When convicts think green, not crime.

Jailbird one-ups his attorney

Ah, this cartoon of a convict and his lawyer visitation still makes  me laugh! I was thinking of an attorney when I wrote it, but nowadays it could also be a reporter or an author of a true crime book, amIright? Or a…convict groupie? Charles Manson had several. I think most serial murderers do.

I am not sure there are many prisoners like the one in the cartoon, who aren’t self-centered or uneducated, or who want to help climate change. But here’s hoping for a better quality of low-lifes among the incarcerated. 🙂

About the drawing

I really like the ink wash on this textured watercolor paper, which I did by hand with india ink. I’ve never found a brush on Photoshop that can equal the beauty of real watercolor or wash.

Here’s how to buy this or any law cartoon for powerpoint, law journals, newsletters, books, etc.

ID #n505m        Caption: But enough about me. Let’s concentrate on saving the wetlands, or alternative energy sources. (prisoner talks to his attorney about green issues and the environment)
