The first time I saw Slug’s illustration for this week’s question I was mildly put off. Yes, I know he strives to be an equal opportunity offender, but it does seem sometimes that the women come in for a bit more abuse in his drawings.
However, I find myself forming an affection for the lady in this week’s drawing. I thinks it’s her expression. While the man and the judge waste their time on trivialities, she is clearly thinking higher thoughts. I imagine her dwelling on the next chapter in her dissertation in astrophysics or some such.
I think she’s eyeing that 12 inch ruler. Or maybe she is getting turned on by the power that the judge has over the situation. Or maybe she is contemplating her astrophysics dissertation, trying to figure out the best way to stick it up her butt.
Call me a prude if you want (but you had better not want to), but what’s with the gratuitous state of undress? I mean, who shows up in court in their underwear?
I imagine the lady rolling her eyes at the stupidity of her husband thinking she’ll ever let the little runt get away with that crap again. As soon as they are out of court, he’ll be learning what the rule of thumb is really about!
