Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for October 29, 2021

I would still be afraid very afraid.

The guy may die of fright right there.

That’s a great sight gag; a judge dressed as Death. He calls himself “the Hanging Judge.”

No gold Fringe on the flag.

Don’t make him late!

Makes him look all judgmental!

“He’s going to aHalloween party” …but he’s going dressed as Barny the Dinosaur.

ya sure about that?

The Grim Barrister!

He only handles capital crime cases…if you are unlucky!

Cue the ominous music.

… and you’ve just been invited to come with him to the party.

He has a costume for you. He’ll also put on a costume beforehand.

That’s a pretty grim rapper the judge has.

Judge Judy! You old bag.

Some judges are ghouls in real life…

His plea deal could have serious reaper cussions.

At least he’s not a hanging judge.

“… but it’s only a traffic ticket.”

Is that courtroom in the city or the Styx?

Must be Harry T. Stone

Roy Bean?

Love it! Thanks for the chuckle. Great way to start a day.

Still, appropriate for the occasion.

Need a few like him now. Need more necktie parties.

May I be excused, Your Honor?

Yes, but he is dressing up as a scarecrow for that!!!

Relax, my eye! If a judge show up in court dressed like that, whatever the excuse, I’d want to ask for a new judge.
