Panel 1
Defense lawyer (a man in a suit and tie, addressing a courtroom): "Now, I admit, the prosecution makes a fine case. There's the newly-purchased life insurance policy, the fingerprints on her neck, the written plans to kill her... Yes, it all seems to be in order, doesn't it?"
Defense lawyer: "All except for one thing."

A courtroom scene. A confident defense lawyer in a suit and tie stands before a jury and gestures as he speaks: "Now, I admit, the prosecution makes a fine case. There's the newly-purchased life insurance policy, the fingerprints on her neck, the written plans to kill her... Yes, it all seems to be in order, doesn't it? All except for one thing." A caption beneath the panel reveals the lawyer's brilliant rebuttal: "Free tickets to Sea World!" The joke is that his only counter-argument is a transparent bribe to the jury. Votey (aftercomic): a close-up of a nervous, sweating face with the word "GUILTY" floating beside it, implying the bribe did not work.
