decision

An eleven-panel comic alternating between a dark-haired woman in glasses holding a stack of papers and an angry man with flame-like orange hair in a suit. Each time the woman announces a judicial outcome, the man launches into a furious rant. When she says the decision went against him, he begins denouncing "these unelected, inhuman-"; she corrects herself that it went his way, and without missing a beat he continues praising the same court as "...gatekeepers of freedom who were-". She corrects again (that was the minority's dissent), he resumes attacking; she corrects again (wrong docket, you won), he resumes praising. The rants seamlessly flip between condemnation and approval depending on which way the ruling goes. Finally he demands, "Hey! Come on! How long are you gonna keep doing this?" She replies, "Until you recognize your own hypocrisy." In the last panel he stares grimly and declares, "You shall wait in vain." Votey (aftercomic): a close-up of the orange-haired man's frowning face with a large speech bubble: "But I hate waiting in vain!"
