{{Tapped Out Maxwell Flinch Icon}}
{{TB|All right. What's the catastrophe du jour in the land of capes and speech bubbles?}}
{{Tapped Out Comic Book Guy Icon|Angry}}
{{TB|Catastrophe? Oh, just a so-called collector who dared to treat a limited edition, first printing, from my sanctum sanctorum as if it were a mere pamphlet or bootleg Archie!}}
{{Tapped Out Maxwell Flinch Icon}}
{{TB|Break down exactly what this, I'm going to assume middle-aged unmarried man, did.}}
{{Tapped Out Comic Book Guy Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|He de-sleeved it with his grubby mitts, and then after RUINING IT, had the audacity to demand a full refund!}}
{{Tapped Out Maxwell Flinch Icon}}
{{TB|Ok, so what's the problem? I imagine you said "no" and that was that, correct?}}
{{Tapped Out Comic Book Guy Icon}}
{{TB|WRONGO! He casually mentioned the law firm he has on retainer and proceeded to threaten to sue me for fraud if I didn't bow to his nonsensical refund demands!}}
{{Tapped Out Comic Book Guy Icon|Exhausted}}
{{TB|This is like being in the clutches of [[Darkseid]] himself, forced to betray the Justice League or face the wrath of the Anti-Life Equation.}}
{{Tapped Out Comic Book Guy Icon|Pain}}
{{TB|Worst. Predicament. Ever.}}
{{Tapped Out Maxwell Flinch Icon}}
{{TB|Ok, calm down. So, he opened the protective sleeve. Did he also read it by the light of a supernova, or maybe use it as a coaster for his cosmic latte?}}
{{Tapped Out Comic Book Guy Icon}}
{{TB|Are you getting glib with me, sir? Opening the sleeve of a rare comic is akin to pouring a bottle of BBQ sauce spill on the Shroud of Turin. It's DESECRATION!}}
{{Tapped Out Maxwell Flinch Icon}}
{{TB|Right. Let me put it in simpler terms. Did he inflict damage of a kind that could actually be considered damage?}}
{{Tapped Out Comic Book Guy Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|Must I explain the sacred bond between a collector's item and its sleeve? It's more inviolable than [[Aquaman]]'s vow not to eat sushi!}}
{{Tapped Out Maxwell Flinch Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|Ok, ok, I understand. I'm just trying to poke holes in your argument, which they will surely do to you.}}
{{Tapped Out Comic Book Guy Icon|Eye Roll}}
{{TB|{{*}}under his breath{{*}} I wish Daredevil was a real lawyer…}}
{{Tapped Out Maxwell Flinch Icon}}
{{TB|What'd you say?}}
{{Tapped Out Comic Book Guy Icon|Confused}}
{{TB|Nothing.}}

{{Tapped Out Maxwell Flinch Icon}}
{{TB|All right, I think I have what I need. Just so you are aware, however, my legal fees will start accumulating faster than back issues of '[[The Amazing Spider-Man]]' in your basement. Knowing this, would you like to proceed?}}
{{Tapped Out Comic Book Guy Icon}}
{{TB|Well, uh, regarding your fees, have you considered a rare, mint-condition, still-in-the-package form of payment?}}
{{Tapped Out Maxwell Flinch Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|No, I cannot accept action figures, comic books, or any signed photos of {{Ch|Stan Lee}} in lieu of payment. And just to be clear, when I say 'payment', I mean real American dollars, not 'Kryptonian lira' or 'Dagobah System Credits'.}}
{{Tapped Out Comic Book Guy Icon}}
{{TB|So, you're saying my first edition of 'Aquaman's Guide to Financial Planning' isn't a viable currency? Shocking. Truly shocking.}}
{{Tapped Out Maxwell Flinch Icon}}
{{TB|Yes, as shocking as finding out the villain was the hero's friend all along. Now, I need to make sure you can pay. Will that be a problem?}}
{{Tapped Out Comic Book Guy Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|Maybe I'll just give that guy his refund…}}

{{Tapped Out Maxwell Flinch Icon}}
{{TB|Another morning wasted chasing rainbows. I really need to find clients who can actually afford my rates, not just promise exposure and good karma.}}
{{Tapped Out The Rich Texan Icon}}
{{TB|Hey, you there, lawyer man!}}
{{Tapped Out Maxwell Flinch Icon|Surprised}}
{{TB|Me?}}
{{Tapped Out The Rich Texan Icon}}
{{TB|Yeah, you. You're one of them fancy city slicker lawyers, ain'tcha?}}
{{Tapped Out Maxwell Flinch Icon}}
{{TB|Guilty as charged. What's got you wound up tighter than a bull in a rodeo chute?}}
{{Tapped Out The Rich Texan Icon}}
{{TB|My current lawyers are fleecing me worse than a fox in a hen house. Think you can wrangle this legal mess better than they can?}}
{{Tapped Out Maxwell Flinch Icon|Confused}}
{{TB|Well, without knowing more than a coyote knows about a doorknob, it's tough to say—}}
{{Tapped Out The Rich Texan Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|Well, hop on, partner! Let's rustle up some details faster than a tumbleweed in a Lubbock windstorm!}}
{{Tapped Out Maxwell Flinch Icon}}
{{TB|Hang on, are we talking a simple legal roundup or a full-blown Houston hurricane of a case here?}}
{{Tapped Out The Rich Texan Icon}}
{{TB|Son, it's wilder than a night out in Austin during rodeo season! You ready to ride this bronco or you gonna stay on the porch?}}

{{Tapped Out The Rich Texan Icon}}
{{TB|…and here we are.}}
{{Tapped Out Maxwell Flinch Icon|Surprised}}
{{TB|Mr. Texan, there have to be hundreds of lawsuits here waiting to be filed.}}
{{Tapped Out The Rich Texan Icon}}
{{TB|At least!}}
{{Tapped Out Maxwell Flinch Icon}}
{{TB|And you are complaining that they are charging you too much for all this work?}}
{{Tapped Out The Rich Texan Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|Yeah, they keep bringing up "filing fees" and "preparation time" and such nonsense. So I fired the lot of 'em!}}
{{Tapped Out Maxwell Flinch Icon}}
{{TB|Well, sir. I am certainly willing to discuss taking over for them, but there may be some delays with filing as I take over…}}
{{Tapped Out The Rich Texan Icon|Angry}}
{{TB|Delays? I ain't payin' you for no delays!}}
{{Tapped Out Maxwell Flinch Icon}}
{{TB|…technically, sir, you aren't paying me at all right now.}}
{{Tapped Out The Rich Texan Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|And I'm good with that rate! What do you say we keep it?}}
{{Tapped Out Maxwell Flinch Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|…I think I'm going to have to pass. Good luck with your search for a new legal team.}}

{{Tapped Out Sea Captain Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|Arr, and then they said that they'd see me in court! The nerve of some folks, thinking they can navigate the legal waters better than an old sea dog like me.}}
{{Tapped Out Maxwell Flinch Icon}}
{{TB|…okay. Well, I've reviewed the case and it definitely looks like you should have no issues. It's tighter than a barnacle on a ship's hull.}}
{{Tapped Out Maxwell Flinch Icon}}
{{TB|Your buffet is clearly labeled according to food safety guidelines about its temperature, so it will be hard for them to claim that they "didn't know" that trying to drink the grease would be dangerous. It's like trying to sail a ship on land — just doesn't make sense.}}
{{Tapped Out Sea Captain Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|Aye, ye bring a good smile to me eye with this news. Like finding a pearl in an oyster, it is. Do ye need anything else from me?}}
{{Tapped Out Maxwell Flinch Icon}}
{{TB|I don't believe I do, no. But I'll be sure to let you know once I've had a chance to finish reviewing the information, drafting a legal response, and perhaps decoding more of your nautical metaphors.}}
{{Tapped Out Sea Captain Icon}}
{{TB|Fair winds to ye, lad. If you need me, I'll be navigating the treacherous seas of paperwork and employee schedules.}}

{{TB|Working outside's nice, but I miss having an office. You know, a place where my biggest problem is a dying plant, not a dying laptop battery.}}
{{Tapped Out Maxwell Flinch Icon}}
{{TB|Off to court now. It's like a trip to the dentist — unpleasant but necessary. Maybe I'll get lucky and find a judge who gives out lollipops.}}

{{TB|Do you have anything else to add, Mr. Flinch?}}
{{Tapped Out Maxwell Flinch Icon}}
{{TB|No sir.}}
{{Tapped Out Judge Snyder Icon}}
{{TB|Then I find in favor of the defendant, Horatio McCallister, and dismiss this case.}}
{{Tapped Out Sea Captain Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|Ya-har!}}
{{Tapped Out Maxwell Flinch Icon}}
{{TB|If I could, your honor…}}
{{Tapped Out Judge Snyder Icon}}
{{TB|Yes, Mr. Flinch?}}
{{Tapped Out Maxwell Flinch Icon}}
{{TB|We had added in a request for the plaintiff to cover the defendant's legal fees.}}
{{Tapped Out Judge Snyder Icon}}
{{TB|Unfortunately, since there was some basis for this suit, I do not find any reason to award damages in this case.}}
{{Tapped Out Maxwell Flinch Icon}}
{{TB|Ah, I see. Thank you, your honor.}}
