Ann Has No Savings, Bob Is a Millionaire

This is Ann This is Bob Ann has been working full time since she was a teenager. Ann has no savings. Bob used his computer to mine bitcoin in 2012 in the hope of making hard to trace purchases of child pornography. Bob is now a millionaire.

A simple two-panel drawing introduces Ann, who has worked full time since her teens but has no savings, and Bob, who mined Bitcoin in 2012 to make hard-to-trace purchases of child pornography and is now a millionaire. The joke contrasts conventional hard work with an absurdly unethical and unexpectedly profitable use of early cryptocurrency, making it a reaction to unfair luck or the bizarre ways people become rich.
