16. STEVE JOBS: Your time is limited
Steve Jobs (1955-2011) was just some dude who founded a computer company no one has ever heard of. I’m kidding, I’m kidding. You don’t need me to tell you why Jobs was a great man so I’ll just explain what’s going on in the panels above:
Panel 2: After dropping out of college, Jobs and Steve Wozniak formed Apple in Jobs’ parent’s garage. Their first product, the Apple I was released in 1976.
Panel 3: When Jobs was overlooked to head the main ‘Lisa’ project by the Apple board, he formed a new team to produce the Macintosh, released in 1984. He likened his team to renegade pirates fighting against the Navy (hence the pirate flag in the background). Jobs was a perfectionist, and was seen as a tyrant and bully by some of his employees.
Panel 4: In 1985, Jobs was fired as head of the Macintosh division by the Apple board after political infighting between him and the CEO. He was forced to leave the company he co-founded.
Panel 5: Jobs formed NeXT computers, which released their first workstation in 1990. Their computers were known for their really awesome operating system.
Panel 6: In 1986, Jobs bought a computer graphics company for $10 million which was later renamed Pixar. With John Lasseter as the creative brains of the company, Pixar went on to produce some of the greatest movies ever and make a kazillion dollars.
Panel 7: In 1996, Jobs returned to Apple as CEO after they purchased his company, NeXT. The NeXT operating system became the basis for Mac OS X.
Panel 8: From 1998, with Jobs at the helm and the release of the iMac G3, Apple has since released a range of products that have changed the world – from the way people listen and buy music, to creating new industries and just changing the way we consume media in general. Not bad for a college dropout.
– This quote is a very small section taken from Jobs’ 2005 Stanford commencement speech. It’s probably the most famous commencement speech of all time – you can read or watch the whole thing here.
– Being a designer, it’s pretty much pre-ordained that I must use and love Macs (which I do) or face being a pariah in the design community. I think designers are probably the most passionate Apple apostles out there – just picture a sarcastic guy in a black skivvy and chunky black glasses casually mention to an IT guy, “PC’s are sooooo lame.”

ahhhhhhhhhhhmazing.
thanks for this! incredible work.!
Thanks a lot John!
You’re doing a great job Gavin!!!!
;A;. I love your work so much.
Yeah i have to say Jobs is an inspiring person. And yeah PC are lame, but you cant say that Gates do a great job changing the world too. I am a PC man and not for their performance, i am because i make money with it (Developer here XD).
Definitely – what Gates is doing with his money is so inspiring – hey, you’ve given me the idea to a Gates quote – thanks!
one of the most inspirational strips I’ve seen! Thanks alot for this site.
I’ve just discover your blog, it’s amazing! And this cartoon is phenomenal! I congratulate you!
Interesting and well done.
However, I have another take on Steve Jobs and his advice. It’s here: http://jmwordsmith.com/?page_id=339
This is quickly becoming one of my favorite sites. Keep up the great work.
These panels are brilliant 🙂 Truly inspirational. And well drawn too 😉
Just stumped on to your site and I’m hooked. I never knew I had a thing for cartoons even now!! Thanks for making me (re)discover the child in me. And, yes your Bruce Lee series is awesome! My personal favourite 😀
so inspiring! i finally found what i’m looking for. this is great.
This is really inspiring. I’m going through a time in my life when I really needed these. Thanks so much. Will always remember this.
You’re welcome Ayesha
Epic work man. I visit daily. Don’t wanna miss ANYTHING . i share your stuff everywhere. I’m an aspiring designer. P.S. thanks for the inspiration. -Fahad
Thanks Fahad – keep spreading the word!
Wonderful work. That’s all I can say. Thanks for inspiring!
I am thinking of getting this print for my brother who’s a hardcore PC guy. It’s a great quote, and it would be a fun way to troll him.
Congrats for your blog, i’ve just discovered it and i can’t stop reading…
thanks
Hey, great drawing. However, Jobs wasn’t really a great man, someone worthy of your comic. Just wanted to say this.
Peace out!
I agree
To be honest, I never understood why people worship, let alone admire, this guy.
All he did was add fuel to the great and terrible fire also known as mass consumerism.
The world can do without his products.
… and you miss the point entirely.
Your time is more limited if you reject real cancer treatment for nine months and have bullshit ‘alternative treatments’.
But hey, don’t be trapped by dogma right?
I hate how people use lame as the new retarded. “That’s so lame” “That’s so retarded” “That’s so gay”. Which group will be next to describe something that is considered lesser? Now it’s the disabled, before it was people with retardation and homosexuals. Maybe we can start saying “that’s so fat”.
From some few hours, about two actually- I am checking your cartoons. One by one. I started with the cartoon about the lesbian love and journeyed to the cartoon on Malala. Then I discovered you drew that only three days ago, and then I started seeing from the very first cartoon and now I am here. What I can say is, you are very romantic as a person, not only because you draw cartoons on love quotes or homosexual love, but because your rebellious nature is very very clear in almost every of your cartoon. I must say you made a nice choice of quotes, and the pictures you draw to make those quotes into tales are just fascinating!
Now, why I am commenting on this cartoon is, the frame where there the quote says “don’t let your inner soul die”- is just awesome. I just like your idea of symbolizing inner soul with green leaf. And it is marvelous. Although I am not that much into cartoon, but I started seeing your ones cause my granny suggested me. And later on, I found out, yes, you are an artist indeed! And I think in time, you will be an even more great artist. This is the starting of your life. Your cartoons show your mind is full of the romanticism of youth. And I just love that!
Keep on Gav! Wish you all the success.

I have respect for what jobs accomplished in his life but he seemed to be far from a compassionate man. Be it charity work or the conditions of the apple factories. That much makes me lose respect for the man.
this is truly amazing. i’ve read the jobs’s biography and the moment i saw this page, i knew what was going on.. thanks much for this!
I’m having trouble finding this in print version. Do you offer it? My husband’s birthday is coming up and he’d love it. Thanks!
I have to confess something:
I dislike Apple. I dislike iPod, iPad, all that stuff.
I don’t know enough about Jobs to either like him or hate him.
I don’t know how compassionate he was or wasn’t.
I’m not sure if these rumors claiming Jobs stole information from Wozniak are true.
BUT…
I don’t really care.
A couple of weeks ago, I watched that speech at Stanford for the first time.
And it really got me to the heart.
I’m struggling with the desire of leaving the college. And I’m scared.
I don’t want to be like Jobs. I just want to take this lesson.
He had guts.
And I just want guts.
Amazing! 😀
Wonderfully portrayed !! 🙂
Thanks 🙂 🙂 One of my favorite quotes !!
For what you need a computer for, I’ll admit that PCs are lame. For what I need a computer for, PCs ROCK! It’s all about what the User needs/wants in their machine, so in this case, just like in many others, Your Mileage May Vary. 😀
You should use something from Job’s celebrated Stanford commencement address, Gav. It would make a really good strip, and that’s what I was looking for when searching for Steve Jobs.
His principles are different, he has provided some useful gadget to the society, may not liked by all ( that is not necessary) yet he created. But we just read and comment on this. He made his lifetime more useful , he followed his dreams, that is really GREAT.
I just noticed that you put an “apple watch like” gadget in the bottom left corner. 🙂 Kudos!
so inspiring! i finally found what i’m looking for. this is great.
I am certain it will be a to a great degree instructive every last one those will go to it will be truly valuable.

The dreams of our early morning
Like the dew had passed away;

In the years that lay before us,
Half seen through the distant haze,
The winters grew drearily longer
And briefer the summer days.
