Oh no, he can plead cute. Cute is definitely grounds for dismissal. And snorgling.

2 Jewels 04.03.08 at 5:53 am

OMG! OMG!

**BLEEN***

I never thought it would be me!

PS: Of course he can plead cute. Dogs have been getting away with this for YEARS…it is all part of their evil plan.

Cute is the only sure-fire plea, and my tux kitty knows it.

4 Hon Glad 04.03.08 at 6:39 am

Guilty of being cute.

5 Subhangi 04.03.08 at 6:46 am

Yes he CAN!

6 Annie 04.03.08 at 7:07 am

Oh yeah, all he has to do is turn on the big ol sad puppy dog eyes and he can plead cute and have all the snackies in the house.

7 taj 04.03.08 at 7:18 am

hmm… my new trial strategy, bring in cute puppies!

8 Gail 04.03.08 at 9:57 am

LOVE the New Yorker cartoons—SO GREAT!!!

I guess the plea depends on the charge? Is “Cute” an affirmative defense? (whipping out my Law & Order vocabulary)!

You want The Cute? You can’t handle The Cute!

11 Theresa 04.03.08 at 12:21 pm

My favorite birthday pres last years was “75 Years of New Yorker Cartoons.”

Also, the collections of NY’er dog and cat cartoons are great, too. Plead cute all you want, li’l buddies!

12 metsakins 04.03.08 at 12:27 pm

cute in the New Yorker? my worlds are colliding.

13 Theo 04.03.08 at 12:29 pm

“Objection, Your Honor! I refer you to Rule 501c, Article V, Federal Rules of Evidence statute, which states unequivocally, and I quote, ‘OH YEAH’???”

Furthermore, wuff.

I’ll second the hover text Baroo and raise the ante with a head tilt/ Princess Di eyes.
Poifect cartoon for an early morning.

15 redangell 04.03.08 at 1:28 pm

gooeyctr…LOL…no one can handle the cute! BTW hello all, been lurking here for about 1.5 – 2 years. Always makes my day; thanks Meg!

16 Alex Wells 04.03.08 at 1:55 pm

Too cute!

17 Jennie 04.03.08 at 2:03 pm

Yr Honor, I refute that I cannot plead cute! If I can show you this…(Shows Shrek 2, Puss in Boots….) then brings out kittens…Judge melts, case dismissed…

18 Mary 04.03.08 at 2:53 pm

Remember another Barsotti NYer cartoon? Judge (holding a gavel) to puppy: “Not guilty, because puppies do these things.”

19 temperance 04.03.08 at 4:45 pm

barsotti captures puppies like no one else.

i’ve framed two of ‘em- the ‘not guilty’ one, and the puppy auction where the bidding starts at 11 million dollars.

20 berthaslave 04.03.08 at 5:29 pm

A New Yorker cartoon that can be understood by anyone! (j/k, I love The New Yorker…Seymour Hirsh is a god among men).

Is there a James Thurber award somewhere out there?

This reminds me of his wonderful dogs.

23 Harold 04.03.08 at 9:58 pm

Could he appeal?

24 lurkingsmirk 04.04.08 at 1:22 am

brinnann–that second comic is GOLD. Can we add that to this post?

25 Mrs. Catlabash 04.04.08 at 1:25 am

Yes, yes he can. And if it’s accompanied by furious tail-wagging, the judge may as well turn in his gavel, because anarchy will reign.

And if she’s a kitteh, she can curl her tail around her little self and wrap herself into a perfect little sphinx while she gives you the Princess Di look out of her sad, sad, famished eyes… not 90 seconds after she’s devoured her breakfast. And a good part of yours.

Yes yes. They can plead cute at the drop of a biscuit, and they know it.

26 Totalee Puppy 04.04.08 at 2:37 am

Hey, yes–APPEAL! (Thank
Harold for speling)…Dont he got lotsa Appeal?? If this puppy dont appeal to you, where you been?

27 M. 04.04.08 at 3:02 am

I don’t know your Honor… I think this jury disagrees.

28 Barbarella 04.04.08 at 9:09 am

Hahaha! I love it! :D

29 Totalee Puppy 04.04.08 at 10:37 am

JENNIE–When you REFUEL,
everything comes out OK!
Puss in Boots from the Shrek Show…bring on da
kittens-His Honorary dont stand a chance…How come
judge melts?? You dont like
him–WHAT? Too many laser
battles Saturday AM–Yeah,I watch em too…LUV U.

30 Laura 04.04.08 at 4:36 pm

This is the perfect thing for today after a stressful week to put a smile on my face. Just finished a moot court practice argument for law school.
I wish we could use the cute argument!
