Tornado Chasers
Brown Rabbit and Tort Bunny head towards a tornado in a pickup truck.
Tort Bunny: There's the tornado! Turn
left and get ahead of it!
End of panel.
Tort Bunny: Stop here and help
me with this box.
End of panel.
The two unload a cardbox box full of flyers.
Tort Bunny: If we're lucky, the storm
will pass right over here
and pick up these flyers.
Brown Rabbit: Wait, flyers?
End of panel.
Brown Rabbit reads one of the flyers in the box.
Brown Rabbit: Shoddy construction? Medical
malpractice? Insurance companies
dragging their feet? Call now and
we'll make someone pay.
Brown Rabbit: Call Tortious "The Hammer" Bunny today.
End of panel.
Tort Bunny: Yeah, the ABA says we can't directly
solicit tornado victims for business.
Tort Bunny: But there's no rule against having
the tornado do the soliciting for you!
End of panel.
Brown Rabbit: This is wrong.
Tort Bunny: But it's ethical!
End of comic.
