We watched episode 8 of WandaVision today, and we have some questions. Not about the plot or anything—although the plot is so good and we can’t wait for next week—our questions are about the economics of being a superhero. In one scene Wanda drives away in a Buick. How does she have any money? Does the Avengers organization pay her a stipend? How are they funded? Are the Avengers some kind of tax-exempt 501(c)(3)? Did Tony Stark seed the Avengers from the Stark foundation or do they get their money from the U.S. government via SHIELD, SWORD, or the Department of the Interior?
My broken brain then cogitated about the income tax situation of different superheroes. That led to today’s comic. It’s a little longer than usual (14 frames), but it’s a fast read.

I don’t have any links to share today, I spent most of the day on a day trip out to the coast to take some pictures for future haiku comics. I’ll do better tomorrow.
Be the poetry you want to see in the world,
