Ha, I remember when I created this Mr. Penny comic strip (he’s the blonde, I’m the green dot), it was more criticism about the belief of what wealth is and how to successfully build it. Too many people spend their wealth in foolish ways, and really don’t build a true wealth build system.

In the comic strip I reference the book “The Great Gatsby” as a financial book, but the fictional character “Mr. Gatsby” isn’t really creating wealth, he’s just earning/accumulating money faster than he’s spending it. Earned income is not forever, and sometimes drops off quickly that’s why he should have been building an investment portfolio first! Mr Gatsby’s income was through selling illegal alcohol, but if he survived in the story, he would have lost his income either by incarceration or the loss of his business model when prohibition ended.

Below is my best personal work in the series from a drawing perspective. The only thing I would have changed was the communication bubble. It looks more like a thought bubble than actual speaking bubble. Then again, maybe he was imagining speaking to me…

Memories… lol

Have a great week!
