ALT A courtroom scene cartoon from a 19th century Punch. It depicts a wigged judge making an outraged face at the defense table, while jurors laugh in the background. The defense lawyer, also in a wig, reaches out as if to stop their client. The client has been replaced with a cartoon of a figure being strangled by a boa constrictor. The boa constrictor's coils have been colored in the Google logo's colors. The figure's head has been replaced with the head of Fortnite's 'Blaze.' On the courtroom wall is a clock ticking toward's midnight. The clock's hour hand is a saber. The clock's 12 has been replaced with a millionaire pig-in-a-tophat motif, his face contorted in fear as the saber draws nearer.
