There Oughta Be a Law

Harry Shorten’s There Oughta Be a Law (1971–present) is a single-issue comic from the Modern [1970s] era, published by an independent press. Written and drawn entirely by Shorten, this one-shot presents a satirical, cartoonish look at the absurdities of everyday life and the legal system. Its lasting significance lies in its concise, creator-driven humor, offering a time capsule of early-1970s social commentary through a single, self-contained story.
