From Bob Mankoff (The New Yorker Cartoon editor) comes this:

Taking a cue from the Yahoo C.E.O. Marissa Mayer’s policy of banning working from home, I ordered all New Yorker cartoonists to get their lazy, coffee-sipping, channel-surfing, Web-browsing, Netflix-streaming, newspaper-riffling, magazine-flipping, vacantly-staring-into-space selves into the office.

I explained to them, quoting the leaked Yahoo memo, that “some of the best decisions and insights come from hallway and cafeteria discussions, meeting new people, and impromptu team meetings.”

The cartoonists responded by sipping their coffee and staring vacantly into space before they made the insightful decision to hold an impromptu team meeting in the Condé Nast cafeteria. Fortified by the Condé comestibles, they came back and requested a meeting in my office. But my office was too small to hold them all, so we repaired to a hallway known to be conducive to insights. And, sure enough, we had one. And it was that coffee sipping, channel surfing, Web browsing, Netflix streaming, newspaper riffling, magazine flipping, and vacantly staring into space were the time-honored prerequisites for cartoon creation, and that they could only find a congenial home in a home. I felt certain that many more insights would have come pouring out of that hallway if not for the fact that the fire marshal came by and ordered us to disperse. Which we did. The cartoonists headed home, and, following their lead, so did I, which is where I’m writing this memo, a cup of coffee in one hand and a remote in the other.
