Funny Money, or How Winslow Got His Indentured Servitude Back
Credit cards good, if we don't spend the terrorists have won, etc. etc. Nothing ventured by our beneficent comic strip writer (without whom we would not be here today), nothing gained by us, the readers who clamor for more.
I'm one of those odd ducks who has never had and may never have a credit card. I suppose I'm one of those old tyme Paul Simon "pay as you go" Democrats. Heck, I don't even get credit for good deeds I often participate in achieving, such as the time I tried to provide for a homeless gentleman. I gave him a nice & crisp $5 bill and only asked for a single penny in return. Having respected the intelligence of my exchange partner, I assumed he was aware that such a penny (in very good condition, no less) would fetch $75,000 easily on the coin market. Yet to this day, I've been ostracized by my putative pals at the Numismatic Society for coming into possession of such a fine specimen in this manner, and have been blackballed into being unable to place it in a loving home (with a small adoption fee of $75,000). No good deed goes unpunished, indeed.

This comic is like a bad penny, always turning up when you thought it was a goner.
