Man with combed hair: "Good, good. Now to circle the task like a hawk circling its prey, waiting, waiting for the moment to STRIKE."
The older man (combed hair) wears a mug or has a label reading "#1 BOSS".

Main comic: A single panel in an office. A man with neatly combed hair and a tie, labeled "#1 BOSS," holds papers and speaks intensely to a younger man with messy reddish hair who is reading a sheet of paper. The boss says: "Good, good. Now to circle the task like a hawk circling its prey, waiting, waiting for the moment to STRIKE." Caption beneath: "ADHD has gotten a lot more awesome since I discovered this metaphor." The joke reframes ADHD task-avoidance/procrastination as a predator dramatically stalking its prey. Votey: a loose doodle of a hawk with the text "CAW CAW," reinforcing the bird-of-prey metaphor.
