Reminds me of a Blondie B&W movie (1950?) Mr. Dithers has to come to court to bail Dagwood out for punching someone. Fine? $20 - so Mr. Dithers hands the judge $40, and judge asks what the extra is for? Then Mr. Dithers punches him out, and they both leave.
I wonder if the word “mule” was used in this strip because the word “jackass” wasn’t allowed.

Anyone else find it interesting that the judge keeps a cash register right there on the bench?

Now the fine is ten dollars.

I know the comic dumbs how things were back then, but it was simplier time. I wish now wasn’t as complicated, it just makes it worse.

Anyone notice the dark glasses on the judge. Seems to be hinting that justice is blind, and perhaps stupid in this case.
