1. Title: I - The Lawyer: And They Get Away With It 2. Description: This six-panel comic strip, published in Puck magazine on October 24, 1914, presents an amusing tale of a man's encounter with Mister Windbag, a notoriously verbose and expensive lawyer. In the first panel, the man, eager to open a pickle factory, consults Mister Windbag for legal advice. The lawyer, known for his eloquent yet nonsensical speech, engages the man in a lengthy conversation, filling the room with empty words. 3. In the second panel, the man, now frustrated and concerned about the escalating costs, shares his predicament with his wife. He informs her that they will have to cut back on expenses, such as eggs and butter, to cover the hefty legal fees. 4. The third panel shows Mister Windbag, still in the midst of his lengthy discourse, oblivious to the man's financial struggles. In the fourth panel, the man, exasperated, interrupts the lawyer, demanding to know how much he will be charged for his services. 5. In the fifth panel, Mister Windbag, without missing a beat, casually reveals the $500 fee. The man, shocked, looks on in disbelief as the lawyer continues to speak, seemingly unfazed by the man's reaction. 6. In the final panel, the man, now resigned to his fate, hands over the money to Mister Windbag. The lawyer, with a satisfied smirk, thanks the man for his business, assuring him that his legal matters will be handled efficiently. 7. This comic strip, a classic example of early 20th-century satire, humorously portrays the common frustration and exorbitant costs associated with hiring a lawyer. It serves as a reminder of the importance of understanding legal fees and the value of clear communication between clients and their legal representatives.
