Leaping out a recursion level from #1295...
When my friends arrived for our lunchtime board game session and saw what I'd drawn on the whiteboard, one of them suggested I actually photograph it, rather than print it out. From there, it was just a short step with our feverish brains to this.
"Now," I hear you saying, "it would be nice if this was at higher resolution, so I could actually read the text written on the whiteboard. Or perhaps even print it out at 300dpi and stick it on a whiteboard somewhere."
Why yes, it would be, wouldn't it?
I work for Canon. We kind of have cameras lying around the office. I believe these photos were actually taken with a digital SLR.
Oh, and since this comic was made we've moved to a new office building. The new whiteboards we have don't print any more - instead they scan whatever's on them and save it directly to an image file on the office network. And yes, they're still the old-fashioned tactile sort with pens that write with actual ink on an actual surface, not the newfangled so-called "smart" whiteboards. We tried some of those, and they all sucked - too laggy and intermittently responsive for proper science/engineering type whiteboarding.
