A courtroom comic. A judge declares, "I hereby sentence you to seven consecutive life sentences for the crime of first degree." The defendant—a bald, handcuffed man in an orange shirt—plugs his ears with his fingers and shouts a huge run-on speech bubble: "Lalalala! I can't hear you! La la la! Can't hear you can't hear you!" filling most of the panel. The judge fires back small frantic bubbles: "Hey!" "Stop!" "Come on!" "Stop it!" "Please?!" A caption beneath reads: "Ultimately, we were forced to acquit." In the votey aftercomic, a close-up of a weary, sad-faced man (the judge) with drooping eyes whimpers, "Yer mean!"
