Funny Money Friday: Credit in the Comics

by Emily Peters on 08/29/2008

Money doesn’t have to be boring! Each week, CreditBloggers.com
takes a look at the lighter side of the personal finance world in a
series called Funny Money Friday.

Mary Worth, the long-running soap opera comic strip and frequent brunt of jokes at the Comics Curmudgeon, has recently turned its attention to identity theft. 
Over the past month, we’ve been following the thrills and chills of:

Getting
gas with a credit card!

Receiving a credit card fraud warning!

The excitement is almost too much to handle. Will this weekend’s strip include Toby calling the credit bureaus to place a 90-day fraud alert? Or completing an ID Theft Affidavit with the FTC?  Does she know her rights as an identity theft victim? I’m on the edge of my seat.
