Cartoon: Helicopter Rescue

A cartoon to be used for discussing the importance of efficiency in sampling. The cartoon was used in the April 2017 CAUSE Cartoon Caption Contest. The winning caption was submitted by Mickey Dunlap from University of Georgia. The drawing was created by British cartoonist John Landers based on an idea from Dennis Pearl of Penn State University. Three honorable mentions that rose to the top of the judging in the April competition included "Better to ask for help BEFORE you're drowning in data!," written by Larry Lesser from University of Texas at El Paso; "I guess I should have asked for more details before signing up for this "Streaming Data" workshop," written by Chris Lacke from Rowan University; and "On reflection, random sampling WITH replacement might not have been appropriate in this scenario," written by Aaron Profitt from God's Bible School and College.
