Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for July 31, 2021

His client is a politician . . .

Pettifogger.

Catch and release? He come from a disadvantaged family? He should be released because he doesn’t know any better. Just look at Washington D.C., New York, California, Portland, Oregon, Chicago, and Philadelphia and how they handle their problem people.

As long as it’s under $950 no harm no foul. How’s that working for you Barbra?

Wait till Eddie opens the Briefcase and gets a whiff of the two pounds of cow manure.

The audacious law abiding member of the society, alright.

Geez, guy; you’re making us Eds look bad!

Lawyer: It looks like I’ve lost the case for Eddie

… and I’ve lost my brief-case to Eddie.

Eddie shows that he is not exactly upstanding member of society.

He’s an out-running member of society – out running away with his lawyer’s briefcase.

I suppose lawyers don’t really have to know their clients. They just have to know how to talk to the judge.

Fast Eddie strikes again

Fast Eddie….

Eddie always did fancy a nice briefcase.

What happened to Pettifogger? Did he lose weight?

Don’t worry Eddie, your safe as long as you don’t say something like “The King is a Fink” Then it’s the dungeon and the rack.

Reminds me of that mayor complaining about the police….and had his car stolen in broad day light by criminals rofl

Do lawyers hire other lawyers?

Not unlike what happened to our country recently.

“…other than that.”

There’s already a perfectly good lawyer character in this canon. If the artists forgot how to draw Larson E. Pettifogger, they could have just looked at today’s classic.

Reminds me of Mike Hamar from “The Red Green Show”,

Good one.

While do I feel that the lawyer should be voiced by Jim Backus?

I can’t help hearing the lawyer in the voice of W.C. Fields.
