This reminds me of this one time, years ago, when I was a kid, when our family came SO CLOSE, to winning a McDonald’s lottery—the idea was to find ALL the parts, to the phrase “WINNING COMBINATION,” so as to win LOTS OF MONEY-it was like a grand. Anyway, the AT in “combination,”was the only part we couldn’t find. Just in terms of coming SO CLOSE to accomplishing something BIG, even if it is “too good to be true,” is why this strip reminds me of the aforementioned time. And speaking of things like lotteries, they actually do that ON PURPOSE, I have heard-make it so a certain part of what you need is HARD TO FIND.
