Description
If you enjoy humor a bit dark, a tad outrageous with a whiff of the sinister and macabre, then this collection of cartoons, Polly Wants A Lawyer is for you. Long time New Yorker cartoonist Nick Downes has a talent for finding hilarity down the mean streets of law & disorder. Crazed criminals, corrupt cops, tainted juries, chaotic courtrooms, schemers, hustlers and cranks, Downes handles all with a deft comic touch. With Polly Wants A Lawyer, Nick Downes presents a rogues gallery of bitingly funny takes on our sordid world of crime & punishment.

-Emma Allen, Cartoon Editor of The New Yorker
"I didn't know I could laugh out loud while gasping in shock, but this book made me do it over and over...Deceptively sweet-looking cartoons that pack a real gut punch. "
-Mike Reiss, Award winning comedy writer and executive producer of 'The Simpsons'
"Nick Downes has never been to jail. He's a good boy."
-Sam Gross, Cartoonist for The New Yorker, National Lampoon, Playboy, and many others
