Transcript:
Zebra: Listen, Killer Koala. I know Koalas need to sleep 22 hours a day, but since you're supposed to be guarding my property, do you think you could sleep an hour or so less? Melvin: HI. I'm Melvin Melvinowitz, and I'm suing you for Koala discrimination, you racist scum. Zebra: Maybe I'll guard my own property. Melvin: That's culturally insensitive. We're suing you again.

Being sued for being culturally insensitive?

They’ll sue for anything these days. Can I sue if a comic strip isn’t funny enough?

If he is a drop bear just spread some Vegemite behind your ears. You will be fine. Maybe Zebra should get a vicious jackalope. That would take care of business.

zebra…if you can be hustled by a koala…you have little hope against a croc or a lion and most certainly against a LAWYER

I wish Pastis would leave his politics out of this strip. Never funny when he tries to send a message.

Last week Indiana passed a law blocking suits over “cultural insensitivity” and the leftists went nuts. Now the cowardly republicans are talking about modifying the law. Spine of jelly.

This makes 3 or 4 Koala strips, and the koala’s eyes are always open. It’s obviously not a real koala, since it never sleeps.

Actually, the republican mayor of Indianopolis “went nuts” too, since he realizes it’s a bigoted law.

Interesting how you made the lawyer Jewish.

I thought the same, Ginny.

To solve this problem, Zebra should get the lawyer and the koala to fight so that one will eat the other. Doesn’t matter which.

Melvin “Why do some people on this Comments Board think I must be Jewish [talk about stereotyping!]?” Melvinowitz was probably wrong to call Zeeba Neighba “racist scum.” There could be a counter-suit in that remark, if Z.N. can get Cartoon-Boy to give him representation…. And, besides that, the koala does bill himself as “Killer Koala,” raising reasonable expectations of performance.

I once read a book about dumb laws. My favourite was a law stating that if a woman drives a car, a man should run in front of the car waving a red flag. I’m certain this was from over 100 years ago.I did not make this up.
