Harvard Graphics was one of our biggest competitors!

were a few companies doing business graphics,
But wasn't there a package called "The Dog And Pony Show"?
I was consulting at SPC circa 1991 on their Harvard
series, mostly on Harvard Draw and all related import/export
filters, and a bit on Harvard Graphics.
Around that time, their inept marketing teams
made advertisements and mouse pads saying something
to the effect of "Not your average dog and pony show"
featuring a multicolored dog and horse.
The problem is, there's also the perhaps urban-legend meaning of
"dog and pony show" based on Tijuana or circus sideshows
involving sex acts between humans and these animals.
