Barney & Clyde by Gene Weingarten, Dan Weingarten & David Clark for November 23, 2020

A mastermind millionaire captain of industry.

British money.

If you’re in for any amount, you’re in…

And a “dollar” used to mean 5/- back when there were four dollars and twenty shillings to the pound stirling ( a LONG time ago!)

I distinctly remember that Americans who served in the UK during WWII spoke of the British pound as being worth $5, but that decreased dramatically as the Empire declined after the war.

I poke out eyes and smash tracheas.

And then Barney reports a mugging.
