My favorite and oft-cited cartoon of all times was an old Sunday Shoe comic strip (the one about the birds, one of whom is a newspaper writer). The old bird "Professor" is explaining to his nephew Skyler about the his job:

"The hardest thing about being a writer is convincing your boss that you're really working when you're staring out the window."


'Nuff said.
