    Default 11/8 -11/1402023: Brother, Can You Spare A Dime?

    BROTHER, CAN YOU SPARE A DIME?
    This theme was inspired by a podcast I listened to a few months ago about the Great Depression. A regular trope in comic books is about characters going through a rough patch where they’re down at the heels and/or in the gutter, so post covers featuring bad times for good (or not so good) people!



    THE RULES:
    1) Post One (& ONLY ONE) Cover that fits the theme of this Week's Contest!
    2) Cover must be from a Published Comic Book or Collected Volume!
    3) Covers must be Posted before Voting Begins!
    4) Voting Begins 12 AM Tuesday and Runs Until 12 AM Wednesday PST (3 AM EST)!
    5) Vote by Posting the name in BOLD of the Poster whose cover best fits the theme or that you simply like the most! A vote need not be in bold, but it does make it easier to Count-The-Votes!
    6) The Winner of the Contest is the Entry with the MOST Votes after the Voting-Period!
    7) It's Okay to Discuss the Covers but if you Think Someone's Entry Doesn't Fit the Theme or Violates the Rules, you Don't need to Argue it in the thread, Simply Don't Vote for It!
    8) Plus: Occasionally Voting will Result in a Tie! The Person Who Started the Thread will do the Counting that Week will Usually call for a TIE-Breaking --Vote from Someone who has Not Yet Voted!
    9) AFTER the Tie-Breaker Vote, Voting Ends and the Winner is Declared by The One Who Started the Thread (or assigned surrogate) and Thus will do the Counting.
    10) HAVE FUN!

    I omitted the financial aspect so I changed it…

    A blanket of newspaper covered his head
    As the curb was his pillow, the street was his bed
    One look at his face showed the hard road he’d come
    And a fistful of coins showed the money he bummed

    Only a hobo, but one more is gone
    Leavin’ nobody to sing his sad song
    Leavin’ nobody to carry him home
    Only a hobo, but one more is gone

    If you still have your zip-a-tone, are you really that destitute? Asking for a friend.

    You'd be surprised how hard it was to find a TF comic that fit.
