twenty

A single-panel comic. Two people with a purple background watch something off-screen. In front is a person with blue hair; behind, a person with green flame-like hair and round white glasses speaks in a large speech bubble: "Why is he holding all those twenty dollar bills? Is he going to a candy store or something? I guess that's why he needs the big car and why all the women are interested." A caption below reads: "One day, currency inflation will make rap videos hilarious." The joke: as inflation makes twenty-dollar bills nearly worthless, the wealth-flaunting of rap videos will read as confusingly trivial. Votey (aftercomic): a black-bordered box of hand-lettered text reading: "Someone should write a paper about the ideal way to preserve the appearance of wealth, e.g. all alcohol should be fine wine, unopened. No cash, just valuable baseball cards."
