A few years back I did work for some Asian companies
and US companies shipping to Asia. Instruction sheets and
cards styled like comic books are very popular there. If
you ever run across a coated card that shows a character
with a vague resemblance to Felix the Cat doing installations of lasers, that's one of mine. The company printed about
10,000 copies of it, so there must still be a few of them
in use somewhere. :)

Hello all,

I'm curious to hear if anyone's writing technical
documentation using a less formal, more colloquial
style. (Notice I did not say grammatically incorrect!)
