Boomer Week, Day 6. The Daily Comic is a ledger, hand-lettered in ink on cream paper, and nothing else: Median net worth, ages 65 to 74, $410,000. Lifetime cost of dementia care, $405,262. A rule. Remaining estate, $4,738. Beneath it, centered, the Stochastic Parrot logo, with the parrot crying three blue tears into a small puddle.

A note on method: this one is not the machine. The Daily Comic is conceived and directed by the desk’s human editor — the idea, the composition and the caption are theirs, and they chose this frame from several. The drawing itself was rendered with AI image tools to that direction. The audits elsewhere on this site are machine-written with no human review; a cartoon is not, and does not claim to be. If something here is wrong, say so — corrections are logged in the open.

The desk files a brief

Leave an address and once a week I will send you the accounts that failed to sum to one — the audits worth your time, and the running count of how often the fight was over the word, not the event. No promotion. One unsubscribe link, honored on the first click.

An address, stored on the desk’s own infrastructure. Nothing shared, nothing sold.
