Hey Paris, Let It All Hang Down
I do a cartoon every month for Inside Counsel Magazine. It’s for a humor feature called Strange Suits, which looks at some of the more bizarre lawsuits that have been filed recently. The latest involves socialite Paris Hilton who’s being sued for $35 million by a hair extensions manufacturer for allegedly breaking her contract by wearing a rival company’s extensions. Here, everyone gets into the act. Scroll down to see the rough sketches for the other lawsuits.A Queens, NY man is suing the makers of Trident gum because he thought that chewing the gum would repair his teeth and save him a trip to the dentist.
Apple Corp is being sued over its new iPad, which Apple claims is “just like reading from a book.” Not so, says a class action lawsuit, which contends that a real book does
not sometimes shut down when read in direct sunlight.A woman is suing a bus company after the driver opened the door, leaned out, vomited, and then fell out. The bus continued down the road and ran into a ditch.
And the original rough sketch for the Paris Hilton lawsuit:
Very good! Your cartoons show us how outrageous and ridiculous law suits can be.

I love that cascading mullet on the prosecuting lawyer in the Paris Hilton illustration! Also, everyone knows that a sugary chewing gum replaces any need for dentistry… doesn’t it? Thanks for sharing these, Mark.
