Actually, most people work for next to nothing.

It’s the LOVE of money that’s the root of all evil.

One of the most misquoted verses from the Bible. You’re right Aryalover.

According to MAD Magazine, CB made all that money because he deliberately lost all those baseball games and was paid by gamblers to do so :D

Right on, Aryalover!

There is nothing wrong with money itself, but rather in the way it is worshipped \ used.

I digress from the comic slightly: One of the things I enjoyed about having an office in Santa Rosa, Ca. years ago, was that was where Charles Schultz had his home and office, and also, of course, the famous “Snoopy” (Redwood Empire) ice skating arena. A lot of fun just to visit and watch… Snoopy’s Place

The last I heard, Justin Thompson of the brilliant “Mythtickle” works for “Peanuts”.

BTW, the “root of all evil” cliche was demolished ages ago by the famous “Money Speech” in Ayn Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged”. Everyone should read at least the speech if not the whole novel. The speech can be found at

Actually, a better read would be “The Value of Nothing” by Raj Patel.
