Sorry I’ve been MIA these last few days; I took a short holiday after putting together the Carnival of Personal Finance: Jane Austen Edition, but have a bunch of new posts in the works.
Calvin and Hobbes Lemonade Stand Economics
My Spanish professor from college forwarded me this Calvin and Hobbes comic the other day, which I thought was a cute lesson in economics.
Click on the comic to view it in full size.

Oh, my gosh…that is so funny. Well, it would be funny if it wasn’t so sad.
Thanks for bringing a smile to my day!

You’re right it is a little depressing considering … I didn’t think of that. But it’s still a cute way of illustrating the depressing situation.
