Panel 1 (single panel):
Setting: A courtroom. A lawyer in a blue suit with reddish-brown hair stands facing a judge seated at the bench. In the foreground, the backs of two people's heads are visible (a blonde person on the left, a person on the right), like members of a jury or gallery.
Lawyer: AND MY CLIENT WILL CONTEND THAT HE IN FACT SAID "I DUE" - D-U-E.
Someone (off to the right, speech bubble): GASP!
Caption (below panel): And that's why I don't pay child support!
Votey:
A loosely drawn, sketchy smiling face (the groom from the wedding-vow joke) looks up and to the side.
Handwritten text: You totally got me!

A single-panel courtroom comic. A lawyer in a blue suit with reddish-brown hair stands before a seated judge, gesturing as he addresses the room. Two people's heads are visible from behind in the foreground gallery. The lawyer says, 'And my client will contend that he in fact said "I DUE" - D-U-E.' A small speech bubble from the right exclaims 'GASP!' A caption beneath the panel reads, 'And that's why I don't pay child support!' The joke: a man getting married claims he said 'I due' (as in owed/conditional) rather than 'I do,' arguing he never actually consented to marriage and its obligations. Votey (aftercomic): a loose, sketchy smiling cartoon face glances upward, with handwritten text reading 'You totally got me!'
