[beware the pet koala] Sketchbook entry: Another one from the IFIP conference. Jill was from Australia. Someone asked a question during her talk and she made the comment about "oh, so you must've been one of the reviewers." She then thanked him for the feedback. In my mind, things went a little differently. In case it's too hard to read the balloon, it says, "I THOUGHT it was you who reviewed my paper. Sic him, Quantas!" OK, now perhaps I'm generalizing a little, but doesn't everyone think that all Australians have pet koala bears that do their bidding? Sort of like your own personal Gentle Ben, only a lot smaller than a grizzly bear and cuter. So no, she DIDN'T actually have a koala attached to her, but I'm SURE she could have summoned one if the situation called for it. And the name Quantas for a koala cracks me up. And yes, I know the name of the airline is Qantas...I don't care. images/Drawings/Sketches/quantas.png
