Panel 1: Cueball talking to Ponytail and White Hat. Both of them are looking at Cueball. Cueball: Everyone keeps talking about "personal data." To be honest, I don't really know what it is. Cueball: I mean, I understand the idea and know it's a thing I should protect. But it's so ... abstract.
Panel 2: Closeup on Ponytail Ponytail: Yeah. Ponytail: It's like "The Economy." I don't really know what the economy is, if we're getting specific. I know stocks going up is good. For people who own stocks, at least. Ponytail: Whatever "stocks" are.
Panel 3: White Hat responds. Both Ponytail and Cueball are looking at him. White Hat: Yeah, or taxes. Everyone talks about taxes. What ARE' they? Do I have to pay them? And to who? [sic] Cueball: Ok, wait, you definitely need to learn about that one. Ponytail: Yeah, Ideally sometime in the next few weeks. [tr note: in the US, the last day to file taxes (or request an extension?) is April 15th. The comic was released 23 March.]
Title Text: [Presumably a continuation of White Hat's conversation] Do I just leave money in my mailbox? How much? How much money do they need, anyway? I guess it probably depends [on] how the economy is doing. If stocks go up, should I leave more money in my mailbox or less?
