Money doesn’t change a person. It just brings out their true personality.

Some wear their wealth on their sleeve and some you’d never know their worth!

I hope he’s only carrying Bill as far as the airport.

“Would you like fries with that?”

“ the first thing you know old Bill’s a millionaire, the kinfolk said Bill move away from there. They said Californy is the place you ought to be”

Ah yes the 1980s when beautiful California was a wonderful place to live.

So is Bill the only one heading to Californy, or are the rest of the band going with him as well?

And if they aren’t, is this the end of the band?

Bill is living large, with his servant, Mr. Penguin Opus. Yet, ‘tis true, $12M doesn’t go nearly aa far today (2023) as it did then (1980s; can’t quite make out the exact year between panels 1 and 2)….

It reveals a person’s soul to a vast audience of curiosity seekers.

$12 MILLION might get you a house in the Hollywood Hills—maybe.
