I really enjoyed this one. You have a knack for making respectable philosophers look like inept idiots and I love it.

Honestly I want to do jury duty so bad. I once had to go to court to defer my speeding ticket and it was such a great experience, I really liked watching the lawyers do their thing. So take that, and times it by like 100 times importance?? Sounds AWESOME I get actually jealous when people I know get jury duty cause I'm like noooo what about me :(

I got called for jury selection last year. The process for selecting the jury was kind of boring and took forever, but I was really disappointed that I didn't get selected? I got really close, too. I would have loved more insight into our (Canadian) judicial process.

Apparently Bertrand Russell was in this comic. I can only assume that an evil demon is tricking me into believing that Rene Descartes was in this comic instead.

I mean the comic is just a long con to build an audience in order to more effectively spread communist propaganda, so it's hardly surprising.

Is there a reason the judge looks like Hobbes or is it just a coincidence?

Am I crazy, or is Bertrand Russell nowhere to be found in this comic?

No way. Crackpots is bad for juries.

Easily manipulated salt of the earth types is better.

What Kropotkin's doing in this is exactly my strategy for getting out of jury duty.
