Mischa Richter: In the Court of Public Opinion

Never mind the courts! A cartoon by Mischa Richter from 1995 mocks the fact that legal cases are "tried" in the court of public opinion on the afternoon talk shows. "The Sally Jessy Raphael Show," later simply "Sally," aired from 1983 to 2002. Note that the artist misspelled the talk show host's middle name as Jesse in his hand-written caption.

"Your case has been turned down by Oprah, but we're
appealing to Sally Jessy Raphael."
