Red and Rover by Brian Basset for September 12, 2015

Poor Rover can’t look!

Perhaps he spends more on Mr. Oinkers than anything else? Yes, there have been months when the bank fees exceed my grocery spending.

Long term investments is a good choice because it puts a smile on your face and keeps you thinking about the next great adventure.

Piggy banks don’t have the stopper plugs any longer?

One technique is to stick a butter knife in the slot, turn the bank upside down and catch the coins.

I learned the pig bank secret from Donald Duck comic books. Huey (the one with the blue cap) would stuck a butter knife into the slot and shake the pig upside down til the money fell out.

TomTheBratTry a credit union. The interest on deposits may be small, but so is it on loans. Besides, you are an owner.

I was given a hand me down bank. A metal elephant that you put the coin in it’s trunk and pull the tail down and the coin went inside the top of it’s head. It has a large metal screw on one side than you turn and it open the bank into two sides. The bank itself is now probably worth more money than I ever put in it. It is so old and people love those metal animated banks. It has to be over 100 years old.

Rover, you are such a sensitive pooch – love you.

LOVE & HUGS TO RED & ROVER

I never had the piggy bank, I had a small safe, I would take it to my parents and the would either open it for me or would change the combination on me.

Slide a table knife in the slot as a channel to jiggle the coins out (and in the era this takes place, a comic would’ve been less than 50 cents.)
