The third & last ones are the funniest. Number one reminded me of my ex-wife on how well she could loaf around, spend money on unnecessary items, refuse to hold a steady job, and just stay home when she wasn’t shopping unnecessarily and sit on her @$$. Fortunately in TN alimony was limited to 12 weeks then she had to get off her lazy @$$ and find a job.
The top ‘toon from ’56 is probably my favorite here. Keeping up with the Joneses, indeed. All of these people completely in debt to “impress” other people that don’t know who you they are or care. What a toxic value system!
I love #2 (from ’65) also. It’s not really funny though. I’m figuring their daughter needs braces/orthodontic work done, and they can’t afford it. Not good. Looks may not be everything, but they’re important. With #3, he’s just letting them all go right into the garbage container.
My advice to most of these people is to make payment arrangements with the account adjuster so they don’t get out of control in the first place. Sometimes it’s even within their control to lower them; you’d be surprised
“Taint funny McGee!” Molly used to say to Fibber. That’s how I feel about the bills cartoons. What was I thinking when I bought that big thing?
