\"HowIllustration by Ted Slampyak<\/em><\/p>\n

I’ve been wanting to incorporate a more visual element into the Art of Manliness, but I have no artistic talent whatsoever. But lucky for us, former So You Want My Job interviewee Ted Slampyak<\/a> does. Ted’s a super-talented illustrator based out of Albuquerque, NM (Go Isotopes!). He’s done some amazing webcomics like Jazz Age<\/em>, and until last year Ted drew the Little Orphan Annie<\/em> comic strip.<\/p>\n

From time to time Ted will be providing us with nice, manly-looking illustrated guides that both educate and entertain. We’re also working with him on creating a bi-weekly webcomic that we think AoM readers will enjoy.<\/p>\n

Please join me in giving a manly AoM welcome to Ted Slampyak! We hope you’ll enjoy this new visual element of the Art of Manliness.<\/p>\n

How to give a manly handshake<\/p>\n

– Approach person\u2019s line of sight.<\/p>\n

– Look person in the eye and smile.<\/p>\n

– No “limp fish”.<\/p>\n

– No “Death grip”<\/p>\n

– Firm grip.<\/p>\n

– “Web” touch<\/p>\n
