The scan: sc-n141-apr-03-1980.pdf (PDF, Marxists Internet Archive, opens at this page)
This text was corrected by hand against the scan: the strip at the head of page 14, which the machine reading did not see; image taken from the scan and its lettering transcribed (18 Oct 2026). One of Cormac's Bad Taste strips: the high-court judge. Note: printed without the Bad Taste title panel or a number, at the head of the letters page; between no. 69 (27 March 1980) and no. 70.
The strip, panel by panel
1. (A judge on the bench thinks:) "How nice to be a high-court judge!"
2. (Justice, blindfolded, with scales:) "Administering British justice without fear or favour!" "So stern and so righteous!"
3. (A young man:) "On the other hand there are ways of making a living which are more decent and honest ..."
4. (He runs off with a handbag:) "..Like snatching old ladies' handbags!"
