TITLE BOX
In the title box, DAD gestures for RAYNE to join him and MOM in the kitchen.
DAD
Come on.
NEXT PANEL, RAYNE sits at the table, where DAD is setting up MONOPOLY.
RAYNE
What’s going on?
DAD
We’re going to teach you about capitalism.
NEXT ROW
INSIDE – KITCHEN. DAD starts handing out the Monopoly money. RAYNE’s confused.
DAD
We each start the game with the same amount of money.
RAYNE
We all start with the same amount?
RAYNE grimaces.
DAD
Yeah, otherwise it’s not fair.
RAYNE
This doesn’t sound like capitalism, comrade.
DAD sighs, RAYNE holds out his hand for the money.
DAD
How would you do it?
RAYNE
Here.
RAYNE now holds all the money.
RAYNE
I start with all the money.
DAD
How do I buy anything?
RAYNE answers.
RAYNE
I loan you the funds at a ridiculously high rate of interest.
DAD is losing interest, and RAYNE doesn’t understand the question.
DAD
And who wins?
RAYNE
I won before we started playing.
