Do scientists still say Eureka when they discover something big? I hope so, since otherwise we would never know when something important is discovered.

And they still have to prove the same old same old theories, so they deserve a little fun. Especially nowadays!

But this is 1984, and words aren’t free anymore. Language is scrutinized, attacked, shamed, sued, and dissected like the poor frogs used to be. And ACLU is nowhere to be found.

Fun fact: I explain copyright infringement over here.

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