One thing I’ve noticed is there are plenty of fallacies regarding the banks intentions whenever talking about foreclosure. One fairy tale in particular is that often the bank needs to have your house. The lender wants your hard earned money, not the home. They want the bucks they lent you along with interest. Avoiding the bank will only draw the foreclosed summary. Thanks for your write-up.

By the way, when I say that Dustin is written from the point of view of a late middle-aged white guy, I’m referring not to the strip’s creator(s) but to the dad, who, despite the title, is clearly the main character.

Regarding “Dustin”, I don’t know about any conspiracies to sell it, though it certainly wouldn’t surprise me. But I’ve been reading it for a couple of months now and it certainly proves the point that to have a successful strip these days you have to target it to older readers. Though Dustin is ostensibly about a young person, it’s written from the point of view of a late middle-aged white guy. The jokes are all about how lazy the kid is and how much the wife spends on shoes, even though she supposedly has a good job and should have plenty of money of her own. There’s a heavy, conservative, 50s feel about the whole enterprise. Heck, the wife even looks like Dennis the Menace’s mom!
It’s quite true that kids love comics and devour strip collections–Calvin and Hobbes is a favorite among kids I know and it ended 15 years ago. But it seems they abandon print around the age of 12 and never go back. I haven’t met a 25 year old in years who admits to reading newspapers–and I doubt many will be picking them up to read Dustin.
