    French pain = English “bread”, which a beatnik might call money.

    Who now has lots of pain? Doesn’t make any sense and seems forced to set up the joke, so not really a joke.

    I’m French and don’t get it… Is it about “beat(ing)” and “pain” (slang in french for “punch”)? Or “gagner son pain” (earn a living) because “billionaire” / money?

    Problem is, Horace is delivering the joke verbally. “Pain” in English has a different vowel than “pain” in French.

    It works only reading the strip. It doesn’t if saying out loud. For those who don’t get it, “pain” is French for bread.

    He’s half baked. He only has lots of dough.

    I thought Horace had his own comic strip.
