As part of his job search, Mr Baskerville has been researching.* He, like everyone else with an email account, gets unsolicited advice purporting to Help him with his Career. He also gets emails offering to grow areas of his body he'd rather keep private (and yes, the clue is in the name), but he digresses. As is his wont.
Anyway, he read an article about brand marketing. Apparently, the average human attention span is now less than the average goldfish attention span. A GOLDFISH, people! Goldfish have a 9 second attention span, and we have less than that! FFS.
Though, how do we know? Maybe the fish were lying, as to election-day pollsters. Do goldfish lie? Are any aquatic species famous for their veracity? Are whales more truthful? Should we maybe survey whales instead?
Mr B is well aware that his entire readership has clicked away by now. Also, he hasn't got a fucking clue what he was talking about, or what his ultimate point should be. Frankly, he doubts he ever had a point.
But! Fear not, dear reader, there is a solution! The clue is visual storytelling.
Thank fuck for that. Mr B can now happily sit about reading comic books all day, secure in the knowledge that he's better than a goldfish.
*ie, randomly googling**
**Mr Baskerville would love it if his own name became a verb. 'To baskerville', meaning to avoid doing anything productive. Example: Look at that lazy arse, he's been baskervilling all day and hasn't written a word.
