Sherman's Lagoon by Jim Toomey for December 26, 2022

Sounds like Sherman understands it well enough.

Sherman has nothing to worry about. He would have to ask Megan for the money. We know how that would go.

Sherman is sharper than anyone imagined!

The best and simplest description of Crypto yet.

Let’s pretend you gave him your real money.

Maybe the orange crab is going to sell trading cards for a money laundering scheme. You have to learn from the best grifter.

that REALLY is how it happened except the dude who did it looked more like a poison dart toad than a crab

While the comic’s spot on about Crypto the timing.. is sadly very bad.

Megan has a tight hold on the purse strings. Sherman’s “real” money is as save as if it was in Fort Knox. If you want to get technical, it’s all “pretend” money. There hasn’t been gold backing for our currency for decades.

The crypto market has collapsed and Sam Bankman-Fried is going to jail. Truly an excellent time for Hawthorne to dive into crypto trading… with someone else’s money.

I think it’s a safe bet that this scheme, like all of Hawthorne’s schemes, will end up blowing up in his face.

Worked for some big spenders…

“I’m a shark – you need to find dumber investors. Start going after celebrities.”

If I want pretend money, I’ll buy a Monopoly game. It has higher value than Crypto.

“Pretend money,” I love it.

Hawthorne is the Mayor, a politician, and a crooked one at that, so who would trust a crooked politician to invest their “real” money in “fake” money? Well, there is a lot of that going around these days.

Perfect description of Crypto I’ve ever read

Nailed it Sherm

Yup! Just the very reason I don’t trust crypto!
