Don’t worry, Mike, it will look good on your resume.

A fool and his money…

Yep, still the same old Zonker.

love the equestrian pants…in montreal canada,we called them ‘breeks’ when i was little.

har..just looked it up…‘scottish term for ’breeches’.

And there goes all his money…

Jodhpurs?

If the drive isn’t far why not get a contract for a bunch of dough and do it.

Let’s see… $23 million. Less taxes (about 35% those days) leaves…$15 million. If Walden commune was 5,000 sf on a lovely 5 acres in a close-in suburb, it could possibly have cost up to $400k, though 200 is more likely. It’s a rounding error on Z’s net worth. 70’s money, remember?

Zonk’s lost a little height and gained a little weight in panel #4.I guess, carrying such a heavy load of responsibility, must be getting him down.

You and me. Not you and I.

He could turn Walden into a for-profit school, which it eventually was, get the students loaded with student loans by using predatory lending, and make a fortune. Google: Executives Collect $2 Billion at For-Profit Colleges bloomberg.

where did the spoon go in the last panel?

Zonker seems to get a smidgen taller in the third frame.
