I won't say that every comic has to be hilarious, but I will say that at least make them so that they give me a smile. This comic didn't give me a smile. :(
Where was this strip when the financial geniuses on Wall Street were coming up with their brilliant ideas? Perhaps this little analogy could have slapped some sense into them and saved the world a lot of pain. (It doesn't seem like this one really requires hindsight to see clearly.) ... seriously though ... nice strip.
