Friday Links

As our regular readers know all too well, we here at Abnormal Use typically adorn our weekly Friday Links posts with legal themed comic books covers. Today, of course, shall be no exception, as we feature the covers of issues #2 and #3 of the NCSC Justice Case Files. However, we must confess that we, as well as our firm of Gallivan, White, & Boyd, P.A., played a role in distributing these comic books to schoolchildren across South Carolina to better acquaint them with the legal process. That’s right, dear readers! We’re now comic book distributors!

Well, kind of.

The comics themselves are actually the brainchild of the National Center for State Courts (NCSC), which sought to advance civics education by creating the three issues, all of which address legal topics in an attempt to educate the public. Our firm, along with another South Carolina firm, purchased more than 3,000 of the comics books to donate to South Carolina teachers. Apparently, they’re a hot property, as 65 schools requested them for their students.

So, now we here are now just bloggers, we’re in the comics industry! Who knows what will be next? Perhaps DC Comics will now ask us to write a few issues of Batman?

(Side note: Don’t you think the guy holding his hand to his heart on the cover of issue #3 – depicted below – looks a lot like Dwight Schrute?)
