I hate when someone goes on the brim just to avoid traffic jams. One of my friends does this, and it drives me crazy! I find this character flaw in him very upsetting!!!

Grumble Rumblings Of The Untenured: Videos on fixing things – I intended on linking to something funny on Nicole and Maggie”s site, but this article was so darn useful, I had to include it instead! Check it out if you need to fix something that is broke!
Len Penzo: https://www.lenpenzo.com/ – Len’s site is both funny and a very entertaining read. Soak it all in because even his homepage has very funny elements!
MacHall: https://www.machall.com/ – I included this site because of the incredible artist that created this not defunct comic series. It’s still worth going back into the archive and checking out the artwork, then the humor.
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.

The introduction of Mr. Penny (who’s hair might turn a flaming yellow/orange color in the future would represent that he spends like a wildfire, or spends like there is no tomorrow) was a name that both my daughter and I thought of. I liked the name because it reminds me of the sayings “he doesn’t have a penny to his name” (lol), and “it will cost a pretty penny“
MR (the representation of me) is still just a dot, and I many keep it that way, or I may grow MR as the www.moneyreasons.com site grows.
