The practice of law, "Pearls Before Swine"-style
What do you get when a megalomaniacal anthropomorphic rat acts as a lawyer for a dim-witted anthropomorphic crocodile, suing an anthropomorphic zebra for "wilfully failing to be the food" of the crocodile, and the zebra is represented by a sociopathic anthropomorphic duck who could be the reincarnation of Colonel Walter E. Kurtz from Apocalypse Now?
You get a damn funny and surprisingly insightful story line in one of my favourite online comics, that's what you get. They would make a very interesting discussion point in the undergraduate "Professional Responsibility" unit. The strips reflect beautifully on the excesses of the current US legal system, the public perception of lawyers as ambulance-chasing vermin (in this case, literally true) who would sell out their friends for a dollar, and litigious plaintiffs for whom the legal system is "like lotto, only wid [sic] better odds and no ping-pong balls".
This story line runs from the 12th of August onwards. For reasons which should be obvious, I can't reproduce them all here, but I will give you one teaser:
I highly recommend you check it out.
