This Cartoon was originally published Feb 16th, 1992.

Sounds kind of familiar, doesn't it?

I agree. The pricing of lemonade is ridiculous on the current day. C&H is king.

I was walking home one day from work, and there were these girls selling lemonade at 2 dollars a glass. TWO FREAKING DOLLARS a glass. It looks like Bill Watterson knew about all of this beforehand.

It's all good, capitalism always has governemt to fall back on, who in turn can look to the IMF, who are taken care of by the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Not really, it doesn't really refer to the real causes of the financial crisis at all. The basic message seems to be "If only we didn't pay wages, things would be cheaper". What a load of BS.

Is the point that the general population's knowledge of economics made up of myth and faslehood?

Bill Watterson was obviously a prophet of a brand new form of Calvinism. :P
