Comic Court

The Cast

Faceless authority, one empty robe at a time.

  • Referee Largemouth

    Referee. Not Clydesdale — a different woman, a different face, a different failure — a distinction the building has never once managed to make.

    Recent appearances: Interpretations, Chain of Custody, Herbig is Hungry

  • Referee Clydesdale

    Referee. Endlessly taken for Largemouth, with whom she shares a job title and nothing else — not a face, not a temper, not a failure. She stopped correcting it years ago. It was never going to stop.

    Recent appearances: Interpretations, Chain of Custody, Herbig is Hungry

  • Judge Bumpkin

    District judge. Presides with the serene confidence of a filing cabinet that has been assured it is a judge.

    Recent appearances: The Order, In Chambers, Herbig is Hungry

  • Lyon Lawyer

    First-year lawyer. Still files motions expecting outcomes. The building regards this as a temporary condition.

    Recent appearances: Interpretations, The Order, Chain of Custody

  • Herbig Byootox

    Clerk, twenty years in. Has eaten at least one ADA request and possibly a subpoena; here, digestion counts as processing.

    Recent appearances: In Chambers, Please Do Not Eat, Delicious

  • Miss Broody

    Court reporter, and the sole competent party present. Records the truth verbatim, that it may go permanently unread.

    Not yet seen in a published strip.

  • Justice Ascot

    Appellate judge. Sound at ground level, but the higher bench thins the reasoning; reverses rulings for the view.
