Editing and writing tie-in? Even if your readers aren't quite as amusing as the guys who created this Web page, it does provide an occasional example of things we should watch out for when we try to save words and communicate only in images. Even the finest editor couldn't fix these problems if the images are taken sufficiently out of context, but there are still a few lessons to be learned.
