Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for May 15, 2020

You’ll be living off nicotine and caffeine for the next year.

But you have truth and justice on your side. It’s not like you can buy truth and justice for $4 billion in the U.S. court system!

When an alien species comes to this planet, the first thing they will say is that our justice system is not objectively based on justice, but money. How is it that a clown that steals hundreds of millions from people, ruining their lives gets treated like he’s someone special and a guy stealing fifty bucks gets the crap beat out of him?

That’s okay. This is when strategy and persistence pay off. Lawyers fees for years.

I saw smokers calm down after a couple cancer sticks, and knew it couldn’t be just the physical handling and sucking that calmed them down. Some research into not-well-disseminated research showed nicotine is an anti-psychotic drug.

“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others” – George Orwell’s “Animal Farm”. Especially if it’s a rich animal.

cigarette smokers are the ones paying for the defense. i was one of them for many a year until i finally quit 12 years ago and never looked back.

I keep wondering why you are using strips from the 80’s and 90’s about cigarettes in 2020?

The cost is much lower these days. Ask for the Barr discount.

When you’ve got corporations bigger than the government, you’ve got a big problem.

History shows that in the end, only the lawyers benefited from that expenditure…

Would that be Janet Reno? She had a lot on her mind back then.

All that effort, up in smoke!

Right, call it a court system, it doesn’t deserve the adjective “justice”.
