Consultations

Artist's Notes:

I thought of the idea for this cartoon while talking to one of my cousins who also travels often for work. He complained that while he always wanted to use the On-Demand features of his hotel televisions, he never would. This was because no matter what movie you select it would always come up as a generic movie line item on your hotel bill. This line item could then be interpreted as being a selection of porn by whoever was administering your expenses regardless if you paid for the movie yourself. And you know, he is right. Which really stinks because they have some good movies playing on those things. And no I am not talking about those of the triple X variety.

At some hotels they have motivational speakers On-Demand. I would often watch those after a long day at work with nothing to do in a strange city. That was before the conversation with my cousins.

Yeah, that's it, motivational speakers... Just kidding Mom.

So, in case you didn't understand the piece. Joe is on the phone with his significant other while watching some sappy movie, obviously of her choosing. This sweet and tender moment is then completely tainted by the perception that Joe is viewing pornography in his hotel room by the administrators of his expense report.
