Photo of a page from the July issue of In These Times, depicting a six-panel comic from Haus of Decline. Panel 1: A woman standing and smiling in front of a chart. “THE ADVENTURES OF BLOODLESS QUANT” Panel 2: Another woman pleads to Bloodless Quant: “Bloodless Quant, please help! I can’t afford to feed my family!” Panel 3: BQ replies, “That’s ludicrous. The stock market is at an all-time high” Panel 4: The woman says “But groceries are—“ but BQ cheerfully interjects, “You shouldn’t make statements if you don’t have economic literacy!” Panel 5: BQ holds up a chart with a line rocketing upward, saying “Here’s a chart explaining why your fears are unfounded” Panel 6: A boy asks the woman, “What are we having for dinner tonight?” The woman dejectedly stirs a pot with the chart in it. “Chart,” she replies.
