Came across this Tumblr post and thought the bottom picture would be a funny way to sorta-kinda illustrate the concept.

Not sure about the image's origin, but it looks old enough to be public domain.

I'm fine with it, and the lack of copyright is a plus.

In wiki size it's hard to see the quill and the ink, which makes it less obvious he's a writer.

[up]I like it. I don't think it's necessary to show the skeleton's hand holding the spear when it's more important to show that the guy the spear is aimed at is a writer who's in the process of writing.

Health sure is versatile. It's possible to be both light-headed and dim-witted. At the same time, no less.

It's an amusing Visual Pun, so sure. I'll go with the zoomed out version.

I see someone already put the pic up; I swapped it out for a slightly cropped PNG version and tagged the page. Not sure about the caption, thoughts?
