Good Measure.

Management checks the desk.

An original fictional comic in four silent panels.

  1. Good Measure — panel 1: The readingManagement stands behind a desk whose surface slopes down to the right. A familiar box spirit level rests directly on the desktop and follows that slope. Its bubble sits to the left of the two centre marks. A single pen lies across the slope at the high left side, beside one flat spare sheet of paper.01
  2. Good Measure — panel 2: The adjustmentManagement has folded the same sheet and pushed it beneath the low right end of the spirit level, on top of the desk. The instrument is now horizontal and its bubble is between the centre marks. A clear gap opens beneath most of the instrument. The desktop remains at exactly the same rightward slope; nothing has been put under either desk leg. The pen is still at the left.02
  3. Good Measure — panel 3: The resultThe instrument remains horizontal on the folded paper and its bubble remains centred. Management looks satisfied and reaches back toward the pen. The single pen is rolling down the unchanged desktop toward its low right edge, with short motion strokes behind it.03
  4. Good Measure — panel 4: Good measureManagement leans across the same sloping desk. The left hand carefully holds the horizontal spirit level in place; the folded paper still supports its right end. The right hand catches the single pen on the low right edge. Management’s legs spread to support the reach. The bubble is still centred, and the desk is still sloped.04

  1. Panel 01 · The reading

    Management stands behind a desk whose surface slopes down to the right. A familiar box spirit level rests directly on the desktop and follows that slope. Its bubble sits to the left of the two centre marks. A single pen lies across the slope at the high left side, beside one flat spare sheet of paper.

  2. Panel 02 · The adjustment

    Management has folded the same sheet and pushed it beneath the low right end of the spirit level, on top of the desk. The instrument is now horizontal and its bubble is between the centre marks. A clear gap opens beneath most of the instrument. The desktop remains at exactly the same rightward slope; nothing has been put under either desk leg. The pen is still at the left.

  3. Panel 03 · The result

    The instrument remains horizontal on the folded paper and its bubble remains centred. Management looks satisfied and reaches back toward the pen. The single pen is rolling down the unchanged desktop toward its low right edge, with short motion strokes behind it.

  4. Panel 04 · Good measure

    Management leans across the same sloping desk. The left hand carefully holds the horizontal spirit level in place; the folded paper still supports its right end. The right hand catches the single pen on the low right edge. Management’s legs spread to support the reach. The bubble is still centred, and the desk is still sloped.
