We’ve clearly been cursed by the Chinese, because these are extraordinarily interesting times. Financial markets are collapsing. Panic abounds. Budgets are shrinking (if not disappearing altogether). Funding is tight and getting tighter (as are our belts) and the outlook for the future is grim. Very Grim.
But let us not lose hope! We can make the best of the looming global depression with a few simple tips from Gabe Soria (a friend of mine from my Brooklyn days) and Joseph Remnant who give us a timely and remarkably hopeful comic entitled “Tips on How to Enjoy the Upcoming Depression,” which originally appeared in Arthur Magazine No. 32 (Dec 2008). Click on the image below for a larger, eminently more readable version. Click on that to zoom even further.
Great cartoon, but gender-biased, Mikhail. It seems like “the upcoming depression” will mainly hit men!
Hey, I just report ‘em, I don’t write ‘em. Interesting point, though. Let’s see if we can get Gabe to comment.
my name is Gabe Soria. Don’t let the beard throw you, I am in fact a woman.
Oh, Man. That was the best reply ever.
Hell yeah: if it is going to only affect men, I am all for it:)
