Every year at San Diego Comic Con time, Patrick McDonnell turns over a week of his brilliant Mutts strip to superheroes. Too bad for them, they are always tormented by Bip and Bop, a pair of squirrels, sure to be their newest arch-villains, who live in what must be the most perfect tree in the world, as every hero is compelled to spend a few minutes in its shade. In the past, he’s done DC heroes one year, Marvel the next, but this time he’s mixed them up. Bonus points if you can identify the classic cover he’s paying homage to in the Sunday strip.

“That’s not an ad, that’s a secret origin!”

“The name’s Casino. Jamie Casino. I’m a lawyer.”

This may be the best lawyer ad ever. Period.

Move over Avengers, you’ve got competition. Marvel comics needs to be kicking themselves for not creating a character like this. Sure, Daredevil is really a lawyer named Matt Murdoch, but he’s a wuss compared to Jamie Casino. If Marvel’s Ghost Rider movie was half as good as this ad, Nic Cage would have had a hit on his hands instead of, well, another Nic Cage movie.

 

BTW, who am I quoting in the title? Me, of course.
