Red and Rover by Brian Basset for October 30, 2014

Penny’s are pretty scary!

Better give Red his sugar fix…this is starting to look like “The Lost Weekend”!

Definitely an old strip, only a penny? In today’s inflated economy it would have to be a quarter if not a half-dollar.

Canada doesn’t have pennies anymore.

I remember back then we would go out a night or two before Halloween to participate in “Trick or Treat for Unicef” carrying little orange and black collection boxes. Some adults would give us the raised eyebrow because we were actually supposed to collect for Unicef on Halloween instead of getting candy. Not sure how many kids were that selfless. I figured going a night or two before was a win/win for everyone.

Sorry Red.

ellisaana: They don’t make them, but they are on hand at the Federal Reserve. Banks won’t circulate them, they have Kennedy on them – same as they won’t circulate $2.00 bills because of Jefferson, the hero of the Populists over a century ago. Banks don’t know the reason, they just follow tradition.

Gotta find that fine line – good luck Red.

I have a $2 bill… somewhere =-O

They still make the old “extra compartment” cash registers, it is just that those who work for slave wages can’t read or count well enough for them but require those that have pictures and say what the change should be.
