Transcript:
Caulfield: So I caught a piece on planet money about cornering markets. And it occurred to me: Valentine's Day is on a Sunday this year. As in Sunday color comics sections. Frazz: I see where you're going here. Caulfield: I bought up all the red ink I could and goosed the price to match demand. Frazz: Are you going to split the profits with planet money? Caulfield: Why not? Twix bars come already divided in two. Frazz: Man, they've shrunk the funnies. Caulfield: If I'd done this in the eighties I'd have college all paid for.

Let’s not have anymore about the characters knowing they’re in a comic strip. It’s not funny and it’s not original. But then, neither is Deadpool.

BobApparently the rich can declare bankruptcy as often as they like (leaving the poor with the unpaid debt), but the rest of us can only do it once and are ruined for life.
