About TileWise Cartoons
The Story of How the TileWise Cartoons Were Created
TileWise Cartoons were developed under Donato Pompo’s leadership for Club ’84 (Ceramic Tile Action Group). Club ’84 was a non-profit organization of accomplished individuals from all segments of the ceramic tile industry whose mission was to develop and distribute educational aids to educate, train and bring quality awareness to the distributors, specifiers, installers, and consumers of Ceramic Tile. The TileWise cartoons were created to communicate issues and concerns in the business of using ceramic tile for all segments of the industry. The objective was to educate and promote the quality use of ceramic tile.
In each cartoon, the screen exaggerates what you shouldn’t do or emphasizes an issue or concern. Then, George the Bucket (named after CTI founder George Lavenberg) says what is correct.
The cartoons ran for twelve years in each issue of the Tile Industry News, a major industry publication, published by the Ceramic Tile Institute until 1999 when it ceased.
