Mark

Sharpening a knife sounds like something you could illustrate with 4 pictures....

How about the growth of a plant or crop? Maybe you could find corn in four stages of growth? Good luck!

A series showing how you use a cigar to unwind. First picture is something busy, a desk with papers and a open notebook. Second picture is quitting time, a photo of a watch showing 6-22pm. Third picture is coming home, the humidor and beer fridge in the back, 4th picture is nub cigar in ashtray, empty beer glass with suds still clinging to the side and your feet up in the distance.

The story, work hard, come home, relax with a stogie.

Gluck.

A series demonstrating how to procrastinate....

Edit: Although that might not be able to tell a story alone. Maybe installing computer software (pics of the purchase, opening the box, the screen with the install going, then you using the software)

What happens if you featured KFC's new healthier grilled chicken vs. the delicious, greasy and addictive original recipe... would that help to ease concerns?

They might yell but it will be thought and conversation provoking

Go steal stuff at shilala.com for the chicken idea.
You can steal pics, too. Even pics of chickens in the eggs.

That site doesn't belong to me anymore. The ex got it in the divorce, although I own the content. I have another chicken site, too. I own it with a partner. It's called eggbid.com.
I'm just waiting for the ex to run shilala.com into the ground so I can get my domain name back.
No. There's nothing I don't do. You wouldn't even believe it if I told you. :r
