Speaking of Hollingsworth Hound, here’s a comic from 2013 with his counterpart Lucky Ducky during one of our periodic Great Minimum Wage Debates.
Just as Senator John Thune recently waxed nostalgic about his $1/hour and $6/hour high school jobs, in 2013 Representative Paul Ryan said that he earned minimum wage asa kid, but never thought that was his permanent “station” in life. So we shouldn’t raise the minimum wage; those kinds of jobs are just fun practice-jobs for upper middle class white kids on their way to college.

Below, there’s a picture of Otis the puppy, after his first haircut. IT WAS NOT A GROOMING - he’s too tough for that. It was a haircut, and during it he smoked a cigar, read a comic book, and argued about boxing.
