That’ll be fifty bucks

If you’re wondering whether there is more background to this story I can confirm that there is not. This kid (he was high school age, but I’m old enough to call everybody “kid” now, so don’t take it personally) emailed me totally out of the blue and said I should write about him. Never met him before or since, but I admired his pluck and nobody’s ever tried asking straight up like that before. So I indulged him. However, the next person who tries is going to need to beĀ much more convincing. [October 11th, 2013]

 

No prestidigitation here!

This comic made it to the 2nd page of /r/Funny on popular website Reddit.com. I didn’t submit it and have no proof of this happening. It’s also what inspired me to start putting the URL on my comics, because I was never cited and as far as I can tell I’ve gotten no additional traffic because of it. My claim to fame!
