Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for February 05, 2021

At the bottom one is “seared” the other is “slow roasted”

I think that means the World’s REALLY Screwed Up.. BIG TIME!!

It’s for those who want to enter a plea.

They both end up in the same pool of lava

Professional courtesy is for those in a like profession

And I don’t think this implies Satan is a lawyer

But it’s not outside of credibility…

It could also read “Hell” and “Allegedly Hell.”

Saw this comic 35 years ago where the choices were

Damned if you do

Damned if you don’t

Whenever I see or hear “alleged”, I mentally translate it from Lawyerese to English as: “Absolutely, without a shadow of a doubt”!

Ahhh, that " Special " place we keep hearing about.

It could also “allegedly” be The Good Place.

How about an even bigger portal for those who spread unfounded conspiracy rumors?

In today’s political climate, increased demand has resulted in increased supply of entrances.

Isn’t satan also called the father of lies? Oh wait, didn’t Trump tell over 30,000 falsehoods in his time in office? Draw your own conclusions.

Sounds like GOP…always twisting the truth….

The pathway to hell is paved with good intentions, but there is a slide of bad intent for lawyers and politicians.

My recall may be faulty, but I think “alleged” in media reports started to become prevalent about the time Miranda rights were instituted.

If Dante came back today, he’d have to invent whole new levels of hell.

One of the levels would be an isolated location and NO Wifi.

Guess the lawyer lost his case in the Court of Last Appeals.

Either way your going to HELL!

“When I think of the beauteous descriptions of the abode of the saints, and when I recollect that many noble witty, genial souls have died ‘unregenerate,’ I must answer you, sir, that, while, doubtless, Heaven has the best climate, Hell has the best society.” Attributed to Emory A. Storrs by Isaac E. Adams in an 1886 book entitled Life of Emery A. Storrs: His Wit and Eloquence.

Guilty until proven guilty.

“Alleged” is a pretty important word if you are the one accused of something that is spread all over the news and then you are proven innocent.

Misdeeds and lies are incomplete without justifications, qualifications, explanations, denials, and/or excuses.

But if he is a lawyer, there is no alleged about it. He is by definition bad…

Perfect!

Lawyers, before a disaster: “It cannot be proven that it will happen”

Lawyers, after the disaster: “No one could have known”

I’ve seen this carried to ridiculous extremes, as in “the victim was allegedly killed”, which might’ve been OK if they’d added “by the prime suspect”, but no, it was just left at the corpse having been allegedly killed.

A vast majority of lawyers are good people helping other good people, not criminal scumbags. A friend’s lawyer husband died earlier this year, and she was stunned to get condolences from clients of his from many years ago who told her about how he’d saved their futures and how kind he’d been to them.

Of course, the two stairwells merge a little further down…

Make room for Rudy Giuliani!!!

Bolgia 2 on the right

Wait a gosh darned minute there, Wiley.

Are you suggesting lawyers go to Hell? I’m pretty sure that’s actionable.

Allegedly eternal torture.

Try pleas bargaining.

‘I took the tunnel less obvious, and that has avoided a long, drawn-out trial (by fire).’

Is that one of SwampyDon’s lawyers?

He can’t buy his way out with a White House pardon this time!

That looks like my ex’s lawyer and he’s not wearing a mask. I guess he got what he deserved

Such incredibly good drawing. And hilarious as always.My day never feels complete until I read Non Sequitur and Doonesbury.

“Hell is never what you expect it to be”, was the Devil’s response to a newly arrived soul. This soul (a violent biker dude) wanted to see the fire, the torture racks, the boiling oil, the monsters, etc. But he wound up in a room with a tourist couple showing their 85,000,000 slides of their trip to Tijuana (all the same). Oh, and the Devil told him that the same room exists ‘up there’.

“The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.” Henry VI Part 2.

The size of the “Allegedly Bad” tunnel indicates that they have had to enlarge it to handle more traffic than the plain “Bad” tunnel.

Possibly because it usually takes Six Lawyers to defend one “Bad” person in court.

Must be a lawyer who has used the terms to twist and confuse the courts.

Both stairways go down.
