Economic Recovery a Quarter Away
on Saturday, August 10, 2013
Funny Money Cartoon: Three months can be a long wait when you have only 25 cents to carry you through the economic recovery period. Doug Pike in Splattered on the Road to Wealth
“The recovery is just another quarter away? I hope so, because that is what I’m down to” — Doug Pike
The comic strip is making light of the ongoing economic uncertainty by having a character express doubt about predictions of economic recovery.
Saying he hopes the recovery is just “another quarter away” because that’s “what I’m down to” is a play on words that humorously suggests the character is financially struggling, down to just one more quarter (three months) before facing difficulties.
This taps into anxieties many feel about their economic situation in a way that finds humor in an otherwise serious issue.
