“Good! Shut up and get to work!!!”

Unfortunately, he only knows how to file a 1040EZ, so all their carefuly hoarded deductions are like smoke out the window.

A slug of the month calendar! I like it!

I don’t know, it just doesn’t add up.

Looks like he’s got their number.

Better hurry up with them before they lose interest.

He must have a very boring origin story.

Their taxes are such a mess, even Bleeb’s thrown up his hands…

Can somebody please tell me how to contact Accountant Man? I was looking over my shoebox o’ receipts just yesterday and saying, “This looks like a job for Accountant Man!”

I admit a slug-a-month calendar is much funnier to me then accountant man! Plus I’d gladly wade through receipts to get that pizza – diets during tax time stink! : )

I wonder if the stimulus check counts as taxable income?

Where is the mask most robbers wear?

Yes, Accountant Man got me a $5,000 refund and a certified letter from the I.R.S.

“ A-HA, ACCOUNTANT MAN! TIS I, YOUR EVIL NEMESIS, TAX MAN!!! YOUR PATHETIC ATTEMPT TO HELP THESE TAXPAYERS IS USELESS. YOUR LOOPHOLES WILL BE YOUR NOOSE! Ahem, er-uh, sorry…that was a little over the top, here’s your Form 1040. I’m leaving now, but beware! Your next supervillain encounter will be from my henchman…CONGRESSMAN! But that’s another comic!”

UC Santa Cruz alums? (their mascot is the Banana Slug)

Bleeb’s signalling a score.

“That’s great, Accountant Man, but where were you a little over a month ago?”

Sounds like a Monty Python bit . . .
