Take a look at the "Judge Wright" comic strip over at Stripper's Guide: http://strippersguide.blogspot.com/2008/07/obscurity-of-day-judge-wright.html It seems that Judge Wright, the main character of a strip that lasted for a short time in the 1940s, enjoyed giving criminals one chance after another. The arc on display at the link shows the judge planning to give another chance to a delinquent teenager who had been sentenced to probation the previous morning, committed a larceny and a burglary, was given another chance by being put into the judge's custody, and then the next morning fractured the skull of one of his criminal cohorts. Apparently Judge Wright was a crime-fighter in the same sense that Garfield is anorexic. Actually, not all judges are crime-fighting.

Pete Moss: I'm afraid I don't even know where or who Hampton is, so no. (I think there has been at least two waves of Makholms emigrating to the US; neither are related to those of us found in Denmark). Squeee! Thanks, everyone.

What a novel and entertaining idea. You might also consider adding a disease-fighting nurse, an illiteracy-fighting middle school teacher and perhaps a fire-fighting fireman, to add to the variety. Throw in a busman who drives buses and you’ll be all set.” </i> I immediately cast this with Tommie, Miss Honeystump, Brad and Crankshaft. It was only then I knew that the takeover of my brain was complete. “A crime-fighting judge? What a novel and entertaining idea.
