Zach Weiner over at SMBC comics often writes economics related comics. Now, I know that most economists don’t really like his comics because he often gets the details wrong and regularly presents economics in a fairly negative light. But I am willing to look past these flaws because the comics are usually still pretty funny.

Take this one for example. [Note: I’m happy to hear ideas on better ways to embed the comics onto this site. I’m new to this stuff, so not really sure the best way to do it.]

I mean, yeah, the elicitation mechanism isn’t incentive compatible and of course the guy actually does want to buy beans at non-equilibrium prices (I’d buy everything at the non-equilibrium price of zero if I could), but it’s funny.

And if you want to know what my board game nights are like…

Update: Only a few days after I put this post up Zach posted this comic up. Horrible misapplication of the EMH. The comic could be partially saved if the text was edited to read “Sorry. But, according to the EMH, if sex with you were a good idea, somebody would be doing it already.”
