Sure it’s at the very end. But we’re definitely not going to quibble. We just hope that no one’s actually making investment decisions based on our cartoons.
Hey Andrew! Let us know when you’re ready to “meet” Bankruptcy Bill and we’ll cartoon-ize you for a strip.
For this book, Karen Ho, a professor of anthropology at the University of Minnesota, actually spent three years working for a Wall Street bank as part of her on-site research, and the investment bankers are referred to as “natives” (in the anthropological parlance). One of the interesting notions she presents is that the process of using corporate layoffs to improve the share price and bottom line is more correctly viewed as Wall Street exporting its own internal culture–one of insecurity and adaptability–to the rest of corporate America.
We understand completely: You want something to read at the beach, but darnit, there’s just not enough good bankruptcy literature out there. (Well, with the exception of bankruptcy haiku. But those are just so…y’know…short.) We hear your cries, and that is why we offer….
Before we publish the next BAPCPA Man cartoon strip, we thought those of you with children, godchildren, nephews, nieces, and/or paleontologists in your life might like to know about Dino Pets, the wonderfully illustrated children’s book written by Lynn Plourde and illustrated by Bankruptcy Bill’s very own Gideon Kendall.
Apologies to everyone whose blog was previously included here. We're having some technical problems with a bunch of the rss feeds (tricky little things) and the feeds weren't working for a number of blogs. Hence the removal of them from the sidebar for the time being. We're working on getting them up and running again.
