A single-panel comic set in a courtroom. A lawyer in a blue suit stands and points toward a judge seated high at the bench, while his client, a person with orange hair in a green shirt, sits in the foreground facing away. The lawyer declares: "My client cannot possibly be guilty of baby murder! 'Justice' is a fallacious Platonic ideal we received via Christianity's embrace of Greek thought in the Middle Ages!" A caption beneath reads: "There is a reason no one hires philosophy majors." Votey (aftercomic): a close-up of the lawyer's face as he adds, "'Murder' is really just a linguistic notion."
