New Yorker cartoonist Danny Shanahan wittily portrays litigious living in this hilarious volume of 120-plus cartoons on lawyers, legal matters, and courtroom antics. From corporate contretemps to judicial jujitsu, Innocent, Your Honor, a new addition to Abrams' popular line of books by New Yorker cartoonists, covers a wide compendium of colorful characters and twisted tales.Law is the profession we all love to hate, and this book shows us why. From an aspiring attorney, who confesses, "I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die. After that, law school was pretty much a given," to the mythical Hercules signing a contract where ". . . she gets the house, the chariot, and custody of the kids. You get to keep the lion skin," to a terrifying future in which "everyone will be a lawyer for fifteen minutes," Shanahan's offbeat humor is sure to delight anyone who is involved in the legal profession or who has an upcoming day in court. Just don't sue Shanahan if you hurt yourself laughing!
