An orange banner across the top reads "LIFE TIP: EXCUSES ARE NON-TRANSFERABLE." In the comic, a red-haired man stands in a courtroom, arms spread in an innocent shrug, with a robed judge at the bench behind him. He says, "I didn't kill my wife, I'm just big-boned" -- misapplying the weight-related excuse "big-boned" to a murder charge. Votey: a roughly sketched man gestures and insists, "Those weren't my fingerprints! It's glandular!", again borrowing a body-related excuse to deny criminal evidence.
