Lonely, troubled Poseidon

The stalwart god of the seas and storms is supposed to be protecting seafarers but he’s distracted right at the moment by his spreadsheets.

Fun comic book art for scientists, statisticians, industrial engineers, or any professional involved with operational excellence, lean manufacturing, six sigma, or quality improvement.

This is our own spin on the classic scientist’s creed: MORTALS REQUIRE DATA. (Look closely at the hull of the ship being dragged under by the Kraken.)

If you don’t know…

“In God we trust, everyone else must bring data!” That’s the old saying.

Denio extrapolated this proverb to Ancient Greece and four busy, data-minded gods:

We have the tempestuous Poseidon here.

Athena, goddess of wisdom and war, always has body armor a spear and a round shield, and a gold trojan helmet. There’s an owl perched on her shoulder or nearby. She’s leading a conversation with three male soldiers. All four are standing, studying a Pareto Chart that has been magically manifested on the wall in front of them. She has her arms crossed. One guy is scratching his chin. One guy is leaning around another in front of him to see better.

Demeter, goddess of fertility and agriculture, always with a cornucopia and laurels holding back her beautiful hair. We find her floating, presiding over her crops and three centaurs who’ve retired from the battlefields to the grain fields. She’s explaining her analysis of crop yields to the supervisor.

Zeus, king of gods, god of thunder and the sky, ruler atop Mount Olympus, gnawing on a Yellow No. 2, and frustratedly tapping his electrified fingers while hammering away at his desktop. We think he’s probably waiting for Tableau to load.
