Main comic: A courtroom custody trial. A balding lawyer in glasses stands and reads aloud from a piece of paper, declaring that this document, written by his client's ex-husband, clearly shows he is an unfit father. He quotes it: "My two favorite things are cheating on you and neglecting the kids." The ex-husband sits in the foreground with his head buried in his hands, saying "I can't believe she's showing that." Caption below: "I knew I shouldn't have been passing notes during the custody trial" — revealing the incriminating document was a private joke note he passed, now used as evidence against him. Votey: A man with flame-like hair hunches over a piece of paper, chuckling "Hehehe" as he writes on it. The note reads "THE JURY ARE A BUNCH OF IDIOTS" — he is once again writing a foolish, self-incriminating note in the middle of a trial.
