Main comic: A courtroom. A young lawyer in a purple suit and yellow tie stands and points aggressively across the room, shouting in big jagged letters, "NO, YOU'RE DRUNK!" A judge and another figure watch from the bench in the background; a bald man sits in the foreground. The caption beneath reads: "Somehow, this strategy had seemed more reasonable when we'd discussed it back at the firm." The joke: a courtroom legal strategy that amounts to a childish "no, YOU'RE drunk" retort.

Votey: A simple line-drawn man with a calm, smug face says in a speech bubble, "I would like to plead insobriety" — a play on "insanity," admitting drunkenness as the defense.
