This Dilbert cartoon ran in the Dallas Morning News on Christmas Day. By noon, my colleague David Hyman also emailed it to me so that I could read "the best corporate law cartoon ever." I think he's right.
In practice, I noticed a cartoon that was blown up and framed in the office of legal counsel at a major oil company. The cartoon featured a boardroom with directors around a table. Someone was standing and presenting an idea. The caption read, "The downside, however, is jail." I can't find a copy of that cartoon, but I think it comes a close second.

Here's a New Yorker variation on the runner-up's theme (assuming the link doesn't go bad).

I recall a cartoon from about two years ago, two fellows standing in a prison yard, one of whom states: "The deal was perfectly legitimate. I just couldn't handle the tax consequences."
