"Strudel" said the judge. "Do you admit to harassing Tom?"
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQT7czif7II
"I did not harass him, Judge Rudy" said Strudel.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWU6wc6y7kt
"Objection, your honor!" Tom's lawyer, Ron, stood up.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbvGq52il7
"I have an objection to make!" said Strudel. "Nobody ever told me about a lawyer!"
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUsKtzX41l
"Here I am" Stick walked in.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXBngQyeZq
"Stick?" said Strudel. "You're my lawyer?"
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2R9U3Y0Ue
"Yep" said Stick.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaUfucjuTS
"Objection, your honor" said Tom's dad.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qGHEdVHaL
"Stick is his lawyer" said Rudy. "Deal with it"
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZQEjvOSFN
Stick stepped up to the podium. "Waffles, is it true that Tom threw a rock at Strudel's car in your driveway?"
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPCmYcFakk
"Yes" Waffles said immediately.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg15fSBblSw
Tom's mom looked over at Waffles sweetly.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmN9EzX9cT3
"But-" Waffles hesitated. "But Strudel punched him first"
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PvF8DB8q8
Tom's mom broke down into tears.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwj5YELLMl
"Strudel" said Ron. "Did you or did you not beat up Tom?"
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RK2m04HEP
"I did" said Strudel. "But he was trespassing"
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZtrtuiCc5
Ib spoke up. "Tom was"
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeyXsjPqBT
"No one gave that boy permission to speak" said Tom's dad.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm8c6v3MdD
"Your side has an advantage of one extra person" said Stick.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmieng8VFSe
"That doesn't matter" said Tom's dad. "He still had no permission to speak"
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqQ6RWpH1h
"Order in the court!" shouted Rudy. "Strudel has no father, and Tom does. Would you like to leave, Mr. Tom's Dad?"
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0xuV2TzgF
"No ma'am" said Tom's dad.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10GgQpDbrj
"Then hush" said Rudy.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOluwR8ihn
"Tom's Mom" said Stick. "What is it that you have there?"
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KGzZiq8Ka
"Tom's last art project" said Tom's mom, holding up the drawing with the shoeprint, which was also stained with Tom's blood.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9eP3AGjah
"Is that supposed to be you?" Pearl whispered to Strudel.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkbCRUcSge
"Ahem" said Rudy. "Something you'd like to say?"
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDqzZZCh8e
"That's a vury good drawing" Ib spoke up.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJ7P0k9WNS
"It's Strudel" said Pearl.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pQi46IVwF
"Yeah" said Waffles. "It's Strudel, me, Tom, and Pia"
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKd7pKrK0LE
Tom's mom burst into tears.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWqLrnylml
"Order in the court!" Rudy banged her gavel on the table.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OHsOD7FUm
"Strudel" Ron began.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64z2Kh9vLW
"Yes?" said Strudel.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTA4Oe9TBwM
"Is it true that you harassed Tom?" said Ron.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1lQRiw7bK
"I DIDN'T harass him!" said Strudel. "I already said that!"
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiXLuR2Qtw
"Objection!" Stick stood up.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedAjADlGJ3
"Stick" said Strudel. "Do you even know what you're doing?"
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGbAj9fj48
"No, I do not" Stick admitted.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItORSUF2ZH
Doreen & Fiona chuckled from the jury.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxHeORRe76
"He threw a rock at my car!" Strudel argued defensively.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRVocG0Sgm
"And why would my son do that?" Tom's dad asked angrily.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpTlKrmsWh
"Because Tom stalked me!" Waffles blurted out.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJD4o8LPfil
"Waffles" Tom's dad hissed. "Just to let you know, we are paying you $800 to defend TOM, not Strudel."
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRetu3usvs
"You paid her?" said Stick. "I object!"
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGNPnDfMfV
"Order!" Rudy banged her gavel again.
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeRZoTMa4D
"I don't care" said Waffles. "Tom was a total stalker. Strudel saved me from him. And Stick's right, because I object, too. Tom's parents, you can't try and bribe me. I never liked your son. I always thought he was a freak"
