Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 12, 2007
Transcript:
"What's that, Zebra?" "A summons... I'm being sued by those stupid @#*@#T@ crocodiles!" "What?!... what are they suing you for?" "'Defendant Zebra has willfully failed to be plaintiffs' food, in breach of natural law... plaintiffs seek defendant Zebra cooked medium well over a barbecue pit.'" "That's ridiculous! So what now? You have to hire a lawyer?" "I guess so... but I don't have any money." "What choice do you have?" "Well, I hate to say it, but I know Rat just started practicing law... maybe he can help out a friend for free... after all, my life is on the line..." "I may have a conflict."

I like this mega-story arc with all the branches (the lawsuit, the crocs on Segways, Rat traveling cross-country to kill someone, the family circus convention…)

I thought the state appointed a lawyer if you couldn’t afford one.

Of course he has no money. The only main character in this strip that work regularly are rat and the crocs.
