Rancorous bosses, quirky workers, and an up-and-down stock market populate the world of 9 to 5. A cast of regular characters include J.B. Wells (the boss), Sims (office flunkey), and Ms. Forbes. While mainly a satire on business, the comic also pokes fun at technology, relationships, dogs and cats, and life in general. The cartoon is by Harley Schwadron, whose business cartoons have appeared in Playboy, Barrons, and many other top publications for many years.

Great euphemism, but rather late. John Steinbeck already called them, »temporarily embarassed millionaires«.

Sounds like something our politicians today would use as an excuse.

That’s great! I’ll file my negative wealth income tax and get a huge refund!

I’ve been negatively wealthy since I’ve been born then.

It just goes to prove the old saw: You can put lipstick and a tiara on a pig, but in the end — it’s still a pig.
