Either $5 was a fortune back then or that is one cheap boss.
Comic must be old. The boss is wearing spats.
Slightly more than 70 years ago I found my father’s pay stub and thought “Wow! What a lot of money!” On reflection, today I say: “What a rip-off.”
$5 in 1940 equals $32 today. Of course, we don’t know if Jeff was hoping for a daily raise or weekly.
Google “Inflation Calculator” and have some fun.
He who gets to laugh last is the boss.
So Jeff sold out and got nothing for it.
