There’s really no mystery as to why this cartoon was never published by National Business Employment Weekly. It was bought and paid for in July 1999, just a few months before Dow Jones, the parent company, decided to cease publication. During its lifetime, NBEW published over a hundred of my cartoons. The Editor very kindly returned my original drawing to me.
Gee, I hope nobody asks me what derivative trading is all about. I didn't know 14 years ago, when this cartoon appeared, and I still don't know.
