The following is a one-page excerpt from a compilation of comics about Scrooge McDuck, icon to many.

[McDuck, reading a letter from the 'Roster of the Rich'. Eyes bulging.]
“To Mr. McDuck, Congratulations! Today you passed the Maharajah of Howduyustan! You made it! You’re now the richest man in the world!”

[Next box -- McDuck jumping for joy]
McDuck: “Hoo-Hah! I’ve finally done it! This is the moment I’ve been waiting for ever since I shined that ditchdigger’s boots!”

[Next box -- a crowd has gathered outside McDuck's vault. Some look angry and others look despondent/jealous]
Protestor 1: “Not a single handout! What a tightwad!”
Protestor 2: “Wow! It must be great to be Scrooge McDuck! He has everything!”

[Last box -- teary-eyed family in one corner. A shot of Scrooge's enormous vault with a $ sign on the outside.]
Scrooge relations: “No, Scrooge once had everything! Now all he has is money and all that money can buy! *sigh*”
Scrooge (from inside the vault): “I”m the richest man in the world! ME! BWAH-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!”
