Government-Issued Comic Books

August 27, 2008 · 1 Comment

So, there was this one time when I was at work about two years ago and I stumbled upon the fact that the Federal Reserve Bank made comic books. Right. I was shocked. But, I love comic books and I love the Fed (Greenspan > Bernanke, obvi), so I order, like 10 of all of them ’cause they’re free. Still have copies, if you all are interested. Wishes and Rainbows and Once Upon a Dime are my favorites. Maybe that can be our first blog give-away!

Anyways, apparently when you order like 50 copies of Fed Comix, they think that you’re some kind of teacher who uses them to like educate, um, kids, or the elderly, or something. Not just some nerd who likes ephemera. So, they send you a survey. And it looks something like this:

Shredded Wheat, I get. This, not so much.

Shredded Wheat, I get. This, not so much.

So, yeah. I’ll let you all know when I get a bag of shredded currency from the Fed (?!). Or a gym bag.

    they only made 3 federal reserve gym bags or is it 3 types of designs? i can’t wait to see what “prize” you get. perhaps you can pair it up with gold leather pants. it can probably fall into one of those types of dress codes you posted about.
