Here lies Steve Dallas, a.k.a. Hired Gun. He sued and got countersued. It’s the Way of the Lawyer-for-Hire. Fastest Suit in the West lives to rob another client (40%).
Steve’s client could only recover the cost of, at most, one pure bred poodle dog. The cost of lawyers to litigate this matter would buy a whole kennel full of poodle dogs. This is a matter for Small Claims Court.
Nope . . nope . . nope! Lawyers win no matter who wins the suit.
The counter-suit would be against the litigant, not the lawyer working for them . . . and the counter-sued litigant would need a lawyer to defend them – and would have to pay that lawyer.
Lawyers always win!
(It may have something to do with who made the rules in the first place. Just maybe!)

When first submitted, I wonder if BB was asked to remove the blood in the last panel.

I like “….whatever happened to personal responsibility?” What a quaint notion that has become.
