As cartoons offer a quick yet poignant way to describe how academia works, I am wondering which cartoons on academia are the most popular. I am interested in particular on cartoons which may highlight the true spirit of academic life and academic hierarchy.

A simple Google search for "cartoon academia" yields 580,000 hits, with the first image posted being a [New Yorker cartoon by David Sipress](http://www.condenaststore.com/-sp/Daddy-works-in-a-magical-faraway-land-called-Academia-New-Yorker-Cartoon-Prints_i8546667_.htm). Is such ranking correct?
