Tom Sloan Cartoon: Get Rich Quick (With Fleas)

In the latest Tom Sloan cartoon, Tom says you can you get rich quick — by selling fleas.

aNewDomain — There are some ideas that fall right in our laps.

Now, the first three frames of this cartoon are real. Years ago, I was in a veterinarian’s office that had a poster on the wall about how fast fleas can multiply. Someone, who wasn’t me, wrote, ” … and sell them for $1 each.” Great idea! But, as great of an idea as that was, I just never had the gumption to start raising fleas. cartoons78 million fleas

Now that I have put forth this wonderful idea to the Internet masses, I will expect to see an infomercial on TV from someone selling fleas pretty soon. But wait, there’s more. Act now and they will double the offer. Get not one but two fleas for only one dollar.

For aNewDomain.net, I’m Tom Sloan.
