This comic is 15-years-old, but somebody just shared it with me, and it seems great... and pretty relevant.

I just love Calvin & Hobbes 
That is a brilliant cartoon, high finance explained in 10 seconds.
That is why I considered Cartoons an amazing form of art, Bill Watterson is a cartoon master.

A colleague of mine introduced me to Calvin & Hobbes last year. I love it!
