Can Charlie take up a pair of pants for me and let out the shoulders on my dinner jacket ?
Has Charlie done criminal bookkeeping before, turn them in then go onto another “enterprise” and do it all over again ? It seems he gets his jollies doing this sort of thing if panel 2 gives any indication.
Next panel: (Tracy) “Yeah but it beats him walking into court without them like he wanted to do. The judge would have busted him for indecent exposure.”
I think the square talking boxes by Tracy and Sam are still being said in the court house, but the scene is showing a past event as they are mentioning it ! YES! Got it!
It’s just a gag for No Pants Day and the charity it supports. But I still wonder why Tracy is wearing his trenchcoat indoors and Sam is fully dressed, while Charlies happily exists in only his underwear—is the room cool or hot? Or does Tracy expect Charlie to finish in ten seconds or less and dress for court equally rapidly—hence Tracy already set to go?
And what’s with Sam’s eyes in panel 3? Is he wearing blindfold to escape the view literally before his eyes?

It almost looks like Tracy is winking at the reader while saying that last line.

Good morning™, everyone!
Well, it seems that Charlie’s testimony is good for the D.A.’s case, at least.

(Sam) “I doubt it Tracy. Lack of evidence.”

Ooh, boy! That first-panel dialog is ripe for the picking. I’m not touching it with a ten-foot pole…

The reason we see Charlie ironing his pants is because today is No Pants Day.

Wouldn’t the SA’s office pay for dry cleaning?

1-SAM: This is so boring! I need my down-time activities! DT: I know, Sam. Hmmmm…
2-CHARLIE: Can I give my testimony in rhyme? Like: The Apparatus is out to get us / I may look a goof but I have the proof.
DA: No.3-SAM: THANKS FOR THIS TRACY! I almost feel like I’m kickin’ it at the Booby Trap! TAKE IT OFF! WHOOOOOO!!!!
CHARLIE: Not till you make it rain, stud!

Big mistake waiting for Charlie 21 to press his trousers. It will lead to no good!

If he presses his pants, he must do his shirts as well.

……D.T.’s probably mulling over whether or not to say: “Nice Pants.”……..
