This is what Tom said about the cartoon below :-
I passed by a design studio last week that had jack-o-lanterns on the stoop. I like that an office of designers would spend time designing pumpkins. It struck me that jack-o-lantern carving could be a good metaphor for innovation.
If we carved jack-o-lanterns the way we design products, we would probably carve by committee. And, whenever something is designed by committee, it's in danger of "Feature Creep."
