It’s amazing that this strip published almost 15 years ago and yet properly summarizes what’s happening in our economy today. CEO overpay, employee demands, bailouts, and company policy make their way into this classic comic strip from Bill Watterson. I think the only thing missing is the Susie character taking out an adjustable rate loan to actually buy the $15.00 lemon-aid. What a great, timely piece this has turned out to be. See the strip.

About Calvin and Hobbes:  One of my favorite comic strips as a kid.  I remember a friend introducing it to me, and looking forward to it every day as it made it’s run through the late 80’s and early 90’s.  I always found the writing, creativity, and ingenuity priceless.
