Comic Strip Notes:

Pressed again for time, I had to throw this together quickly, so I used one frame copied, with just the conversation changing.  In the future, I may use either one, two or three panel, instead of only three.  Sometimes just a single panel would work just fine…

I don’t think I’ve even done a side profile of a comic before!  It’s different from what I imagined it would be!

Notes about Mr. Penny:

Mr. Penny’s head is really a penny shifted off-center to give it a sideways oval shape.  The fire-like hair is to represent a few things.  One being how Mr. Penny burns through money…  Mr. Penny is so thin to represent that he get by on the thinnest of margins.

Mr. Penny represent at least 4 friends of mine and their spending behavior.

Notes about MR:

The Money Reasons site is pretty small still (even if I did double my traffic in the past 2 months).  So the representation of MR is still a speck but growing.  While I’m still just a single point of reason, I now bigger than previous representations, and I decided to color the dot green both to represent money (frugal, investments, wealth), and the fact that I also try to do environmentally sounds practices.  Per Kris’s suggestion from Everyday Tips and Thoughts, I added a smiley face!

At certain milestones in the Money Reasons blog’s existence, I’ll evolve the look of MR.

Venetian Princess:  This beautiful parody entertainer is also a one-woman show with her parody videos.  Mostly, she does it all, with a green screen in her room.   Beautiful and talented, a winning combination and very successful!  If you want to be floored by some fascinating videos, check her youtube site out.

Punch Debt In The Face:  Interesting (and very original) blend of stick figure humor and personal finance (with great emphasis on the personal aspect).  Warning, this site is addicting because of the original humor!  If you visit more than twice, I think you’ll be hooked!

Budgets are Sexy:  And now the best for last!  J. Money’s site is both humorous and filled with great financially related posts!  Fun stuff all around!  Nice Blend J. Money!

That’s All Folks!  Have a great weekend!
