Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "It's Delightful, It's Delectable, It's De-Dollarization!"


from DC's anarchist cartoonist -

This is a piece I'd sketched out earlier but originally tossed for 
being too complex, too obscure an issue... but then, a couple of weeks 
ago I was reading about how BRICS was strengthening, 
"de-dollarization" was spreading, how the spread of de-dollarization 
was starting to get people shook on the Hill and how this means the 
issue might finally break out into public media, and about how the 
BRICS countries were contemplating creating an alternate reserve 
currency and  — and suddenly, that goofy-ass dollar-bill parody gag 
was starting to look pretty good...
