is second in a series of a half-dozen or so creations that will be appearing in trade publications, online and elsewhere over the next few months. If you work for a carrier, vendor, users group or trade association and are able to publish the comic strip in one of your publications or on the web, that would please me to no end! Just drop me an email.

My agent (talent agent, not insurance agent) has been hard at work and has already gotten me a sequel. Following closely on the heels of my speed campaign, I will be featured as a superhero fighting villains of agency and brokerage productivity. I know one nemesis already: FaxMan. There will be more. And guess what, that’s where you can help!

As volunteer leaders and other creative folks behind the Real Time/Download Campaign start putting pen to paper for the villains series, they are looking for your ideas. What enemies exist in your office that I fight? As I said, FaxMan is one. But what else does Real Time help you do better? Use the comments section below or drop an email. And look for (and use) my speed comics over the next couple of months.
