Description

Here’s the transcription of the comic's text:

Panel 1

Person 1: Hi, I’d like to withdraw some money from my– what’s with the fire?

Bank Employee: Oh, that. In order to prevent a bank run, we transferred all physical assets and banking information to a single warehouse surrounded by a great ring of flames.

Panel 2

Person 1: So can I get my money out?

Bank Employee: Absolutely– anyone willing to walk through the moat of endless conflagration can have their assets at will.

Panel 3

Bank Employee: The old system was the gradual consolidation of all wealth in a tiny number of banks that were so large that they could demand their failures be subsidized by threatening average citizens with crisis.

Panel 4

Person 1: Maybe add some sharks around the moat? And spikes?
