The act of shaking hands has been a tradition in different cultures for centuries. However, it is often not clear how to shake hands and which hand should be offered first or what the appropriate length and pressure should feel like. If you’re ever unsure about whether you have shaken someone’s hand correctly, this guide will help!
The “art of manliness how to” is a survival guide that will teach you everything you need to know about shaking hands.
Ted Slampyak created the illustration.
I’ve been wanting to add a more visual aspect to the Art of Manliness, but I’m completely lacking in creative ability. But, fortunately for us, Ted Slampyak, a past So You Want My Job candidate, does. Ted is a gifted artist located in Albuquerque, New Mexico (Go Isotopes!). Ted drew the Little Orphan Annie comic strip until last year, and he’s done other outstanding webcomics including Jazz Age.
Ted will sometimes send us wonderful, manly-looking graphic manuals that will both educate and delight us. We’re also collaborating with him on a bi-weekly comics that we hope AoM viewers will like.
Please join me in wishing Ted Slampyak a warm AoM welcome! We hope you appreciate this new visual addition to the Art of Manliness.
