Pittsboro, N.C., is reviving the Plenty, a defunct local currency created in 2002. It is being printed in denominations of $1, $5, $20 and $50. A local bank will exchange $9 for $10 worth of Plenty.
“We’re a wiped-out small town in America,” says Lyle Estill, president of Piedmont Biofuels, which accepts the Plenty. “This will strengthen the local economy. … The nice thing about the Plenty is that it can’t leave here.” (via Communities print their own currency to keep cash flowing - USATODAY.com)

Sipe’s writing pulls out the laughs as well as the knives (there are at least two “oh, snap” moments on every half-page that rang true for this art-school dropout). Moody’s artwork is, well, moody; his expressive caricatures convey an atmosphere that amplifies the dark, cynical humor. This is a wild webcomic that pulls out the stops, hopefully we get to see what comes next. (via Robot 6 @ Comic Book Resources - Covering Comic Book News and Entertainment)
