The King; Legal Ducks

Update: Allow me to introduce... The King: (Through and through inspired by the same-named character in Mark Twain's original story)




And here're the legal eagles ducks:





J. and A. Drake. Lawyers from Duck, Duck & Waterfowl.

Those two drakes are very, very loosely inspired by two real life lawyers. A former elementary school classmate of me and his associate. (Well, they, the real ones, don't look or act like ducks, of course. They just have, hopefully, a good sense of humor. At least in this case...)

"Put up evidence or shut up!"

...sorry.

The Nicely Evil Doctor Dish-Soap





Dr. Dish-Soap: We could think of him as the invisible meaning behind... whatever.
