Description

A split-panel cartoon, presented as a newsreel, depicting a judge scolding potential jurors for shirking their duties. He says, “Don’t you know that it is the duty of every citizen to give his time and energies to the urgent affairs of the commonwealth regardless of his personal comfort and pleasure?” The bottom frame depicts an idle janitor in a courtroom with cases mounting behind him. When asked, “When are our cases coming on?,” the janitor replies, “I dunno." The judge is on a three months vacation up to Lake Gazook, catching trout.”
