My cartoons are drawn and submitted four to six weeks before they appear in the paper, so I often see something different in them after they're published than I did when I drew them. This is one of those cases.
As I look at it now, I wonder if I shouldn't have had the lawyer pointing an accusatory finger at the magician, instead of motioning to his client. I wonder if some readers were not confused by this joke.
Live and learn.
