[ Translated From 1938 Dollars ]

Title Text: I mean, it wouldn't look as impressive if it was just $70

I'm pretty sure these guys are legit. He's got a hook for a hand. That's legit ;)

Huh, the hookhand guy has a unique head(sort of), Peanut's really getting more diversive with his art.

Spot spotted as he goes up the wall,
Keeping going, up the building tall.
Hiding above the dreaded Hook hand;
Trying to figure what he’s got planned.
Remembering he’s a reporter he checks in;
Reminded of the plan with o bosses tight grin.
Sent off to investigate like a shot;
Reminded he’s got to get on with the plot.
If paper shuffling builds your muscle;
They can’t see Spot’s in on the hustle.
With a signature a Supergoon is made -
Just as long as they remember he get’s paid!

Well we just basically went back to the beginning, right? I wonder where Peanut's going to take it from here?

Hey, bro.
Totally having a great time being evil villain. The hook really helps, thanks.
Wish you were here.

"My firstborn son was adopted, anyway."
"... then he isn't a firstborn if he's adopted."
"Hey, you questioning my logic? I now have $1200 that says otherwise."

And Spot is signing his love life away. Know any other places Stripe works at? :3

You know... This is easily the most serious spot comic that Peanut has ever made.

Granted that's not saying much... but still.

And there, Spot found the dog with the hook. That should be a television, Spot, but it's shape is still pretty unusual. ;) Oh, at least you realize you have limits. :D You really need to report anything, eh? :P And so, Spot has been engaged for this work that we're going to see, and I agree with him: that not suspicious payment is very good. :P ;) Aww, how bad of a father do that! :lol: The dialogues are so funny. :D

I wonder when the villains will learn about the two casualties that happened because of Spot being clumsy and Hook Guy wanting to have someone killed?

This is great stuff,I love the nod to comics of the past. Peanut's drawing is really improving. I wonder how much he's paying Joey, he doesn't get that much of an allowance, at least last time we saw.

I'm thinking that Peanut probably saved up a lot of money before hand.

Fun with math:

$1,200 in 1938 = roughly $20,000 in 2015.

So $20,000 a week in salary * 50 work weeks in a year is $1,000,000 a year.

Would you like to be a millionaire? You too can afford grand luxury by signing this not at all suspicious contract with a guy who has a hook for a hand.

And possibly selling your firstborn son who is your BIOLOGICAL son and not your ADOPTIVE son. If we find out you lied,you forfeit your life. :twisted:
