this is really nicely done. An idle part of my brain wonders whether the red circling is in fact a lipstick ring?

I love how the visual aspect makes a great idea even better. I might polish up my resume and see what happens.

Clever! The format really makes it work!

Tony Noland said...

I love this! Not just the text, with all that's left unsaid, but the graphic format is expertly done and ties it all into a work of art.

Lacy said...

I agree with all the posts above. Very nicely done.

John Wiswell said...

I smiled at the "dastardly plans" bit. That's when it all came together for me. And look, they circled your ad! So applicants should be on the way.

Cat Russell said...

Perfect!

Craig Smith said...

The life of a henchman. I think I could do it, and then work my way up.

Very clever and nicely done!

Genius Icy. This would fit perfectly into any number of journals and literary/art periodicals. You are always innovative with your ideas. Not for the first time, I predict great things for you.

ps. I used your 'robin' photo prompt for my flash this week.

Tim VanSant Writes said...

Absolutely brilliant. The format really takes it to another level.

Steve Green said...

Marc - No, just red marker.

LynnCee - You never know!

Adam - Thanks.

FAR - Just fancied trying something different.

Tony - One of the benefits of teaching graphics.

Lacy - Thanks!

John - I hope so!!

Cathy - Thanks!

Craig - That's always a good career plan.

Justin - There are plenty more coming with this theme.

Tim - Always good to experiment.

Steve - What's the worst that could happen?

Sonia - Great!

Raven - The supervillain is advertising for henchmen, and it's the henchmen who need to make up a resume. That's why they're supposed to send their emails to an @supervillain.com address.

Michael - Ah, experience with death rays is a definite plus.

I love the concept and it made me giggle (in a good way) when I read it. Of course, you know this because you were there when I read it. Great work, as always! :D

As for being suitable for the role, aren't I already in your employ as a henchman? You're not firing me, are you? *sadface* Or am I getting a promotion? :P

Helen A. Howell said...
