Strip by: Muk

Rat: Say, what do you know about business economics?
Pig: "Shesellsseashellsbythesheshore..." Nuts!... "Shesellssheshells..." Nuts!... "Seeshells"... Nuts! Nuts! Nuts!
Rat: But the value of these shells will fall due to the laws of supply and demand
{Pig is sad}
Rat: No one wants to buy shells 'cause there's loads on the sand.

The author writes:

So first, Pig has to create a sense of scarcity...
