No, that’s when someone has a gun at your head. When you’re hanging out a window, you crack puns! Such as:
-The suspense is killing me!
-Don’t leave me hangin’, here, who’s the real killer?
-Et cetera
I only was called in on jury duty once; an old, homeless man was arrested for possession of meth. He looked like Santa Claus (on meth, but still) and I was very glad not to be picked for the case. I WISH it had been about grenade launchers!
Haha, very good points there. I personally like to stay away from anyone guilty of anything, though. Say, I was thinking, with your style of humor and all, have you ever done a comic about passwords? Such as “passwords to avoid” or the like? Because I can’t seem to remember any at the moment.
I love the last panel. You have a knack for putting your avatar in the craziest situations and getting humor out of his nonchallance.
When I was called for Jury Duty in Philadelphia, I got empanelled, but I wasn’t picked because I said that I knew people who’d committed felonies and been convicted. Meanwhile, tons of other people — natives of inner city Philadelphia — said they didn’t.
Hello? I live in inner city Philadelphia. We all know people convicted of crimes.
Yet I grew up in Kansas, and I know people there too. Why were people lying? I don’t know.
But I imagine juries are almost never like John Grisham novels.
I got called in for jury duty recently, one day I was on call they were asking people to volunteer for a “possible” six week trial, about fifteen of the fifty they wanted did, the rest got forced to be part of the pool, and a couple of them even ended up on the jury.
I was in the pool(volunteered – was unemployed at the time) but didn’t make it onto the jury. Turned out is was some long-winded tax evasion case.
The general feeling was summed up by one of my fellow jurors in the elevator on the way out “Poor pricks, six weeks on a tax case”.
Isn’t that what you are supposed to say while hanging out a window?

Wouldn’t the suspense be the only thing keeping you *alive* at that point? ;p
I couldn’t be on a murder trial. I’d be too interested in the details and that might get me medicated again.
If the Multiple Grenade Launcher is Exhibit G, just imagine what the first six exhibits were! (:
Exhibit A: Flamethrower/Machine gun hybrid.
Exhibit B: Samurai sword doubles as an RPG.
Exhibit C: Toaster that shoots CDs filled with bad music.
Exhibit D: Napalm rifle.
Exhibit E: valacoraptor with a lightsaber
Exhibit F: A computer with laser-emitting speakers, guiding-missile-firing-keyboard, and world of warcraft installed.
Exhibit H: A discarded banana peel on the sidewalk.
Exhibit I: life size dolls of the Powerpuff girls wearing leather and stiletto heels.
One of these things is VERY much not like the others.
Exhibit J: The biggest ball of twine in Minnesota.
Exhibit K: Heat lazer disguised as an umbrella
There is nothing like totaly bitchin exibits to get me into work mode in the morning 😀
The jury requests more of this totally bitchin’ comic!
Exhibit H: A chainsaw
Bug: FINALLY
Somehow this comic reminded me of this scene from A Fish Called Wanda:

Hehe!
To bad we don’t have jury duty in Iceland.
What do they do in Iceland?
Judge: You’re guilty.
Defendant: OK…
Maybe the denial of restitution to the old ladybug lead to the trial full of bizarre, deadly elements.
Nice comic Adam, have you ever played the phoenix wright games on the nintendo ds? Because I think you will like ’em, It’s an awesome lawyer serie 😀

I love how Adam-bug’s antennae wave in the wind while he’s dangling out the window. Nice lil detail 🙂
As always, a wonderful update. Keep it up!

Sorry to be nitpicky, but there doesn’t need to be an ‘s’ on restitution.
