Courtroom Sketches


When I heard the news talking about no photos during a trial, but sketches were allowed, I decided that would make a clever cartoon. I had thought I would let silly drawings be the focal point of this comic. However, once I started trying to fit words around it, they became the key element. For example, in panel two, I expected the anchor to comment on not being able to see the judge clearly in the drawing. And in three, I thought the anchor would say they all look like salt shakers or something. And if he had, the reporter was going to say "Interesting fact. Richard Nixon was a Shaker." However, that is not what the characters wanted to say.
