Peanuts by Charles Schulz for October 07, 2023

Order In The Court! Someone isn’t filling Snoopy’s food bowl.

Snoopy for the defense!

Peppermint Patty vs. the public education system. That sounds interesting.

Snoop seems to be not perfectly in control.

Snoopy will be the respondent as soon as Peppermint Patty finds out her diploma’s actual value.

The attorney (Snoopy) has caused the problem.

Whichever side is paying the best.

Sounds like Snoopy will be on the defensive.

That’s the best lawyer to have! A wishy-washy attorney who doesn’t know whether they are coming or going in the courtroom. Even better if those lawyers then get promoted to become the wishy-washy judge.

Since cross-complaints are common in civil suits, it’s entirely possible to be both at the same time.

How will things turn out…tune in Monday (since tomorrow we’ll have the Sunday edition)!

This strip has already gotten ridiculous. Now it’s just plain stupid.

One of the joys of reading comics, I discover for me is, the opportunity to suspend my disbelief. It has been getting harder these last six years so every chance that rolls around, I take it.

This I’ve gotta see

Hey, Snoopy, I know a couple of people who can use your services right now.

Hoping to be the Prosperous Attorney.

The bowtie is quite fetching.

Charlie Brown left out a very real possibility – a persecuted attorney!

He’s Patty’s attorney.

That tracks for him.

I just got a little bag for work just like that.

That’s fine ….. Snoopy ….. just do your best ……. ;)

Plaintiff and defendant. This isn’t a criminal trial.

But your honor my client is the victim here. But your honor we are suing the school district for animal cruelty.

Pray someone doesn’t report you to the bar association.

School District vs. Patricia Reichardt. Sounds like Snoopy is the defense attorney. (Yes, I had to look up her last name.)

He’ll be the prosecuted attorney.

Neither, since this isn’t a trial
