I’m just laughing at the well-meaning hypocrisy of Andie calling someone else “Boobsalot”!
Even Mary Elizabeth is practically a B-cup next to her!
When I read the last panel:
“Bum, Bum, BA!” Everyone looks at the sherif in a dramatic way.
do not like mr.sheriff there
“Well, actually, she’d be tried by a jury of her peers. I guess you can be the ‘Investigator’ if you want to.”
I’m always worried about the effects that typos can have on law. For example, what would happen if PETA was suddenly, as a result of an error in some legal document, the People for the Ethnical Treatment of Animals?
In this case what concerns me is the possibility that Mary Elizabeth will be tried by a jury or piers. Docking ports which accept cargo are known to go for the death sentence.
In that case they’ll just need to disguise her as a very tiny ship!
Her face can already launch a thousand ships, she should be fine.
Not to mention that being judged by jury of boobsalots MUST have some up-sides.
I would very much like to go to that trial, whether to see Mary Elizabeth be judged by piers or boobsalots.
I think I’d be more worried if it had the typo (I assume) you just did – if it said a jury OR peers instead of a jury OF peers – as that would probably be easier for a malicious lawyer to argue about, saying it can be a jury of non-peers (or a non-jury of peers, depending on which would benefit the lawyer most), as piers is much more obviously a typo/absurd and thus (I assume) easier to dismiss.
