This is a purely educational website. Nothing here is legal advice or creates or implies an attorney-client relationship. If you have a specific legal issue, PLEASE talk to a lawyer who practices where you live—laws vary from place to place, and how they're applied varies from courthouse to courthouse. Your local county bar association can probably refer someone who handles matters like yours.

It's best to keep all discussions in the comments. But if you really need to reach Nathan privately, go ahead and email him at n.e.burney@gmail.com. He won't mind.
THE ILLUSTRATED GUIDE TO LAW and the PEEKING JUSTICE logo are pretty damn cool trademarks and should probably be registered one of these days.

Previously, we had the case of a girl drawing comics, and she tried to invoke her rights after she started talking, without success.
What is different here ?
The short answer is that the cartoonist was trying to “take the Fifth,” while this guy is trying to assert his Miranda rights. Miranda is a special set of rules for a special situation, being interrogated while in police custody.
The long answer is this chapter, I guess. (I hope that doesn’t come off as snarky.)
Oops, Thanks you !
Love your comic by the way, it’s easy to understand even for someone who doesn’t study law
