Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

The gentleman in the comic has lost all his money ‘investing’ in cryptocurrency. As a result, he is not only unable to afford the additional dollar for extra guacamole, but he is totally unable to afford the cost of the sandwich at all.
Another layer of the joke is how confident he was he could afford it, both in walking in and starting the process as well as his smug expression when pulling out his phone.
It hints to the volatility of crypto; you could be a thousandaire, millionaire, and homeless in the time it takes you to decide on whether or not banana peppers would go well with your other toppings.
Of course, BitCoin is doing better than ever, and it will continue to rise while Russia is under sanctions and drives demand.
Unless you do what they call a "rookie move" and don't keep a personal wallet.
