A four-panel comic. Panel 1: a small winged fairy hovers beside a man with orange hair and hands him a pink bag, saying it is a magic bag that gives him whatever he needs most whenever he reaches inside. Panel 2: the man holds the bag and reacts with alarm, exclaiming about all the people he owes money and all his credit card debt. Panel 3: a close-up shows him pulling out a sheet of paper labeled 'BUDGET' and saying 'ALL THE...'. Panel 4: arms crossed and frowning, the man has thrown the magic bag into a small fire on the ground; it burns while the fairy hovers helplessly in the background. The joke: what he needs most is a budget, but he refuses it and destroys the bag. Votey: a close-up of the man's annoyed face declaring, 'You don't know me, magic bag! Samurai swords are an investment!'
