October 26, 2009. See Martin v. Martin, 878 S.W.2d 30 (Ky. Ct. App. 1994) for a description of how ouster works.
I originally wanted to have Tort Bunny and Brown Rabbit engaged in a joust for word-play reasons but got hung up on the facial expressions of the rabbits' steeds. I then considered having them ride bicycles, but my rabbits do not have long enough legs to reach the pedals (although Big Wheels might have worked). I then tried making a sketch of Tort Bunny jousting on an office chair.
It occurred to me, however, that not everyone would recognize the time-honored tradition of office chair jousting (or the closely related sport of mattress jousting), so I went with a car plowing into a phone booth. See Bigbee v. Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Co., 93 Cal. App. 3d 451 (1979).
Oust!
Brown Rabbit: Tort Bunny and I are tenants
in common a phone booth
we own together.
End of panel.
Brown Rabbit: But now that I have a mobile phone, I no
longer have need of this property. How can
I make Tort Bunny pay me rent for the
share of the phone booth I no longer use?
End of panel.
Negligent Lop: Tort Bunny has to oust you from
the phone booth before you can
charge rent.
Brown Rabbit: And how would that work?
Negligent Lop: Lemme talk to Tort
Bunny about that.
End of panel.
Brown Rabbit is trapped inside a red telephone booth with his mobile phone.
Tort Bunny is driving a red car-shaped box towards him very quickly.
Brown Rabbit has an exclamation point over his head.
End of comic.
