Red and Rover by Brian Basset for February 23, 2020

“Fly Trans-Love Airways, getcha there on time

Fly Jefferson Airplane, getcha there on time.”

Dang, that’s a lot of cents.

I found my “cent” key: ¢ ¢ ¢ ¢ (alt 155)

In the 60s, the horse was only 1¢. Sometimes there also was a 10¢ horse, but no one was lining up for that one.

Mars is so pricey anymore…better to fly domestically!

Oooops! Rover, we forgot my piggy bank….cha ching

I see Red and Rover are off to another adventure….love it….

Boys can’t afford that ride

Too bad, kids.

Forget it, boys! You don’t need that thing to go on an awesome space adventure!

time to find a big cardboard box and make your own rocket.

How could it be “just like the real thing”. Manned flights to Mars are still something for the future about fifty years after Red’s childhood.

It’s totally not worth it.

If they had any cents they wouldn’t ride on that thing anyway.

Who can break a C-note for me?

Hmmm …. Perhaps that last ride makes no cents at all?

Elon Musk strikes again!

You don’t see those as often but I still remember seeing parents plop their toddlers down on those rides, especially the horses, and without ever having to put in a coin, the kids got a thrill!

$40,000,000 I knew Disney Parks had gone up, but that’s ridiculous

Red, you want space travel, be ready to pay.

Rode that at Disney World. Best ride I ever had.

Oh, my boys! Wish i had the pennies for you!

Thank goodness imagination is still free.

The ride on horse my kids rode was “Sandy.” Its coin counter was broken and replaced with a switch and a sign saying, “Please turn off when not in use.”

400,000,000,000 cents is is 4 billion dollars or 16 billion quarters. I doubt Red has that many quarters and I doubt that coin box could hold that many quarters. But, it is a cute comic.

At the meijer’s store in our town, the horse is only 1 cent
