I got this weird idea for a series based off of Pokemon, which I'm still developing. In the meantime, here's a related strip that I may or may not be basing it off of.
I like it, too... although in fact people on death row usually end up costing the government more in legal rigamarole than they would if they were given life in jail.
I chose "the death penalty" as their topic of debate because that was the subject of the last debate I was in back in high school. My own opinion is that most problems with the death penalty are actually the fault of the appeals process - if you simply tightened the criteria for placing someone on the death penalty, you wouldn't need such a bulky appeals process. As it stands, the appeals process is what makes the death penalty economically whack, since it's used both by people who should have never been put on death row in the first place, and by people who do deserve the death penalty but are using the legal system to prolong the inevitable for waaaaaaaay too long.
Anyways, this is the series idea I came up with. Let me know what you think.
--- It was such a waste of everyone’s time and money that even the Tokyo stadium’s **** robots apologized– something they were programmed specifically never to do.
HCRoyal: I had a feeling VG Cats probably addressed this one. Great find, I definitely laughed my ass off.
ArtemisStrong: A pokeyman is kind of like a Dorkemon that doesn't swear or threaten to kill people that **** off their trainer. In short, Dorkemon are cooler.
Everyone Else: Thanks for the positive feedback thus far! Here's a couple more I rattled off...
