Comic #4371: dadbucks
Description
Here’s the transcription of the comic:
Panel 1: "I decided to create a reward system for household chores. From now on, for each chore done, you will be paid in 'dabbucks,' which can be exchanged for ice cream, theme park outings, candy, and so on!"
Panel 2: "I offered excellent rates!" "Now? I can go to Disney Land by just mowing the lawn twice?" "Don't get irrationally exuberant."
Panel 3: "The child worked hard." "Wow! I think I’m experiencing arbitrariness!"
Panel 4: "But then something awful happened." "The exchange rate is horrible! I’d better contact the dabbuck reserve bank."
Panel 5: "Policy changes were issued!" "The people of the household have lost faith in the value of dabbucks. In order to rectify this situation, we are asking all citizens to take a major hit to their savings." "Well…" "If it stops the problem."
Panel 6: "It did not stop the problem." "Dabbucks are in freefall. It's like a single ice cream!" "I blame the media."
Panel 7: "New strategies were proposed." "Dabbucks to a stable currency?" "Great idea!"
Panel 8: "New problems arose." "Okay! I can’t believe that’s the real exchange rate! I don't know if you can even buy one cookie!"
Panel 9: "The black market was a dangerous place." "I can get a dollar store lemon drop for 700 dabbucks!" "Dad!" "I know it's you."
Panel 10: "You two names. Kid, just call me Turbo-Oper!"
Panel 11: "The system worked great." "I’m never doing a chore again!" "That's fine. The important thing to note is that it’s not my fault the dishes aren’t done."
Panel 12: "But a great externality was discovered." "It’s your fault the dishes aren’t done."
Panel 13: "A foreign leader gained control of the banking sector. The intelligentsia were forced to labor like common peasants."
Panel 14: "The loyalty of the citizens has been purchased cheap." "There’s a price coming, and for the love of God, don’t tell anyone about my love."
Panel 15: "Deposits is the law of the land." "I think you should contribute anything to household maintenance." "Again with this argument?!"
