This REALLY makes me wonder which I'd want to be:

I love the effort, mystery and imagination that went into the first one. Would I want to be a guy that inspires that, or would I want to be the guy that inspires the normal "scientist" in the next drawing?
The first one brings about a sense of awe for these brilliant people that come up with fantastic answers to really difficult questions, while the second one reminds us that even the scientists are humans, and have a social life and enjoy themselves.
Both have their pros and cons.
