Well, back when a “buck” was an actual buckskin, you could at least make a pair of pants from it… this green stuff, all you can do is pass it on to somebody else…
Yep. Only thing keeping our currency afloat is our faith in it…. and the Chinese having faith in it. People loose faith in that little green piece of paper and we get instant monetary collapse. Mull that over when you go to bed tonight.
Hey, you know what’s even better? I don’t even have to USE the little green slips of paper. I can hand over my little piece of plastic and it will electronically use SUBSTITUTES for the worthless slips of paper that I don’t even possess! Is this being great country or what?
Well um… My own personal Slackertude aside, Frequency of updates somewhat depends upon what else I have to occupy my time between pages… Like ferinstance, I haven’t actually started inking the next page as yet – instead I’ve been futsing with writing the pages following plus a few others…
With the current page I also didn’t have a calendar pix to work on, which I will have this next time ‘round… But of course the *Ahem* Killer Excuse for this time of the year is the San Diego Comic Con – 5 days of nonstop Sales, Deals, an’ Spiels – (then a week to recover)… and as every cartoonist worth his Salt will be there… Oh Wait! The Doc told me to lay off Salt – so I skipped the Con this year… Bummer! One killer cop-out down the tubes!
Today, the gold and silver hucksters are buying up back to back to back commercials. Its as crazy as Bunz’s observation about green paper and accumulated wealth (inflation?).
I wasn’t gonna go here but since this discussion has taken an economic turn; “So…. if everyone believes ((anything)) to have value, then through their misconception it acquires value?”
That’s how it works kiddo. Can anybody say “Tulips”? (or “rare” magic cards, beanie babies, “collectable” coins plated with a layer of gold so thin that if you breath on them the steel shows through… )
In reference to the new calender page: See? Told ya. No swim suit is safe when there are tentacles around. How is it that alien sea creatures always get the hot chicks? (and how do they know the difference?) Things that make you go – hmmmmmm….

Think of it as the symbol of the link between what you want and what you’re willing to give up to get what you want.
Try not to think that it’s just fiat money, printed up, without anything of worth other than debt backing it up.
How many of you have a mental picture of some TV personality letting you in on the investment secrets of precious metals?
To Katz, the true value of various metals is how they taste.
By the way, does this nine day gap between posting new comics imply anything about posting future comics?
