The dollar amounts are written in a slightly different style than the rest of the dialogue. I wonder how much that cat was worth when this strip originally ran.
This is a trick cattle breeders used to use:A sold a bull for $30,000 to BB sold a bull for $40,000 to A(thus A only was out $10,000)Similar trades for C, D, E etcAnd when “Ferdinand” was bid up to, say,$60,000 he’d be sold to an outsider for $50,000 and he’d think he got a bargain!

I think Jeff is like a deck of 50 cards, a few shy where it counts.
